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.

Perfume

Analyze

You analyze your ship-shaped bottle and sense that the item is largely free from merchant alteration restrictions.

The creator has also provided the following information:
This bottle is for perfume or cologne.  Current verbs are: DRINK, MEASURE, POUR, and SMELL.

When applied, this bottle will produce the following scent.
 First-person: You have metallic-sparked notes of ozone crackling against seawater-heavy mist, creating an atmosphere charged with flashes of dark and light.  Faint traces of ash enshroud the corrupted iron core, sweetened only by tentacles of thick molasses that threaten to draw the scent into depths of blackened vanilla.
 Third-person: XXX has metallic-sparked notes of ozone crackling against seawater-heavy mist, creating an atmosphere charged with flashes of dark and light.  Faint traces of ash enshroud the corrupted iron core, sweetened only by tentacles of thick molasses that threaten to draw the scent into depths of blackened vanilla.

You get no sense of whether or not the bottle may be further lightened.

Usage

Verb Style First Third
DRINK You take a drink from your ship-shaped bottle, and quickly realize that this might very well be the most stupid thing you've ever done. Though, deep down, you know it is unlikely to be your last. XXX takes a drink from her ship-shaped bottle.

She suddenly looks terribly ill!

MEASURE Your ship-shaped bottle currently has 10 of a maximum 10 applications. N/A
POUR You pour a few drops of liquid from your ship-shaped bottle onto yourself. XXX pours a few drops of perfume from her ship-shaped bottle on herself.
Wearing off The subtle scent which had been clinging to you dissipates.
SMELL You sniff delicately at the ship-shaped bottle, and detect the faint scent of metallic-sparked notes of ozone crackling against seawater-heavy mist, sprinkled with faint traces of ash, sweetened by thick molasses and blackened vanilla. XXX sniffs delicately at a glass ship-shaped bottle wrapped in kraken tentacles.

Interaction with others

SMELL person
Person has the scent of roses with icy notes hanging from her.
HUG person
Person hugs you, and you detect the faint scent of glacier-steeped roses around her.

Perfume Jewelry

Analyze

You analyze your raspberry pendant and sense that the item is largely free from merchant alteration restrictions.

The creator has also provided the following information:

The raspberry pendant is a piece of perfume-holding jewelry that currently holds 15 doses of the scent of honey dew and sugar melon mingled with raspberry, loganberry, and flaeshorn berry:
  First-person: You have crisp notes of honeydew and sugar melon clinging to your skin the way condensation lingers on a cold glass on a hot day.  Beneath the cloying scent of melon are notes of tart raspberry, loganberry, and flaeshorn berry touched with a hint of pineapple basil.
  Third-person: Jennora has crisp notes of honeydew and sugar melon clinging to her skin the way condensation lingers on a cold glass on a hot day.  Beneath the cloying scent of melon are notes of tart raspberry, loganberry, and flaeshorn berry touched with a hint of pineapple basil.

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 pendant may be further lightened.

Usage

Verb Style First Third
POUR You carefully pour your sky blue bottle into a ruby-tipped grey moonstone briar pin. XXX carefully pours her sky blue bottle into a ruby-tipped grey moonstone briar pin.
PULL Female Withdrawing the stopper from your grey moonstone pin, you swipe it across your wrist, returning it to the vial before rubbing your wrists together. XXX tugs the stopper free from her grey moonstone pin, swiping it across her wrists before returning it to its place. With a diminutive motion, she discreetly rubs her wrists together.
Male You remove the stopper from the vial attached to your grey moonstone pin and pour a small amount of the liquid into your cupped palm. Replacing the stopper, you rub your hands together briefly before briskly patting your neck. XXX removes the stopper from the vial attached to his grey moonstone pin and pours a small amount of liquid into his cupped palm. Replacing the stopper, XXX rubs his hands together briefly before briskly patting his neck."
Gender Neutral You tug a small vial free of your grey moonstone pin and let a few drops of its contents trickle into your palm. After replacing the vial, you rub your hands together briskly and give yourself a thorough pat down from head to toe, ensuring even distribution of the scent." XXX tugs a small vial free of her grey moonstone pin and lets a few drops of its contents trickle into her palm. After replacing the vial, she rubs her hands together briskly and gives herself a thorough pat down from head to toe."
RUB You carefully tug the stopper free of the vial on the back of your grey moonstone pin, discreetly dabbing a bit of perfume behind each ear before replacing it. XXX withdraws what appears to be a tiny perfume stopper from her grey moonstone pin. With deft movements, she dabs the slender glass wand behind each ear before returning it to the pin.

Additional Information

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.
