If you really like the smell of flashbulbs, I currently have on auction
(on 
a well-known website) a device made by Konica. It mounts in a hot shoe,
has 
a 22.5 volt battery, and holds a flashcube. I wonder if this device ever 
really sold in any quantity. Were flashcubes more economical than AG-1 
bulbs? Obviously they were more convenient, but the AG-1 efficiency surely

could have been better (depending on the flashgun) whereas the flashcube
had 
such a small reflector.

As for nostalgic smells, personally, RA-4 chemistry does it for me. That's

why I built the bedroom directly above the darkroom!
