Random meme thought up by ME!

Darrow is populated by all sorts of supernatural creatures, many of whom use their sense of smell just as often as their senses of sight and sound. Tag in to this post and tell us how your pup smells. Include scents that might make them unique and connections they might have with places or other people. GET CREATIVE.

Let this be a resource for all those creepy pups who can smell what their friends ate for lunch from two blocks away. You can also tag each other to ask questions, or whatever you'd like. HAVE FUN.

MOST USEFUL OF MEMES

[thetinydemon]

DO IT FOR DEREK, HE SMELLS LIKE STUFF, TOO.

[lacrimae_rerum]

Wool and soap, mostly. Something subtly not quite human, though how you interpret that is up to you.

Ric... smells like a vampire, and probably blood, to the supernatural types. Oh and bourbon. Definitely bourbon. More bourbon than blood right now, even.

[likeaplanet]

NEIL MCCORMICK PINOCCHIO - tobacco and leather, cheap shampoo and Dial soap, gun oil, RARELY moderately priced cologne. More often than not, to put it bluntly, Neil smells like sex. Also, little girl shampoo and fabric softener and Mike Pinocchio's man musk.

It's a bizarre bouquet of domesticity and sex work. FUN.

[triskehale]

Derek can attest to this. :|

[beautyof_form]

HANNA HELLER - gun oil and ice cream. fruity shampoo and some candy scented body spray. There's always a hint of the streets clinging to her, dust and smog under the sweetness.

[bloodyanimal]

SPIKE - blood, leather, tobacco, bourbon, and for those with supernatural senses, a bit of death. And Andrea.

[lacrimae_rerum]

You realize blood+bourbon just made half the TVD vampires want to lick him, right?

[controlthefear]

Forrest Bondurant - wool, gun oil, cigars and dust. It might not look it, but Forrest does pay a lot of attention to hygiene, so while there's the smell of hard work on him, he wouldn't smell dirty, by any means. And Maggie. Always Maggie.

Though, once his restaurant opens, he'll carry the smell of the grill on him.

[fightyourcorner]

THOMAS BARROW - soap and fresh laundry, aftershave, wool and leather and cigarettes. There's a bit of dust and grease and metal on him, from working at the clock shop.

[triskehale]

Derek Hale - Leather and cotton mostly, which is is enhanced by the fact that his skin is always warm. He'll also smell like the forest, earth and leaves. To supernatural creatures, he will not smell human and they may pick up on a hint of ash, which is a physical manifestation of his guilt.

[thetinydemon]

which is a physical manifestation of his guilt

SHRIEKS WITH LAUGHTER.

[heretofight]

TOMMY CONLON - Sweat. Masculine, sweaty man sweat. And dog. And Kara Thrace. And finger paint.

It works for him, trust me.

[itwas_perfect]

NINA SAYERS - stress and sadness. fresh laundry. sometimes a little clean sweat, if she's been dancing. soft, floral perfume. something sharper and deeper, under the shallow sweetness-- which might be Lily, or might be herself, it's hard to tell.

[my_precioussssssss]

GOLLUM - very old and dead things. darkness and damp. raw fishes. Gollum likely smells as unhealthy and bizarre as he looks.

[not_inthemood]

JANE TIMONEY - wool, leather, gun powder, cigarettes and whiskey, cheap unisex shampoo and soap. Rarely she might smell like a soft, sophisticated (but not old-lady) perfume. Womanly, but not overly feminine.

[paythetoll]

URSULA - sea salt and sand. a feminine, beachy perfume. The ozone spark of magic. Under that, to the very sensitive nose, seaweed and dead fish.

[uncertainty_principle]

WALTER WHITE - books and papers and ink. Wool and cheap aftershave. To the very sensitive nose, Walt might soon smell like a laboratory. A very specific blend of pungent chemicals and plastic and harsh cleaning products.

[all_dewy]

MEG MASTERS - leather and sweet smelling shampoo. Humans might detect a very, very faint scent of sulfur, but to those with sensitive noses, that scent of death and sulfur and smoke would be extremely pungent.

[hiptobesquare]

PATRICK BATEMAN - J&B scotch. cigars. a plethora of very expensive skincare products. Tom Ford cologne. Italian silk, wool and leather. desperation and tears. money. nihilism. the occasional dead prostitute.

[myonlydefense]

STILES STILINSKI: To the normies, probably just his deodorant (Old Spice, you're welcome ladies) and some residual chocolate from where he's stashing it somewhere on his person. Supernatural types might think he smells like sugar overall, a bit warmer than just chocolate, like brown sugar. Something a bit sharper from his Adderall when he's taking it - which he isn't right now. And also something a bit tangier and sharper, because... I said so. And he's snarky. So sharp. Tangy.

Cool.

[likeaplanet]

Stiles smelling like candy is kind of cracking me up right now.

[onewhoisall]

Cassandra Cain smells like kevlar, sweat, blood (other people's/creatures/beings blood and rarely her own, leather, motorcycle oil and fumes, bats and also, kind of like Kaine.

If you ever smell Batgirl, Cass surprisingly smells like that.

[little_duck]

Prim- Wildflowers and sunshine and warm dried grass. A sensitive nose would pick up traces of her sister Katniss.

[hiddeninsnow]

Lisbeth- Leather, smoke, oil. LONELINESS A sensitive nose would not only pick up that slightly peculiar scent of electronics, as well as cotton candy.

[forthedog]

GREAT she and Mike and Neil can all smell like leather and smoke and oil together

[exitthewallflower]

Babs usually smells like a sunny afternoon in an old library. Sometimes a little dusty because the stacks are old and deep, but clean and crisp. Sometimes with a floral or apple note from her shampoo, or the occasional wound scent from a cleverly concealed bandage. There's also a hint of the Bat about her and whatever an occasionally electrified little witch-girl smells like.

Batgirl smells like body armor and hard work, the acrid odor of small explosive charges from her grapnel gun and the metallic scent of her throw lines and batarangs. There's the scent of blood, sometimes fresh, sometimes just residual, sometimes it's even hers.

[behindmothersback]

Eleanor smells like the ocean after a storm, freshly clean and just a little threatening. She's fond of wearing teen body sprays so there's often some kind of cucumber-plumeria-melon-whatever scent about her, but she doesn't wear them a lot. In the midst of all that, there's the scent of freshly minted books and old-fashioned tea from her job. If she's been using her plasmids recently, there's the slight scent of burned ozone and the smell of the sea (slug) is stronger.

[wipeawaythedebt]

Booker DeWitt smells like whiskey, weapons, cigarette smoke, and backroom gambling. He's usually got a wad of rumpled cash and maybe a pack of cards on him. There's gun oil and steel from his guns and knives, and the leather of his boots. He's usually clean, unless he's been on a binge and then he probably smells a little ripe.

[myonlydefense]

Booker Dewitt smells like HOT SLICE OF MAN WHO [SPOILERS] AND BURNS PEOPLE TO PILES OF ASH.

[molokovcocktail]

Molokov smells of vodka and tears. Also of sketchiness.

[toanend]

I wish I could favorite or like comments.

[arrowette]

Cissie smells of vanilla-scented soap, good-old fashioned sweat with a hint of bourbon/blood undernote (THANKS A LOT, DAMON)

[lacrimae_rerum]

Well her thread with Ric just got more interesting.
