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? In the amortentia potion?
What smells are they associated with?
Anything else?

Name: Micah St. Clair

What do they smell? fresh paper in a brand new notebook, the particular scent of 16mm film stock, the heat smell of a running film projector which then turns into the heat smell of a running motorcycle, the lingering gasoline in a makeshift garage, the Nevada desert at night, and what is strongly and distinctly his brother's favourite leather jacket (which currently sits untouched on the bottom of Micah's trunk).

What smells are they associated with? boy sweat barely masked by cheap deodorant (the only scented product he bothers to use), notebook paper and quill ink, old film stock, and grease from the wizard cameras he tinkers on in Artificing.

Anything else? Same as October, but his "crush" smells have shifted to a wider range of people. Some perfume, some cologne, some random lotion. No one Micah's crushing on particularly stands out, especially compared to all the smells he associates with his brother. THIS KIND OF BOTHERS HIM.
