At my job there this almond flavored coffee pods that when brewed smelled overwhelmingly almond-y. My cousin works in metal reclamation an they work with a LOT of cyanide, I tell him if he ever wants the day off, I'll get him a pod, all he needs to do is spill that coffee and they'd shut down the entire floor to double check things.

(context if you're lost is that cyanide smells a lot like almonds)

Nile has basically killed his sense of smell from years of smelling chemicals he's made. Don't trust his nose for anything lol

There's a reason the life expectancy of chemists is roughly 10 years less than the rest of humanity. It does get skewed by all the people who did moronic stuff like cleaning tables with benzene, but that's not the only reason.
