Stella Posted August 4, 2013 Report Share Posted August 4, 2013 Smells way better than nets the day after you have handled ells! Urgh. I always think kokopu have a lovely earthy smell, but it is something I never think to sniff at t he time, only realise it later. Anyone else noticed a kokopu smell?
