9.8.13 Perfumery
The Perfumery talent deals in the creation and use of essential oils from a combination of base oils, waxes and butters. Essential oils are the staple ingredient for these talents and they can be used to create products such as perfume, cologne, lotions, balms and various other, scented, goods. The talent of Perfumery can be bought from Esme in the village of Kald (V63818) for ninety (90) credits. Esme's shop also sells designs so that the transcendent Aromachologist can design their own soaps and candles. She also sells the base materials and empty perfumery containers that are necessary for the craft. Certain perfumery containers can also be crafted by those proficient in Jewelcrafting. Essential Oils -------------- See also: AB PERFUMERY ESSENTIAL OILS Essential oils are the basis for all your other perfumery products. To make an essential oil, you first need a base oil. You can then choose to add two more ingredients for the primary and secondary components of the essential oil. This is optional, but will help diversify the scent of your essential oil. Perfume/Cologne --------------- See also: AB PERFUMERY PERFUME AB PERFUMERY COLOGNE While only an aromachologist can make perfume and cologne, anybody can use them once they have a bottle - just DAB <perfume|cologne>. Both perfume and cologne will give you a scent that others can detect by SMELLing you, but perfume has the additional effect of adding secondary lines to your movement messages. People that use emotes on you that are flagged as 'contact' (e.g. hug) may also occassionally catch a whiff of your scent. Perfume will last for two hours before their fragrance fades. Diffuser -------- See also: AB PERFUMERY DIFFUSER After being prepared by an aromachologist, anybody can UNSEAL <diffuser> to release its fragrance into the air. This will cause the diffuser to emit periodic room emotes, and will last for a total of 24 hours. Beard Oil --------- See also: AB PERFUMERY BEARD OIL After being prepared by an aromachologist, anybody can STROKE BEARD WITH <beardoil>. This will append a line to your description to indicate the pampered quality of your beard. Beard oil effect will last for two hours before fading. Candles ------- See also: AB PERFUMERY CANDLES Similar to both diffuers and their Fumology counterparts, a candle will emit periodic room messages about their scent. These differ from Fumology candles in that they last for 24 hours and fire their emotes at a slower rate. Simply LIGHT a candle to activate it, or EXTINGUISH it to put it out prematurely. If extinguished, you can relight it again later. PROBE the candle to see how much of it has been used. Soap ---- See also: AB PERFUMERY SOAP After being prepared by an aromachologist, anybody can SCRUB WITH SOAP while in a watery location. This ensures that the success rate of removing stinkiness is 100%, and also decreases the balance used slightly. Soap will leave a lingering fragrance upon you that others can SMELL for one hour. Scented letters --------------- See also: AB PERFUMERY SCENTED LETTERS A scented letter will have a secondary message when it is delivered, hinting at the fragrance it contains. The recipient can then SMELL the letter to obtain the full experience of the fragrance. Balms ----- See also: AB PERFUMERY BALMS After being prepared by an aromachologist, anybody can APPLY <balm> to wear it on their lips. This will make it so that people who use any of the various KISS emotes (e.g. kiss, deepkiss, passionkiss, etc) will get a brief taste of your chosen lip balm. This effect will last for two hours. Lotion ------ See also: AB PERFUMERY LOTION After being prepared by an aromachologist, anybody can APPLY <lotion> to moisturize their skin. This will append a line to your description. People can also SMELL you if they desire, but any cologne or perfume will overpower the lotion's scent. This effect will last for two hours.
