Very distinct smell. Reminds me of childhood and my Nani. She always used it :-).<br/>Other examples like Iodex, Moov & Margo soap are of course there...

Anytime we had a minor injury, mom used to apply it. The best part about it was its bright red colour which would stain your skin for days. Going to school the next day was always an event as everyone would gather around to see your injury, thanks to the very eye-catching red colour. But besides its appearance, the medicine also had a very distinct smell. Mercurochrome medicine – very popular in Mumbai in 1980s and early 90s. Anytime we had a minor injury, mom used to apply it.
