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?

Anything else?

Name: Clementine!
What do they smell? Cold, crisp air. Dewy grass. New Quaffle Smell™. Broom polish. Grass clippings. Damp soil. Fresh baked cookies. Redwood bark. Silty river mud. Sawdust. And... Locker room? Is locker room a cool scent to associate with love?
What smells are they associated with? Clem works out a lot so you definitely might catch her smelling like sweat, but considering the constant unbrushed aesthetic of her hair she's actually pretty meticulous about her hygiene. She doesn't use fancy or fruity-smelling products though, and mostly smells like... Dove soap and coconut milk shampoo. Very exciting. She definitely uses like old spice deodorant because fuck smelling like a glitter peach. And arnica ointment, for bruises, which has a kind of sharp scene that's a little mentholy.
Anything else? Okay hers probably smelled like quidditch stuff even before she was into Sy but it's not her fault he's literally just quidditch personified
