Question Eight
question eight
What does Amortentia (love potion) smell like to your character?
Is their amortentia scent connected to a powerful memory or perhaps even a special someone. Is there some deep-rooted childhood memory lurking in there or is it just a really nice smell?

 PETRICHOR, BONFIRE, SCOTCH, COLOGNE
The smell of rain mingling with earth after a long dry spell sets Helley's mind at ease. She takes a deep breath and it calms and sooths her to the soul. She has no reasoning for this reaction, it just feels as though the rain always knows when it is needed and it's a reminded to herself to take a deep breath and breathe again.
Burning wood is just intoxicating. It has the opposite effect of petrichor and it gives Helley an energetic boost, it throws her mind into all sorts of creative - and usually reckless - ideas. It pushes her onward no matter where her train of thought is at - although usually that's not a good idea.
Being a strong scent, the bonfire nearly drowns out the smell of the other components to Helley's Amortentia experience and this one is no exception. It's the last smell she can recognise in the medley and she's not sure why it's in there. Scotch is her go to drink for all occasions, there's no particularly fond memory tied to it, so why is it there? Why indeed ... hmmm.
Someone's cologne or aftershave or whatever. Yeah, we're not getting into that. *ahem*

 DISINFECTANT, PINE TREES, BEACH
The smell of something being so clean nothing can survive on it is soothing and satisfying.
Trist has always been a big, huge fan of Christmas time, and nothing signalled Christmas more than the fresh pine trees being bought inside to be decorated. He spent many a time a happy lad beneath the needles of a pine tree. He used to rub his hands on the trees whenever he'd walk by one and the hold his hand to his face and enjoy that pine fresh smell.
Gentle summer breeze, blazing sunshine, the sound of waves caressing the shore gently. Trist loves the beach, any beach as long as it's a sandy one, and he'll happily lay back, soaking up the sun, inhaling that fresh, sea air, trying to avoid kites.

 THUNDERSTORMS, HAY, ROSES
When the weather changes suddenly and there's a drop in the air pressure the smell of an impending thunderstorm excites Lilith. She always wants to hop on her broom, enjoy the last of the warmer weather, and ride into the rain. She's narrowly avoided bolts of lighting before - it's a total thrill.
Times spent with her horse were some of her fondest memories. Lilith loves to ride and she used to take care of a lot of her horses needs herself. Naturally she had someone to much out the stable before each visit she made, but she would lay down fresh hay for her horse and now the smell o hay always reminds her of her late Phantom.
Lilith loves romance. Traditional and corny is the way to her heart, and nothing screams traditional and romance like red roses.

 MARINARA, FRUIT, COTTON SHEETS
Clara, Ava's deceased best friend, used to cook the most incredible meatballs and the smell of her marinara sauce used to fill the entire mansion she owned. Every room would smell delectable and delicious.
Looking after a lot of magical animals is pretty much a full time job in of itself, and some of them require fresh fruit and Ava can't help but have a little nibble herself. She went a long time without knowing where her next meal would come from and fruit was one of the more common food items handed out to her when she was on the streets. She savoured it as much as possible.
Freshly laundered, fresh cotton sheets are the epitome of comfort and security to Ava. She loves climbing into a freshly laundered bed that smells like a breath of fresh, cottony air.

 DIRT, PERFUME, PLAYDOUGH
Jaspy loves a little potter around the garden, especially in the spring time, and he loves the smell of mixing in fresh dirt to give all the little planties a little fresh din-dins.
Emmy's perfume is obvious, right? Well Jaspy wouldn't say so. He knows as soon as he smells Amortentia that he can smell Emmy's perfume, he sees her in his mind the moment his memory is triggered by that smell, but it's just because he likes the smell of the perfume ... a lot! It's nothing to do with Emmy. Not at all. Not even a little! Just get off his back, wouldja!
Playdough is just the best. Jaspy loves using his hands to create and playdough is something he can do with his nieces and nephew. He's so family orientated and bonding with his little beasties is such a genuine joy for Jaspy.

