Nope, what you and I remember was a wood pulp paper odor; actually it wasn't there every single time.....it depended on how the wind was blowing.

Some in TV have mentioned an odor of "sulphur".....which reminds me of the sulphur water they use on the east coast of Florida in the water sprinkler systems (underground sprinkler system) for residential homes.
