I ordered Scent - Sadistic Intent from OMM last year and the packaging was pretty foul. I didn't notice at first and left the packaging on the countertop in the room I was sitting in when it arrived and the whole room needed aired out after an hour or so. Nasty, but somehow entirely appropriate.

What did it smell like? Puke? Poop?

Nothing to add, just want to make sure to register an entry in the scent of packages thread.

Hard to describe! It just smelled like everything was going off. Not like off meat, or puke or anything, just a really strong musty / musky smell. Like the packaging itself had curdled! Not noticeable at first, but the air was thick with a very off smell after an hour or so. Not something I want to repeat!

I'd been warned about the OMM smell before I ordered it, and it lived up to all expectations!

The Void Of Empathy - A Precursor For Interpersonal Violence tape box orginally was suppose to include a blood drenched rabbits foot in ziplock in box with every copy and most of them had to be thrown out as then the mold had crept in so badly. The wooden boxes became very putrid smelling very fast, even after disposing the ziplocks the boxes still have a mold tinged linger from when those were stupidly put together, should have let them soak and dry and then later put them in bags, not while still dripping of blood. I had assembled them before the tapes had arrived, trying to be proactive. Oh well sooner or later they'd of probably gotten thrown in the garbage by just about anyone who picked one up I'd imagine.

Moore claims that his friend and Time Bomb Records proprietor, Kenji Kodama, can accurately guess a record's country of origin by smell. During the annual WFMU Record Fair in Manhattan, N.Y., Kodama made his powers known. Moore and his assembly of record geeks tested him. "Sure enough," he was right every time," he said.

I totally get what you mean! There's something nostalgic about that musty smell. I once ordered a vinyl from a thrift shop in France, and it arrived smelling like old books and a hint of vintage perfume. It felt like I was unboxing a little piece of history, which made listening to it so much cooler.

My copy of BLOD "My beloved daughters" still smells like strawberries

Sometimes the musty smell of packages makes me have to poop ala the Mariko Aoki phenomenon.
