Of notebooks and cucumbers

This is something weird that I realized: for as long as I can remember, my chemistry laboratory notebook has always smelled like cucumbers.

I’m not sure why, but a Google search for “chemicals that smell like cucumbers kinda maybe told me why:

Morrison describes the smell of 2-nonenal as “pungent cucumbers.”

Apparently my chemistry lab notebook has old lady smell.
