Perfume
Perfume can be applied to a character in order to create an output for SMELL. Each application will last four hours before it wears off, and these applications can be stacked to last longer than four hours. The word "perfume" is a bit of a misnomer as the scents that can be applied can range from traditionally pleasant to unpleasant scents as can be seen at the list of perfumes. Standard perfumes come with ten uses, but merchants might sell them with more. Most perfumes can be permified. A infinite vial of most commonly found perfumes - referred to as a perfume shifter - is occasionally awarded as a prize in various games, contests, and prize pools.
Perfume is always available on Mist Harbor in The Crystal Lotus and at Solhaven in Mistsheen Annex. It is often sold at festivals and pay events. Custom perfume is sometimes offered as a delayed service prize and is bottomless.
ANALYZE the perfume to get the first and third person scent messaging without wearing it first.
Example
A frosted spiral glass bottle with a winter rose stopper
>READ my bottle In the Common language, it reads: Silvergate Inn Signature Perfume >SMELL my bottle You sniff delicately at the spiral glass bottle, and detect the faint scent of glacier-steeped roses. >MEASURE my bottle Your spiral glass bottle currently has 10 of a maximum 10 applications. >POUR my bottle on character You pour a few drops of liquid from your spiral glass bottle onto yourself. The subtle scent which had been clinging to you dissipates.
- Interacting with others (or vice versa)
>smell person Person has the scent of roses with icy notes hanging from her. Person hugs you, and you detect the faint scent of glacier-steeped roses around her.
Perfume Jewelry
Perfume Jewewlry are wearable perfume-holding items found at special events such as the Ebon Gate Festival.
Analyze
>analyze lily You analyze your glass lily and sense that the item is largely free from merchant alteration restrictions. The creator has also provided the following information: The glass pendant is a piece of perfume-holding jewelry that currently holds no scent. When applied via PULL, this pendant will apply the scent with gendered messaging. RUB will always be gender neutral. It may be altered with a long or a show, but must remain a piece of jewelry. The stoppered crystal vial will always remain on the piece. Please note that acceptable jewelry items are only items worn as pins, around the neck, on the arm (like a vambrace), or on the wrist. No back pendants, no anklets, no earrings. You get no sense of whether or not the lily may be further lightened.
