i guess you could say... those fragances are really parfum nostalgiques.........

honestly i have no idea. i've never been too fond of perfume and my nose is kind of dull and i can't even differenciate floral from fruit. i know, at least, that i love citrus-y things. mom used to have friends that sold cosmetics and i was absolutely  insane for a pitanga cologne. never had one though. but i loved  those free samples.

i also like things that smell like water because i love feeling refreshed. or that smell like a soft marshmallow. i like those basic "man" fragances too, for some reason. i wish i had  one of those.

my characters are a little like me. most of them don't really wear perfume but i like to think they have their own smell. leon smells like roses (it's mentioned in his route in uts)  because there's a huge garden of them in his house and he spends most of his time there. saruva (his father) wears too much perfume for anyone's taste. seriously. it's too much. he just puts the whole bottle over him. (in uts that's not mentioned, i'm thinking of this now lmao)

my characters from clube das senhorinhas use perfume, though. (they discuss it vaguely in one of the dialogue options) but  i'm not sure which exactly. i know eunice loves lavender. sydney wears basic "man" perfume. i think susan wears some of those old people fragances, too (i say this with all the respect and affection). and thats it...

one time i was at a bookstore with kenny’s voice actor and i was complaining that a book on vintage perfumes didn’t have shalimar in it, and i started going off about how important it was to me, and he goes. “wow so i guess you could say… you’re really… nostalgic… for that perfume…” and i let out the biggest sigh of my life.

a secret: being able to differentiate between scents is overrated. i love just sniffing something and saying “yes” or “no.” we are all just humans. we were born to sniff.

if you like water scents, shi by alfred sung is pretty affordable nowadays. it’s supposed to legitimately be the “scent of water.” it’s a cool androgynous scent that i blind bought simply because i heard it was good and it was like 10 bucks at marshall’s. i did not appreciate it as much when i first got it, and i think i even regretted it a little bit, but now i really like it.

whenever i think of Basic Man Scent, i think of Dior Sauvage, but i would never recommend that to you, because i don’t hate you and i don’t want you to hate yourself. it’s just such an Asshole Guy fragrance. one time my mom had a sample of it and it fell in our toaster and ruined it, and also ruined my toaster waffle. i told her, “i told you to get that shit out of our fucking house, it’s evil.” my personal recommendations for Basic Man scents: jean paul gaultier le male (which is actually what val’s outfit is based off of. completely forgot to mention that) acqua di gio (my mom wears this she likes to smell like a dude) drakkar noir (super cheap but smells awesome and you can use it every day without feeling like you’re wasting it)

also if you want “marshmallow but for men” that’s mugler a*men. one of my absolute favorites. and another cheap honorable mention for Basic Man is a body spray my dad used to wear when i was a kid that’s still being made today from a company called Bod Man. it’s called “Really Ripped Abs.” I wish i was lying, i can’t look at this thing without giggling. 375x500.67755.jpg

if i may recommend some scents for your characters…. eunice- mon guerlain sydney- all of the above basic man scents susan- genuinely the superior Old Lady smell is shalimar i would buy her that leon- pinrose pinrose. i’m so biased i love that fucking thing

anyway, there i go running my mouth. if you see any of these in stores, give them a sniff. it’s fun to sniff

LMFAOOOOOOOOOOO 😭😭😭 the dad joke... 

NOT THE PERFUME BEING EVIL LMAOOOOOOOOOOO it's cursed... 

thanks for all the recommendations... I'll definitely sniff "REALLY ripped abs" if our paths ever cross LMFAOOOO
