Scented Shrine Maidens !

[Aterisk]

Okay so my friend and I were in our local skate shop today after I paid for her to have her nails done at the nail salon just down the street. So when we got in there we noticed an obscured corner with incense bottles and one of them had a misspelling on the jar. The original incense name is "Patchouli" but they Spelled it "Patchoulli" and so Jenny goes:

"ATTY ... TOUHOU!"
"JENNY !!! WHAT !!!"
And she showed me and so then we decided to smell it; Now for the part which is truly the hilarity; It smelled like old books and public library.

SOOOOO We got in the car and started thinking of other touhou flavored incenses ! We came up with this;

Reimu; Pit Sweat
Sakuya; Windex
Suika; Cheap Vodka
Yukari; Bus Fuel
Chen: Kitty Litter

So forumers; if you could come up with some touhou scented incenses what would they be ?!?!?!

Thought of a handful more. (about half of them are lame, but oh well, I want this post to be meaningful in /some/ way.)

Nue: An indescribable smell. :V

Murasa: Sea.

Lily white: SPRING!! (Have you ever said "Today smells like spring"?)
Alice: Oil (The oil painting)

Patchouli: Patchouli
Koakuma: a library.  You know, that smell that is of dusty old books.
Hong Meiling: Chinese tea

[Myschi]

/Atty wishes there was a love button for this post XD

Nitori: Oil (motor oil)

As an oil technician, I feel obligated to point out that motor oil in fact has very little by way of scent - it's nearly odorless. Burnt motor oil, however, has a distinct smell.

If you want something truly repugnant, though, track down some Gear Lubricant 5-weight (commonly referred to as 'GL-5'). That stuff will make you vomit if you're not ready for strong scents.

Well, I guess I was going for that smell of slightly burnt or dirty oil, kinda how a car garage smells, or when someone's been working on an engine.

Utsuho: singed feathers
Marisa: kind of a moldy or mildewy smell.

[Mr_Bob]

Yuka would smell like sunflowers, no?
Yukari would smell like a used bingo hall.
Yamame would smell musty.
Youmu would probably smell like mist.
Yuugi, being an oni, would probably smoke a pipe, thus tobacco smoke.
Yuyuko has that stillness of air in a masoleum: stone and stagnance.

[orinrin]

Sakuya would smell like... TIME.

[Pesco]

Sakuya would smell like... THYME.

Fixed

[?q]

Koishi wouldn't have a discernible scent.  You'd think about it for ages and convince yourself she had one though.

Nitori, sad to say, smells like something that's been in a river for a while.  It's not a pleasant smell at all.

Momiji smells like a wet dog.

Medicine smells like

[Aquila]

Orin/Komachi: Corpses
Yukari/Letty: Chloroform
Hina: Misfortune? xD
Youmu: Cherry Blossoms  :V
Satori: Reads your mind and creates your favorite smell.
Koishi: Makes you like the smell.

sure hope I didn't screw up any facts here.  :derp:

[Easy Mode]

Ass for everyone, since I never seem to hear about any canon baths. :I

[Tengukami]

sure hope I didn't screw up any facts here.  :derp:

Fortunately there's little to no canonical information about the scents of Gensokyans, so it's a pretty wide-open area of discussion.

I think Reimu probably smells a bit of incense, spending time in a shrine and all. Marisa, for some reason, I always imagine smelling like old books, or maybe closer to an attic smell, considering how cluttered her house is.

Cirno, living near a lake and all, probably has that wonderful lakeside smell - aquatic plants, mud, fallen leaves that have turned dark in the water.

I think Kaguya, considering all the Lunarian artifacts she has in Eientei, probably has many of the trappings of her life as a princess still with her. I imagine she might use some older scents that were popular centuries ago, like camphor or jasmine.

For some reason I imagine Remilia smells like burning candles.

Kanako, living way the hell up Youkai Mountain, I'm almost sure has the smell of cold wind, leaves, and rain.

[Esoterica]

I was thinking more along the lines of Golden Coral XD

I was playing off of what Satori said.  My real answer would be cherry blossoms, if not completely odorless due to her being a ghost.
