Terpene

Since the name "Turpentine" already indicates what the scent is supposed to smell like, there isn't much to say about it.
It is definitely nothing more than a smell. I own an allegedly odorless turpentine for oil painting. It has about the same scent. It is bearable. However, turpentine is a resin oil from pine trees, so it is a terpene. "Turpentine" does not smell like that. It smells more like turpentine oil. That is a distilled extract from turpentine resin. And indeed, there is a hint of nitro thinner in the scent of "Turpentine" as well.
For me, this slightly altered turpentine oil smell lasts about 2 hours and then, oh wonder, "Turpentine" transforms into an Ambroxan scent with a hint of resin smell. It smells a bit like "Not a Perfume," just with an additional terpenic note.
"Turpentine" cannot be worn as a fragrance. Perhaps only for Carnival if you are dressed as a carpenter?

If you hadn't mentioned "Not a Perfume," I would be wrinkling my nose again, but now... it's worth a try.
