It um...i-it does kinda smell musty, but you rub it on your, um...fur? If you rub it on that, it'll repel water for the most part...at least for a few hours. But if we go diving, you'll need to hold your breath. Ehehe, most land-dwellers don't have gills like we merfolk do, after all!!
Oh, um...eh...just don't sniff the stuff after you pull the stopper. It's...r-really pungent. [Not bad, but...very oceanic and musky. Like low tide - salty, wet, muddy...not pleasant.]
