I checked the book links on my website to make sure I didn't miss fixing any.

Fact:

If you find a stinky scent is no longer giving the kick it used to, smell some fresh coffee grounds!

The scent resets the olfactory senses making almost every stench just as pungent as it was when you first huffed it! owo7
