I'm sniffing some now!
There is a faint floral whiff.
There is also a slightly slimy, liquid residue on the bottom of the container.
I wouldn't be getting it anywhere near a telescope, but a litter-tray in the bottom of your storage area might be OK.
I find a combo of Silica gel, baking soda & generic kitty litter handles most things that don't require a de-humidifier.
If you're spending big $$$ on your gear why scrimp on dessicant?
