Formaldehyde gas is usually dissolved in water, where it's called formalin. It's pungent with an unpleasant odor. You'd have to just smell it -- there isn't an easy way to describe an odor in words. more

It smells like time has stopped, as if nature herself is being denied... It smells like how one would imagine Frankenstein's creation to smell, it's a low musky invasive smell, which leaves you feeling sullied and sick. You have only to take a wiff to understand and to know... and that wiff with haunt you for the rest of your years. *shudder* I still loved cutting open the cat though. more
