What does Tamriel smell like?

I wish my cat would come home smelling of perfume, rather than whatever he's been rolling in before jumping onto my bed and getting the stink all over the duvetSantieClaws wrote: »Khajiit likes all the sniffy bottles yes.
But what is this she has found?
"Ball of Royal Ochre Mohair Yarn"
Where is this item to be found!!!!
Khajiit has spent a lifetime in the wardrobes and nightstands of Tamriel. Never yet has she found such a thing!
On topic: This one she bets it smells all lovely and fluffy and probably makes this one sneeze a bit too.

I've no doubt you smell gorgeous. My real life kitty often comes home smelling of perfume. I don't know where he goes but he has his secrets...

✭✭✭I think, since the 3 banner war lasts forever, it will smell like rotten corpses everywhere. Also we have players killing in PvE everything so death and decay will be the main odeur.٩(͡๏̯͡๏)۶
"I am a nightblade. Blending the disciplines of the stealthy agent and subtle wizard, I move unseen and undetected, foil locks and traps, and teleport to safety when threatened, or strike like a viper from ambush. The College of Illusion hides me and fuddles or pacifies my opponents. The College of Mysticism detects my object, reflects and dispels enemy spells, and makes good my escape. The key to a nightblade's success is avoidance, by spell or by stealth; with these skills, all things are possible." -

✭✭✭Are there any potions or spells to make a person smell perfumed?
A few other posters already brought up some of the perfumes you can...acquire...in ESO, but Telvanni Bug Musk has been a thing since Morrowind.
Did we ever find out what kind of bug it comes from???#proud2BAStarObsessedLoony

Recremen✭✭✭✭✭
✭✭✭✭✭Men'Do does not study very much Cojuration magicka, not after the one incident with the mammoth, but he made sure to learn the most important spells: those to conjure fresh water and perfumes of secret, possibly Daedric origin!! These are essential items for any cat on the road. Imagine being caught in the middle of Alik'ir with nothing but sand to bathe in, nothing but the hot sun to smell like! These are no good, no good for Khajiit. So he learns. And now everywhere he goes smells of a thousand roses, or a million spring nights, or a grove of prismatic pine trees. So maybe others have problem with "smell bad", but not this one.Men'Do PC NA AD Khajiit

✭✭✭✭✭I can confirm. I found myself in some sort of tomb with Men'Do today, and despite it being full of cobwebs and decay, not to mention the giant Minotaur, the place had a pleasant scent and everybody involved had a pleasant fashion sense, too.Just so that everyone knows, my Altmer still can't have black hair. About a dozen of Altmer NPCs in the game have black hair. Just saying.
Meet my characters:Command: Do the thing.
Zadarri, Khajiit Fist of Thalmor: The thing was done, as commanded.
Durza gra-Maghul, Orc blacksmith: The thing was done perfectly, in the most efficient way.
Tegwen, Bosmer troublemaker: You can't prove I didn't do the thing.
Sings-Many-Songs, Argonian fisher: Sure, I'll do the thing... Eventually. Maybe.
Aerindel, Altmer stormcaller: After extensive research, I've come to the conclusion that doing the thing would be a waste of resources.
Liliel, Dunmer pyromancer: Aerindel said I shouldn't do the thing. Something about "resources".
Gyda Snowcaller, Nord cryomancer: I will find a way to do it that won't waste resources and make Aerindel proud of me.
Beatrice Leoriane, Breton vampire: I persuaded someone else into doing the thing. You are welcome, dear.
Sahima, Redguard performer: Doing the thing sounds awfully unpleasant and really not my problem.
Ellaria Valerius, Imperial priestess: I'll pray to the Eight for the thing to be done, if it is Their will. -
Eiagra✭✭✭✭✭Population density is not very high, and there are sewer systems in place, so while we may not be dealing with pre-industrial London or something like that, I doubt we are also dealing with people dumping out chamber pots into gutters -- even if there ARE no toilets. (Technically, since there are no toilets, and nobody poops, there are also no sewer smells, and the sewers are just rainwater drains...)
There are no mechanical means of transportation adopted widespread to replace living mounts, so both cities and rural areas would have to deal with the resulting horse/guar clods. Optimally, there would be sanitation workers keeping the city streets clean for the high-born, while living quarters in poorer areas would likely be less well-kept. Rubbish (food scraps, etc) would also be something assaulting the senses if organized sanitation was not in place.
Enchantment would likely assist here, as magicka-augmented incinerators would be an appropriate method to dispose of such things. Likely in poorer sections, or in trade quarters, since the scent of things like leather tanning is already fouling the air.
Scents of people would depend on culture as well as climate. The Khajiit seem more attuned to scent, so I would expect them to embrace natural scents as identifiers, or to use things like herbs, oils, and essences to send certain messages or perhaps in response to certain olfactory trends.
Otherwise, I don't see any particular race smelling worse than others. Orcs who spend all day at the forge, for example, aren't going to smell any worse than Altmer who spend all day at the forge. Unless you stop to bathe every hour or something, you're going to work up a sweat no matter who you are. Culture and what is considered acceptable -- and affordable -- is going to influence how frequently one washes off the day's grime. Individuals will take or break what is the social norm.
Remove people from the equation, and you fall back to more organic scents. Woodland areas will smell like the forest, etc.
What really makes me wonder are the areas that are non-organic, but not influenced by the races of Tamriel. For example, what does Coldharbor smell like? Is it a chill scent, like a snowstorm? Or is there a smell of decay? What does asure plasm smell like compared to water (since it serves as a similar "swimmable" fluid). For that matter, I wonder what it tastes like... (I try not to think too hard on that one though).██████ █████████ ███████ In verity. -

✭the one thing I recall is that Argonians are apparently VERY smelly to most but they could be outliers. Werewolves smell like dirty wet dog. and Khajiit breath is bad because they lick their butts #jardeecomedyclub

Saoirse_Siobhan✭✭✭✭✭What really makes me wonder are the areas that are non-organic, but not influenced by the races of Tamriel. For example, what does Coldharbor smell like? Is it a chill scent, like a snowstorm? Or is there a smell of decay? What does asure plasm smell like compared to water (since it serves as a similar "swimmable" fluid). For that matter, I wonder what it tastes like... (I try not to think too hard on that one though).
In many places in Coldharbour I assume is filled with the stench of decay of the rotting corpses of the soul shriven. And I can't imagine the creatures there smelling very nice, especially Ogrims. For some reason I keep thinking that dremora would smell like smoke or ash. I am very curious though about the water. It's considered to be "foul water" by the fishies, but it's so clear, so blue! I want to taste it! ...probably poisonous though.PC/EU DC -
