I think it's straight up piss. Like urinal-spillage-at-the-stadium-in-the-ninth-inning-stench piss. Unfortunately, my husband loves them.

They only smell good if there's only one of them, and you keep it in the attic so that you only get the slightest whiff. I once went to a January funeral and I SWEAR everyone had sent paperwhites.
