wintergreen oil, it's better on that count (pretty much odorless, at least as
compared to wintergreen)
So, do you gag when you smell wintergreen? I do. And if I've eaten
recently....

My mother had to switch to Juicy Fruit after I was born.

I like the smell well enough, when brief or not too strong, or even strong as a
flavor, such as in Altoids mints. Unfortunately, keeping a little tin of the
"oil" open on my bench, such as I might do when using it as a lube for drills
or gravers, tends to give me an unpleasant headache. Easiest solution is to
simply use other lubes.

Wintergreen oil is not for wimps!?!
