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: Ivy Templeton!

What do they smell?
Ivy's smells are organized roughly by boldest to mellowest: Turpentine. The thick campfire smoke you get when you burn wet wood. Rubber cement and magazines. Oil paint. Rubber and canvas - like a brand new pair of sneakers. An empty inkwell before you clean it. Brand new textbooks, but also really old books. Cotton candy and powdered sugar. Ocean air. A bathroom after you've spent an hour getting ready - hairspray and makeup and soap. The laundry detergent her mother uses.

What smells are they associated with?
Her perfume is warm and earthy; sandalwood, patchouli and amber. Her shampoo smells clean and crisp, like lemongrass and cucumber. The paint and chemical smells from the aesthetics classroom sometimes stick to her clothes. And she always has hand sanitizer with her - a little sweeter and softer than rubbing alcohol.
