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:

What do they smell? Grass and falling autumn leaves, the musty old book smell of the library, curry spice, the Ribbonfin stream during the warmest days of spring, campfire smoke, and Diego's bay rum aftershave and cedar cologne. Except for the curry spice (from home, obviously), most of Ravi's smells are associated with Gooseberry. He's going to miss this place a lot when he graduates. :(

What smells are they associated with? Most strongly is the copious hair potion he uses (which mostly has a smoky vanilla scent), but also the lanolin smell of expensive wool, old books (paper and leather bindings and dust), and just a little bit of horse sweat and mint. Since Christmas, he's been wearing the cologne which Rafael gave him.

Anything else? Almost exactly the same as October except now smelling Diego's aftershave in his Amortentia isn't so embarrassing to him. It's still kind of embarrassing. BUT I'M REPOSTING THIS ANYWAY FOR FUN
