> When Pishos smelled an almond-like scent, Donoghue asked the county's chief toxicologist, Michael Schaffer, to test the capsules, and Schaffer's team determined that four of the 44 remaining capsules from the Janus' bottle contained nearly three times the fatal amount of cyanide

(From the wiki page)

This is super interesting, because there was a NileRed video testing this and finding that cyanide doesn't really smell like almonds at all (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WYagO-nup6c).
