User blog:Taleart/Perfumes, Stories and OCs

It’s difficult to bring across the smell of fragrances through media, so perfumes are often described with flowery, descriptive language to paint a picture of the mood the scent brings (this is an interesting article). Often times, this description can parallel the OC-creating process as the stories/descriptions are very vivid.

For example, the perfume Geranium Pour Monsieur by Dominique Ropion has a very strong Mood:

Artistic flamboyance.

''Like the eccentric Englishman in a blue velvet jacket, pink striped shirt and a cashmere-print pocket square, this perfume is an extravagant unravelling of colors and textures. A cool whiff of mint and aniseed, imbued with Chinese geranium, spills over into nuances of clove, sandalwood, benzoin and frankincense.''

A color palette for the bright and bold.

So, I have a question. Which perfume has a story that describes your character, or gives a Mood that suits your character? Alternatively, what does your character smell like!
