Perfumery
The Perfumery skill grants characters the ability to craft sensory experiences that transcend the ordinary. From the ethereal allure of delicate floral bouquets to the gut-wrenching repulsion of putrid odors, to manipulate the very essence of scent. Those with the perfumery skill can blend a myriad of aromatic ingredients, from rare flowers and exotic spices to resins, woods, and animal secretions, each chosen for its unique olfactory profile.
Perfumery is not for the faint of heart. It requires a keen understanding of scent composition, as well as a nose capable of discerning subtle nuances and harmonizing disparate elements.
Novice perfumers can create various sought after items such as soaps, potpourri and sachets, while the more skilled learn the intricate furnace and alembic-based steam extraction of essential oils to create their own unique scents. These perfumes are often sought after by nobility or the wealthy.
Perfumery relies on dexterity and willpower
