rancid fat, if a car battery could have fat

smells like licorice oil.

I got black licorice vibes from it. At least my guns don't reek of it, unlike how CLP was. My guns were all stinky when I used that stuff.

Good nose.

Black licorice. Anethole oils are derived from star anise, so it's roughly the same chemical compound. It smelled like rotten fungal ass until I realized what it really was. Not a fan of licorice but it's tolerable now.
