It beats the scent of "must". ;-) I put a small bar of a lightly scented soap in the box for a few days, then remove it. I have sensitivities and so does friend and sis, w/friend's being very severe
-- I found something she can tolerate. Everything has a scent, it's not like the jewelry is slathered in it or you get a big waft that burns your (even my) allergic eyes. It's more like when you open the box you're not hit with the scent of "Gosh, where has she been storing this box? In the attic?" or worse, the smell of new plastic or toxic glue. LOL. It's the scent of vaccuuming your house once in awhile. ;-)
btw, are we talking about showing stuff to gallery & shop owners? I might have misunderstood...
