Phil grease is "waterproof", which means that the smell lasts on your hands for many washings. My oldest daughter's first impressions of her doting father undoubtedly included the slightly minty smell of Phil grease. Someday when she's being pursued by young men, they'd do well to dab some Phil behind their ears. By the time my next two kids were born, I ran out of Phil and started using Park grease, which if it has any discernible smell, it's a mild one.
