Gonna have to find on for my truck.

The smell I wish I could smell again is the powder smell from 22LR from the 70's. Olin I think.
Ed's Red in the shop is real nice.
Always liked the smell across the firing line during rapid fire.
The smell when you open the gun safe, like you're in good company.

Think you can, or think you can't. Either way your right.
Many of my favorites are taken. How about a freshly sanded stock during a restoration.

I do have to agree with paper shotshells.
3-in-1 oil. Dad used it on all his guns, and his gun closet always smelled like it. That smell said hunting for me and my brother. I still use 3-in-1 on his Western Field 12 ga.
Hoppes #9 is a old stand by it scent hasnt changed since I can remember. Melted cosmoline ( means another set of gages are done at work and ready for the next Job also) Leather with a light coat of minks oil worked into it, A fresh walnut stock, Beeswax, rig grease, The scent of a early spring morning, All of these scents bring back many memories. The scent I miss the most is the essence of my wifes Hair.
Mine used to be #9 as well, it's what I grew up with and used exclusively as an adult. Then I bought a used CZ858 and when it arrived it smelled good enough to eat! I emailed the seller and found out it was G96. Now I use it too! My new favorite smell!
I think mine is a combination of gun oil and gun powder. My favorite smell is when I pop open a freshly fired double barreled shotgun. No other gun smells as sweet. I imagine heaven will smell just like that.
G-96 gun treatment! Smells like a gun show!! Or back in the day , there was a guy that did all the gun shows and then it smelled of colt pistols and good cigars. Almost forgot, The smell of my favorite trap gun being opened and the fine smell of clays powder on a humid summer morn.And one thing that all you in the US probably can't relate to , old high brass Imperial shotshells early in the day from a goose blind ! They had a sweet smell all their own.

Burned gun powder on a misty morning, and hopes #9
Hoppes #9 and that smell you get from a blackpowder cartridge gun, stinky but still brings a smile to my face.
IMR 4350 and TAC1. I don't know why I like 4350 but TAC1 smells like honey!
I pity the baker,
I pity the nun
I pity the one
Who tries to take my gun
Yes................When in my loading room, I would pop the cap off a tube of Cred and just take a big whiff. I don't know what is in it, but I like it. I bought some one pound bricks of Cred, but they don't have as strong of a smell. Cred makes the boolits look purdy and smell purdy
Burnt nitrocellulose, and Eezox!

#9 and Alox but Sat I got all teary eyed. After shooting with wife and daughter, the daughter (40) stuck her nose in the pile of empty brass and said to me "is this sick........that smells soooo good." She still knows how to get to dad.

Just-fired Fiocchi pheasant loads, bird dogs in gamma grass, George Dickel on the rocks, and pheasant stew. In that order.
The smell of gun powder either burned or fresh opened can
You are a lucky man.#9 and Alox but Sat I got all teary eyed. After shooting with wife and daughter, the daughter (40) stuck her nose in the pile of empty brass and said to me "is this sick........that smells soooo good." She still knows how to get to dad.
For me it is #9 and paper shotshells and the smell of the old oil fired cookstove in the duck shack we had when I was a kid.
