ORIGINAL: kiwisub12 How do you know what stale feces tastes like? Because feces tastes pretty similar to what it smells like. It's those molecules known as skatoles that give feces its distinctive odor. Leave it out a bit, and you'll end up with putrescine in there, as well. I would imagine that the putrescine is responsible for why it's often compared to rotten socks. If you leave a rotten sock in water, however, it takes on a different smell. The combination seems pretty close to my recollection of valerian. As an alternative, fresh feces in a rotten sock would probably come pretty close, too. I find the fecal aspect of the odor more pungent than the rotten sock aspect, but noses vary (and the bulk of taste is actually a form of olfaction), as do herbal products. Regardless, cats and rats love it. IWYW, — Aswad.
