smells of pineapple as far as I am concerned but everyone else says it
smells of cat pee. Bloody cats!

If I remember correctly, Sacha alikens it somewhat more grapically.
I've never been into a typing pool on a hot day and I think I'm rather

As a chemist you had to smell everything ( prior to Health & Safety)
I am proud to say that I know the smell of Cyanide gas, Phosphine, and
Arsine.
