Elf of the Sun
Inspired a bit by spartabitch's post the other day, but... What are my characters' scents?
Elf of the Sun
Kallian's is local flowers, from petals tucked among her clothes (lavender, Andraste’s Grace, roses, etc.), and medicinal herbs from her work. She also smells like healing magic, which is a bit minty.
Elf of the Sun
In Dark AU, she probably tends to smell more like hot copper and ozone, especially if she's been doing magic recently.
Elf of the Sun
Eligia's is warm, sensual, spices, complex... amber, sandalwood, jasmine, orange blossom, vanilla, ginger... and lies.
Elf of the Sun
Ingrid smells of lyrium and oil for her armor, tallow soap, a tiny hint of darkspawn taint, Chantry braziers and the long road. Dust and sand and a hint of despair from the Anderfels.
Elf of the Sun
Isabela smells of spices and rum, salt breezes and tar, and probably sex.
Elf of the Sun
Amroth smells of fresh-cut wood and forest lakes with the sun shining on them and cold rivers.
Elf of the Sun
Celebrian is warm hearths and wildflowers and fresh breezes and a little bit of the pages of antique books.
Elf of the Sun
(Add in a little bit of rot and despair and medicine after she's been injured but before reaching Valinor)
Elf of the Sun
Nerdanel's is hot metal and stone dust, sweet milk, wet clay.
Elf of the Sun
Also something pure and ancient and difficult to name.
Elf of the Sun
Varda's scent is ever shifting, but cold mountain air and pure burning fire both.
Elf of the Sun
Aphrodite's is cinnamon and balsam.
Elf of the Sun
Otherwise... hmm. Any particular requests?

I was reading a book about the various ways people have scienced or attempted to science sex. One of the ways attempted to quantify the smell of semen on the breath and claimed it varied hugely but was

especially pleasant if sourced from young men of a certain disposition, but the writer was highly skeptical of the whole endeavor. |D
andalite!
ah that writer is a lot of fun.
Elf of the Sun
Interesting.

she's so cynical about some of this stuff. XD

like there was this trendy operation going on, the idea that if you removed a testicle from a sheep and planted it in the sack of an old man the old guy would be more lively and vigorous because testosterone!
Elf of the Sun
....riiiiiiiight
andalite!
needless to say that was a terrible fucking idea and she relates it with the driest possible tone.
Elf of the Sun

the guy who invented it made money hand over fist for a while and claimed that it cured senility, poor eyesight, schizophrenia, and (of course) erectile dysfunction.
Elf of the Sun

vigorous young animal balls = the cure to all ills. he also implanted monkey ovaries into women but that... that didn't take off the same way.

Elf of the Sun
