TFS Q&A Session
Added 2024-01-12 13:30:01 +0000 UTCQuestion: "Are there specific scents all ROs prefer? Some people like the scent of mint, of vanilla, etc. Is there something specific that ROs enjoy? As in, what kind of cologne/perfume would they wear on themselves and would find attractive on MC?"
[Alternate Text: An image from White Basin, which is mentioned in B's answer. It shows a large table that is stacked with wrapped, specialty soap bars. There are rows of them with an unwrapped bar in front to show off the inlaid design and vibrant colors. There is a white horse running on grass against a blue backdrop, there is a series of strawberry ice cream cones on a cream colored bar, there is a bar that looks like a cross-section of a watermelon, and more!]
Answer:
Oh, I love the timing of this question! π₯° Within some of the RO excursions, the Returning Visitor can learn more about the preferred fragrances of the characters. I do tend to associate a specific scent with them or a general mood/tone of what they might wish to wear. Let's see:

Slotting this info into my mind when I try to picture the ROs now.

2024-02-02 04:41:26 +0000 UTCI'm ecstatic that two of your beloved scents happen to correspond to your most beloved J. ππ Something that you might have an inkling about is: J would be more likely to use it when seeing Everly. This would count as a 'special occasion' to them even if the two of them naturally cross paths. Earlier in romance, I could see the earl grey soap having a dual meaning because it would give them a bit of a boost/comfort since it comes from A while they're also trying to be extra appealing to Everly. I have a lot of thoughts/feelings on this, tbh. XD Soft J, my heart.

2024-01-19 00:11:28 +0000 UTCIt's my pleasure! Thank you for asking it, and I believe it helped to add an extra dimension to the ROs, a certain tangibleness that might make them more cuddle-worthy. π I'm happy that J's answer and view of scents melted your heart. J is very sentimental, often thinking of others and then those thoughts can help to re-color something as simple as a whiff of a particular perfume. Zarina taking pride in how much Bee loves her gift is precious! I adore how soft she can be for them. π₯Ίπ§‘

2024-01-19 00:04:24 +0000 UTCIt would be a medley of different, enticing scents! ππ

2024-01-18 23:56:20 +0000 UTCOoh, I like how this sparked some additions! ππ

2024-01-18 23:55:35 +0000 UTCYes! Also, yay, because I was wondering about including 'petrichor' since it is such a distinct vibe instead of something more run-of-the-mill. It fits J well! π§ It's beautiful when certain scents can remind us of fond past memories; I like how lavender is soothing. Thank you! I'm glad that the scent combinations for each come across vividly. π₯°

2024-01-18 23:55:11 +0000 UTCI can relate! βππ§Ύ I have these somewhere to make sure I eventually ~reveal~ them and work them in at times.

2024-01-18 23:50:59 +0000 UTCI absolutely love a cedar or pine scent. Also bergamot, so J, I beg of you to use that earl grey soap!

2024-01-12 23:58:59 +0000 UTC(Dancing around because thank you for answering this question!!) As someone who loves those specific details in characters and who writes this out especially in times of intimacy, it was so fun to learn each ROs preference. Because it makes me think about cuddles, about moments of sensual intimacy, noting on what can be fun gifts or what would MC smell because hey why not if they find what ROs like. I personally think that smell as a sense is one of the strongest ones for myself because it awakens my memories the best. Which is why J's scents that are connected to memories? Melted my heart. Also. That Coconut Bliss. Truly, what a bliss for Zarina. Lbr if Bee uses it and likes it? Her pride is Olympus high and no one can bring her down.

2024-01-12 14:47:44 +0000 UTCYou had me at 'petrichor', my absolute favourite scent. Woodsmoke is also lovely when not too strong as to be overpowering, and I find for floral scents, jasmine is the one I enjoy most, warm and subtle. Lavender reminds me of my late grandmother, it has a lot of nice memories associated with it π This was a wonderful question, the scent combinations for each are really vivid!
