I was at the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society Light the Night walk in Central Islip tonight, and noticed a sweet smell in the air - kind of like a flowery fabric softener. My mom noted that she had smelled it this afternoon on Islip's Main Street as well, and caught a whiff elsewhere over the past few days. It was quite noticeable. Wasn't our clothes, as we use non-scented detergent, or someone's perfume.

Has anyone else smelled it? Wonder if it's similar to this: Mystery maple syrup-like smell in tristate region - New York News

Could it be from the stink bugs? I know they give off a smell, kind of musty supposedly? And since we have so many this season, could it be that?

it's the stink from yet another SCPD scandal. Looks like it will be around for a while.

It's probably just witches in suffolk county, ny preparing their candy to lure children in to make stew.

The government is using pleasant smelling chemicals to get us to embrace Obamacare and our Dear Leader. Run! Get the tinfoil hats and nose plugs!

LOL that's funny. I smelled a similar scent Yesterday and found out it was the sweet potato fries and maple mayo coming from poppy's luncheonette in Islip. I work at the Subway on Main street and all I could smell was sweet potatoes.