 BLOOD, FRESHLY BAKED BREAD
Naturally, human blood is the main smell that appeals to Eve. The rush and the thrill and the longing for it takes over her whole being if she's not careful enough so it only makes sense that it's the most noticeable scent when she smells amortenia.
Eve's family owned a bakery back when she was mortal and the smell of fresh bread and pastries has always been her favourite smell, only now it brings its own heartaches and longing and reminder that her loved ones are long gone but not only that - the fact that she can't actually really remember any of them.

 NEW PAINT, LILACS, WOOD
There's nothing more satisfying and endorphin boosting than peeling off the seal on a fresh tube of paint and smelling that fresh aromor.
Lilacs. He really likes lilacs!
Wood. As in the wooden handles of his paintbrushes, stop thinking dirty thoughts, you perv. He holds his spare paintbrushes between his teeth when he's in the zone while painting. When he's creating his art he's in such a a freeing, happy space, so he inadvertently smells the wood of his paint brushes and it makes him happy without him even realising it.

 FISH PIE, OCEAN, FORBIDDEN FOREST
Her mum used to cook all manner of things but her specialty was a fish-pie that Tai absolutely could not stand. She hates the smell but it reminds her so strongly of her mother and it makes her heart sing, even if it's yucky.
The smell of the ocean just sings to Tai's free heart, although she's scared of going out on the ocean. Strange.
A mix of different tree scents floating on the wind gives Tai such a strong sense of freedom. The forbidden forest at Hogwarts was an escape for her once she learnt to become an animagus.

 MONEY, PERFUME, ORANGES
Copious amounts of money smells incredible, and you'll never know, because you're poor. You're so poor. You could never imagine the wealth and luxury of a Rayne-Avery and that thrills Jovi.
Her favourite perfume. It makes her feel incredible and special. It was the one she wore on all the major events of her life. Her wedding, having her babies, and, of course, her first date with Fin.
Fresh oranges. Jovi doesn't even like oranges. They're sticky and that white pith is just gross, but through each of her pregnancies she loved the smell of oranges. She would cut open and orange and just smell it for ages. She would never eat it and she'd never drink the juice, but she loved the smell and now the smell of oranges take her back to her pregnancies.

 COSMOPOLITANS, CIGARS, BEACHES
Nova's wanted to be a performer forever. The smells of the club she performs in are tied with her strong desire for success. Cosmos are her favourite drink and any man that buys her a cosmo gets a little eyelash flutter, a coy smile, and a wave, or at least they used to before she got married.
There's just something about the smell of a decent cigar being puffed on that Nova finds intoxicating. It's just so rugged and manly.
Nova loves a hot getaway and she loves to spend time on an exotic beach, soaking up the sun while someone fetches her cocktails and keeps her water fresh and cold for her. Ahhh, bliss!

 GRASS, WOOD FIRE, COLD AIR
Ria loves being outside. She's an outdoorsy person and she loves to play about and nothing beats freshly mown grass. It's summer, it's freedom, it's fun!
The smell of burning wood and cold air go hand in hand for Ria. The clean air that winter brings is fresh and freeing, it makes Ria feel as though anything is possible and with the coolness comes the warmth of fire and let's face it - it's the best smell ever!

 PERFUMES, CINNAMON, WILD FLOWERS
What doesn't Auggie love!? He's the happiest guy in existence and he loves love. He's always falling in love and each one of his partners holds a special place in his heart so all their perfumes and aftershaves can be smelt and it's incredibly strong and overwhelming and does not match well, but when you pick out each individual scent, it's quite remarkable.
Auggie's mum used to cook just about everything sweet with cinnamon and she would go overboard on it every time and he loved it! Honestly, the fastest way to this guys heart would be with a cinnamon scroll!
When he was little Auggie would always bring his mum flowers that he would find on his walks. H would pick wilf flowers and give them to her as gifts.

 PERFUME, AFTERSHAVE, BOOKS, RAIN, BURNING WOOD, FRESH LAUNDRY
Her mother's perfume and her brother's aftershave are the main smells in Lunete's experience. She misses them both so, so much.
The smell of old, leather-bound books is intoxicating, especially when she's reading on a rainy day, log fire on, wrapped up in a freshly washed and dried blanky! Lu's amortentia is a whole experience in a scent.
