Rolled over in bed and kept smelling that wonderful scent.... Hoppes #9, but didn't know where it was coming from. Then I remembered I had just cleaned my new used P230 with it and didn't have any Gunscrubber to flush with afterwards, so just wiped it off which left the strong aroma behind! With the pistol slid under the covers I could smell it every time I rolled over! Razz

I really wish it was made in cologne format!!! Big Grin

I am told that the scent is from 'banana oil', which I made in chemistry class. More than you ever wanted to know...

You can always put in in your car if you really like the smell.

Like WD-1 through 39 or Preparations A through G, I wonder what Hoppes No. 1 through 8 were like.

Ah, yes, many, many years ago in organic chemistry. "Today, we are going to synthesize esters. Chemicals that smell and taste good."

Probably the best day I ever had in organic chemistry!
