It has a pleasant, showery smell. It’s not offensive and it’s not overpowering. It’s a light scent.

Lot’s of commercial potential for this product…just think of the advertising tag lines…
“MCUA…it can even make New Jersey smell good!”
“MCUA…strong enough for New Jersey…but gentle enough for the rest of America.”
Ad music will have the YMCA song (Village People) reworked with MCUA landfill employees dancing to the beat…
“MCUA…it’s great to spray wit that MCUA…you can get yourself clean, you can smell really great….MCUA…”
LOL! That’s brilliant!
Excellent!
Maybe they will make a commercial variation on this that I can keep on continuous spray near cat boxes?
Seriously, I love that our modern solution to waste management is to return to 17th century europe and just put some more perfume over our foul smells.
You need one of those L’Artisan or Frederic Malle diffuser machines 🙂
Middlesex County native… representing!!
Somehow, I still grew up with an appreciation of fine fragrance and other interesting smells, right?
Did it smell bad when you lived there J?
Actually, it smelled just fine! Much like any other suburb. I don’t even know where that landfill is, but I’m guessing it’s not right next to the residential areas of East Brunswick. Poor New Jersey… always the brunt of jokes! 😉
Thank you, Jessica–we Jersey Girls have to stick up for our scented selves…..Most of Jersey smells just fine…spent the weekend in a vineyard in the rain—heavenly smells all around. But of couse that was Hunterdon County, not Middlesex!!
I forgot to point out…Middlesex makes it perfectly suited to men and women!
Haha – v. clever!
