It’s commonly used by individuals who are new to crime scenes or have never encountered active crime scenes where the corpse smells are very prevalent.
A dab under the nose, it’s so minty strong that your mind can’t smell any other scent.
I always thought they were dabbing smelling salts or at least something like Vicks vapor rub.
Yeah, Vick's is probably what they were actually thinking of. Vaseline is unscented. Wouldn't be very helpful.
No problem at all. If you’ve managed to avoid the smell and need to learn this trick, consider yourself fortunate, lol.
You sure you're not thinking of peppermint oil? I've heard of it being used inside surgical masks in hospitals
