Gun Oil Scent?

[Zig the Pirate]

Once upon a time, I had an EDT that smelled a lot like Hoppe's #9. The bottle even looked similar. Does anybody know what this was called, and if there's a scent similar?

Oil or solvent?

 

[Zig the Pirate]

Oil.

Not sure what Hoppes smells like but I love the scent of this stuff.

 

[Zig the Pirate]

Wow, it's actually made by Hoppe's. That's not what I had, but it might be on my 'tax refund time' list.

 

[stone and strop]

Its a really pleasant scent.
Didn't even realize it was made by Hoppes.

Hoppes #9 gun oil has no smell, I use it regularly. I just went and smelled it. The Hoppes solvent does have that classic Hoppes odor. I love the smell to.

Chiseled Face Midnight Stag sounds similar to what you're thinking of.

I made aftershave out of witch hazel and Ballistol once ... It does cure cuts.

I could swear it has a smell. Maybe I'm thinking of another gun lubricant.
Now the solvent... oh yeah, that's nice.

What about Grey Flannel by Geoffrey Beene? Top note is similar to #9, at least I think so.

Makes me wish there was a soap that smelled of gunpowder... This thread smells interesting

Mod Cabin makes Gunbarrel beard oil. It isn't quite Hoppe's, but it's pretty good.
