scent (sumeru)

Alhaitham

straight up cologne.  musky af

He probably smells like books, the dusty smell of it

Candace

Desert sand mixed with blueberry perfume. Or whatever plant perfume they make in Sumeru. It's very light and nice.

It's either you're in trouble or she is worried for you. So whenever you sense her presence, you don't know whether to be scared or relieved.

Collei

Wood (trees since she sometimes spends time in its hollow)

Usually normal body scent

ah yes, c a u l i f l o w e r s /j

I guess.. sweat, since her job is a Forest Ranger, so she has to be active a lot.

plants. literally plants.

Cyno

normal body scent

his hat

sweat

m u s k

desert sand

It's not horrible.  bet he wears deodorant lmao

Dehya

Considering she wears makeup, she probably does some nice hair treatment. (off topic, but her hair looks like it would constantly be silky.)

No matter what she does, she always smells nice somehow.

Perhaps mix that in with a subtle smell of sand from the desert.

The scent is relieving. Also since you know she's there for u :)

She'll come back from a fight and you're just wondering how tf she smells so nice

Due to the business she involves herself in, sometimes she'll smell slightly musky.

Dori

M O R A

/hj

She looks like she smells like cotton candy

Trying to scam U

Drugs

Suspicious products

That slime/bean bag thing she sits on in her idle animation.. whatever that smells like.

Questionable fragrance. She probably gambled for that. It's probably not even perfume, but it's cologne. how did that happen?

Faruzan

Some sort of floral perfume

Ancient perfume that was hot back in her day

Minty sweet

Very very very very very very very very outdated perfume in general. She found it in her possession and decided to use it

She gotta smell nice for her presentations.

Something clipped and professional.

It's pretty strong. She's trying to give a good impression, yk?

Kaveh

His cologne is nice.  It's also distinctive, so you instantly know who it is.

man a bunch of Sumeru charas be smelling like straight up plants

do you think it would be funny that he's using perfume, but he doesn't know it's not cologne and Alhaitham is just patiently waiting for him to realize

Layla

Paper

N  Y Q U I L L (inspired by Koomaxx)

Normal scent

She's constantly tired and avoiding people so you don't really know what she smells like

Blueberries and mint. That's what her shield smells like, so she does too.

She lights a candle in her room and lets it run for the entire night. It sends fragrance everywhere, so it gets into her hair.

Nilou

A lotus flower?

Something reassuring, like warm tea

Apparently she likes eating sweets so she probably smells sweet too

Somehow she spent an entire evening dancing and she still smells nice.

(a head cannon that isn't based off of canon lore: An ocean breeze. But, it's like the candle ocean breeze scented ones that make it smell sweet)

Nahida

Plants

Nature

Flowers

But, it's obviously natural. She fell asleep in a meadow of plants.

Tighnari

I guess.. the forest, flowers

The second you smell it, you know who's coming.

Sometimes it's a blessing, sometimes it's a curse.

Wanderer

herbs..?

Nature?

Nothing.  He is a mere puppet.

or he smells like metal and rotting wood lol
