Do You Like The Scent Of Moth Balls?

Question

I once had a roommate that had an weird obsession with moth balls. She would go through an entire box in a week's time and then she would turn manic when there were none left. I asked her If there was an odor, but she said she just had a thing for mothballs and to stop psychoanalyzing her.

Do you like the scent of mothballs?
Do you think she was weird or maybe huffing?

Answer 1

I've never have been able to get their little legs apart.

Answer 2

are you sure the smell isn't the cedar itself? ok, so it's the moth ball scent. All of those old cedar chests smell like that, and for good purpose (so to answer your question, there is no way to remove the smell), that cedar and moth balls chase away bugs (critters like cockroaches, spiders, etc.). You're supposed to put your "fine" heirloom items in there (silks, laces, etc.), things that need preserving, private papers (cause there usually is a hidden drawer, and papers over a long time can get eaten by bugs) and sometimes firearms. We used to be proud of that fragrance because it meant you owned something special.
