We didn't know what it was, many today still don't, but it was the smell of life ending. It was an attempt by them, to hide the obvious, to try and hold back the tell tale signs of life drawing to an end. An old person smell, is one of vanity perhaps, but maybe too, it is one of trying to hold off the constant reminder, that life is coming to an end. That what once was, will no longer be. That those days of self reliance, of being independant, are slowly fading away.
