SCENT PROFILE

Natural Scent: sage, rosemary, frankincense, resin, patchouli and vetiver
Rin's natural scent is impacted by the medicine she takes to suppress her magic crest. It is a mixture of bitter herbs and ground bone. She mentions smelling like an apothecary, which gives her an earthy, herbal, and resinous base note.

Additional Scent: rose, jasmine, ylang ylang, peony, and bergamot
As someone who worries deeply what she smells like, Rin goes through great lengths to smell good. She sews sachets of dried flowers into the seams of her clothes and makes sure to wear perfume every day. Her scent profile tends to be "floral," and "bright." Lavender and chamomile may be a tertiary because she probably uses that to scent her bedding to help her sleep.

Strength of Scent: Noticeable, but not overpowering to a human nose
Because Rin was raised in Japan and strong scents are typically frowned upon, Rin's aroma is probably noticeable and pleasant — but not overtly strong. However for someone with a sensitive nose they probably could pick her out easy in a crowd (unless someone else was worse about drenching themselves in perfume/cologne).

Other: Perfume is not an Oracle Priority
When it comes to Oracle events and other such things where supplies are limited/she cannot return home, the perfume is forgotten. Her clothes still have those sachets of dried flowers sewn into the inner seams, and her perfume will probably stick to her hair, but everywhere else it will fade as the days pass, and her 'natural scent' will become more prominent.
