Problem for me is that I went to the large Science Museum in Paris at an impressionable age and there was an Odor-torium, or similarly named, exhibit which matched images on a small cinema screen with puffs of scents and aromas, perhaps from canisters. The most disagreeable example - the one that would clear out the room - was a nature show where you wound up visiting a fox’s den. Bleaurgh!!! One of the constituent component smells of that noxious lair must be released during photocopying, I couldn’t be near a photocopier in action for years without feeling nauseous.
Hmm, interesting. I can only recall more of an inky smell, at least that's what I the smell was.
But this reminds me as a kid, when we'd get those blue ditto sheets (prior to mainstream photocopiers) and we'd take massive whiffs while they were still damp.
