Okay well I have narrowed down the o' so sweet smell of Hoppes bore cleaner..... So I was helping the wife the other day make a gingerbread cake and she asked me to get a few things out, one of which was whole nutmeg. Well being a guy (as most can agree) I just had to inspect this weird new introduction into my small world.........with my nose. I was taken by surprise, and if you don't believe me go to the spice rack and check for yourself but NUTMEG has got to be the base of Hoppes!!!! Pre-ground works but to really get it you have to get the Whole Nutmeg nuts, I guessing there classified as nuts and great them. There is a little bit more of a vinegar smell to Hoppes but this is the closest thing I have found in nature.
