Though they do have that nice spicy scent, akin to incense you’d smell at a Catholic Church, there is defo a hint of dry rot.

    Relevant Smithsonian article.

    I’d probably skip on the animal fat and bitumen, but cedar, juniper, and cypress all smell pretty good.

    Apparently the scent could also vary slightly depending on who was being embalmed.

      i dunno, musky scents like that do have their place in the perfume world, in moderation.
