MEME: a-More-tentia

Amortentia was before my time and tbqh I am heartbroken that I missed it because I love talking about how my characters smell??? And since it happened a few months ago now and we've had plenty of ~character development~ in the intervening time, so maybe things have changed for one or more of your characters? This is a meme for revisiting the amortentia potion - what does your character smell when they get a whiff of it? What scents are associated with your character? And what does your character smell like, in general?

In the original amortentia lesson thread, Cheryl posted a handy link to help with inspiration: Fragrantica. Here's a template:

Name: Xavier "Taco" Lewis
What do they smell?
Xavier is hit with the smells of his favorite spices, first: fresh rosemary, fennel and ginger, cayenne and coriander and turmeric. As the smell gets earthier it gives way to freshly turned mossy dirt, mud and humid air. Algae. Maybe a little fishy, reminiscent of both the Ohio River in spring and the Ribbonfin campgrounds. From there, faintly, the hints of the senior Ribbonfins’ cabins, both boys and girls. Some of the scents specifically call up the memories of specific Ribbonfriends. And then, at the end, is that...feathers? bird dander???? Dude. Fucked up.
What smells are they associated with?
Unsurprisingly, Xavier smells a bit sweet, like hot sugar. There are spicy notes too - cinnamon, cardamom and clove. His shampoo is distinct and smells a bit like if smarties and the decorative soaps your grandma puts behind the terlet had a baby. Go ahead make fun of him but you can’t deny these locks are luscious. He kind of smells like a chai cinnamon bun in a candy store. But, like, in an inoffensive way.

	ROFL I think Xavier's problem is that he is a ~~confirmed furry~~ avian aficionado who smells swans in his amortentia. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
