Smell based self defence (surströmming)

I've been thinking about using surströmming juices in a spray bottle for some key reasons

1) nothing prohibits it, its a literal food product

2) if someone were to be soaked with it, they would most likely start retching if not even vomiting, and try to get their clothes off

3) in contrast to pepper spray, it doesn't cause pain, which is often a reason perpetrators become even more enraged, disgust is much more disorienting when you want to cause harm, meanwhile pain/retaliation is expected and it fuels the adrenaline even more
