Is *that* what it smells of?
I thought it was pyrethrum, which is sort of flowery but not really
chrysanthemums.
It is pyrethrin, which is either extracted from crushed chrysanthemums
(Kenya grows thousands of tonnes per year) or industrially synthesised.

Personally I find it a bit sickly sweet, so only really annoying flies
get blasted with it.
