<p>[QUOTE="Lucille.b, post: 1564814, member: 51"]I hate to be discouraging (and do try the excellent suggestions above) but have a similar experience. I purchased a Heritage side cabinet 18 years ago, when I got it home realized it had sort of a sweet perfume like smell inside. (I am very sensitive to anything scented). I left doors open, figured with time it would dissipate, and the small cabinet was just for music books, wasn't for clothing. Wound up keeping it, you only notice the perfume when you open the doors, which isn't all that often.</p><p><br /></p><p>Bad news, it smells exactly the same 18 years later. Of course I didn't try the suggestions above, but would have thought with time it would improve but it really didn't. Just love the look of it, and so have kept it all these years, but when perfume seeps into wood it is hard to get rid of.</p><p><br /></p><p>Maybe one of the above suggestions will work and be sure to report back if you have success. Wishing you the best of luck.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
