Not in the smell department, but I've worked IT with several guys over the years who'd been stationed at Aldrich Chemical by their various firms.
They had a lot of stories.
One guy who'd come from Aldrich, the first week at my jobsite, we were walking down the hall to check on something at St. Luke's Aurora, the floor was freshly polished and kind of sticky in the clean sense of the word, and suddenly there was this squish noise, and he stumbled.
Both of his shoe soles had peeled off, and stuck to the floor.
He wasn't that surprised, but said he thought the shoes had another month left in them.
