                        This is hilarious. I am glad others have noticed this as well. When I opened a bottle of paint for the first time in 30 years recently, it immediately brought me back to those 1960's snow days in New England when I would get to stay home from school and just work on models. Blizzard outside, hours of modeling progress inside.

                        I aquired a bottle of Testors liquid cement, the kind with the brush in the cap, about a year ago. When I opened it my head was filled with all the memories of my school-aged years of modeling in the 70's and 80's. Now I got to have it just for that reason.

                        Yeah, it does have some kind of sweet smell after you get pass the alcohol.

                        Tamiya Extra Thin Cement has a gummy like candy smell too!

                        Hmm, you guys are pretty weird, my Tamiya paints smell artificial and sharp like any other paint. I guess they are relatively new...

                        Now, isopropyl alcohol, on the other hand...that stuff smells nice. Reminds me off...cleansing.
