The smell you have could be from two sources....

First... the wood itself. Do you see any sap weeping from the wood ?... That could be the sweet smell you are getting.

My bet would be #2.... that crap, PG solution. All that shit is, is anti-freeze. You are on the right track. Empty the humidor, let it air out for a week or 2. and then close it overnight. See if the smell is still there. If it is I would see if you could send it back. If not.... throw that crap PG solution away and use the beads....
