The Smell Test: Hits and Misses
Early impressions of the scented pastes are, shall we say, varied. One scent, Viola, intended to be floral, drew a surprising comparison.
I don’t mean to be mean, it’s not a bad scent, but it kinda smells like diapers.
Early tester
The tester quickly clarified:
No, no, no, no, no, a clean diaper, let me clarify! A clean diaper is what it smells like, not a dirty diaper!
Early tester
It remains to be seen how the other scents will be received.
Scent in the System: Will it Linger?
A key question is whether the scent will permeate the PC case and the surrounding habitat after application. The intensity and longevity of the aroma are currently unknown.
I’d be willing to pay extra for comparable,or maybe even less performance,just to get this scent in my house.
