Does anyone know if Nash Scopex No 1 is the same as the original.
Thanks.
Thanks.
Gary Bayes probably does, or his young apprentice Max Hendry.

The only other living person might be John Baker, I believe he was involved in Rod Hutchinson's early sourcing and experiments with the ScopeX.

I bought some after hearing his podcast. It smells similar, but not the same as the original imo.

Toppex is nothing like the original Scopex. It's very strong.

JB also mentioned in one of his podcasts that topper isn't the original scopex. He promised RH never to sell the original recipe

No, I'm pretty sure he said Toppex was the original Scopex, but he had not made people aware of it whilst Rod was alive.....either way, it doesn't smell exactly the same to me.

Wasn't there an ingredient that was banned so they had to alter the formula.
Diacetyl...

Correct, it caused a condition known as 'popcorn lung'.

How much would this cost with a carp label?

This is what he said word by word:
Some of these early flavours came from a wonderful old-fashioned company called Perlarom, who were based in Croydon. Interestingly, the company — sadly no longer in business — also helped me develop a flavour called Scopex, for Rod Hutchinson. I promised Rod that I would never sell the recipe commercially during his lifetime, and although it has been copied by many different bait companies throughout Europe, I can guarantee that none are the same as my original version. My conscience is clear, and I now make my own version. Out of respect for Rod,
