  PARIS, Feb 2 (AFP) - A bizarre fragrance that smells of
meteorites has been developed by British perfume experts, New
Scientist reports in Saturday's issue.
   The wacky odour, called Cyba, smells "sulphurous, smoky, like
gunpowder, metallic," according to its creator, Les Small, of Quest
International, a company owned by the chemicals giant ICI.
   The "futuristic, atmospheric" perfume -- devised to show that
the firm can emulate the smell of pretty much anything -- mimicks
the molecules given off by carbonaceous chondrite, the commonest
mineral found on meteorites.
