Pretty good nose, can't believe you missed the coconut finish:

Coating compositions based on ethylene vinyl acetate polymers have improved compatibility with solvents (especially with aliphatic hydrocarbon solvents) hydrocarbon oils, and mineral waxes by blending the EVA with a fatty acid and heating at or above the melting point of the EVA. Furthermore the resultant blends are much more easily emulsified in the presence of cations than blends which have not been processed with the fatty acids. Typically the starting material for the improved product of this invention is a composition comprising a blend of an EVA polymer and a fatty acid which is miscible in all proportions with mineral spirits at 25 DEG C or forms a solution at a level 5 % of fatty acid in mineral spirits, such as coconut or palm fatty acids. Also disclosed is that the addition of a salt of an amine acetic acid in sufficient quantity to an acidified salt of zirconium (for example EDTA and zirconium acetate) forms a novel emulsifying agent, and this emulsifying system is used advantageously with the described EVA/fatty acid blends.

Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

On the Nikwax front heard recently that there is some silicone containing fabric conditioner that is a) lots cheaper and b) performs almost as well as Nikwax wash-in. Anyone know about this?

You'll need to Register first of course.

fatbob, fabric conditioners have had silicones in them for years now. I just used an ultra-concentrate on my Camelbak to get the straps nice and soft and chafe-free. Were you thinking of fluoros like 303?

Comprex, Thanks for the Nik(Nikwax) extract. I've read it 3 times now and wouldn't fancy having to explain it to anyone else. Must confess I missed the smell of coconut though.
