Distinctive smell of packages from China
<< < (3/6) > >>
Alex Eisenhut:
I've smelled that a few times, something floral, almost like lychee. It was pleasant, but totally IMO out pf place. It would be like getting a lavender-scented scope probe, or patchouli phone...

When you said "slightly sweet", my thought was some sort of chlorocarbon solvent.
AntiProtonBoy:
Maybe it's the same stuff they use in mothballs? Fumigation chemicals perhaps?

I think that's it. I've noticed the smell from the thin cardboard stuff comes in.
helius:
Fabric articles exported from places like India are required to be fumigated to prevent the spread of insect pests. The smell is distinctive and lingers for years.
The only smell I have noticed from China articles is more of a plastic resin odor and I think it is related to the feedstocks used.
