I have a Driftwood scented candle. It smells like everything but driftwood. Once I also had shampoo that smelled like amethyst. That's a stone. A stone. It doesn't smell!!
Scientist say the space smells like charred meat and welded metal. Astronauts have said their equipment smells like this after coming in from working on their hulls in space. This may be due to polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) the are emitted when stars are formed. If you go to a cloud near the centre of the milky way called Sagittarius B2 you could smell raspberries and rum as it is jampacked with ethyl formate which gives raspberries and rum their flavour.
I once had hand sanitizer that was supposedly "cinnamon scented". I don't what the makers were sniffing when they made it because it honestly smelled like biryani :)
I found one scent of "children's hope" but i didn't buy it because it smelled awful. I'm terrified to know what kind of hope is that aromatherapy trying to represent.
