Default The smell or scent of the nitro. What brand do you like?

Ok I searched and found nothing related to this. I am a very long time 2 stroke racer of motorcycles and still snowmobiles. The differences in the smell is distinctive and many can name the brand by the smell. I'm new to nitro and curious if its the same with the blended fuel/oils of the nitro world? I am using O'Donnell now and its the only one I have ever used and realized tonight I really stink, (in a good way) and if there is a less smelly or better smell in a good quality fuel I might give it a try. Sorry for the novel and thanks for any input.

Everything but O'Donnel. That stuff kills me. You could plumb any exhaust to a gas mask and I would be fine. O would put me on the floor in a second

Parma pse makes scents you can use in it. probably a basher kind of thing. I like to put my buggy in the truck on the way home so i can smell it. (the lingering scent, not letting it run)

Werks has a very distinct smell, easy to tell what car is running it on the track.

If Odonnell still made the fuel and it was the same this is all I would use. It may not smell the best but it flat out worked awesome. The smell never bothered me. Getting it in the eyes not so much fun. Loved the fuel.

Friends are running VP this year after running Byron the year before and we are all going back to Byron. I just think that Byron has one if not the best fuel. Werks I know has a great reputation so I could see using it if we could get it at the right price. Which with Byron we can.

I found Werks to have a very subtle scent; not as noticeable as the others. I find Byron's or Werks smell the best, but I like the "sweet" scent from Byron's. VP just smelt like very pungent alcohol, made my eyes water.

Best smelling nitro combination is by FAR Byrons Worlds Blend with 1.5 oz of Klotz Benol added. Nothing like the trademark Klotz aroma in the pits.
