On one of the recordings, a tiktoker asked by a viewer about the smell, decided to answer. “It’s the smell of calamus, decaying tissue, liver-like. This may come as a shock, but sometimes it smells a bit like stale chicken in the fridge. I also smelled this smell when I worked in the intensive care unit for a premature baby.
