Seaweed (Nori) Soup
Bilbo smells like sweet pipe weed grown in his family garden for generations and apple tarts heavy with cinnamon and brown sugar--like home
Thorin smells like coal fire--he works in forges all the time and the smell just never can get out of his clothes or hair
Fili smells like lavender and thyme once they're no longer on the run--he takes pride in keeping himself clean and takes comfort in the herbal scents
Kili smells like pine and sprucewood--more elf than dwarf, he's always in the forests, exploring and climbing and getting sap all over himself
Balin smells like paper and gentle, pleasant tobacco smoke--a librarian and aide to the bone (or nose!)
Dwalin smells like rock--sharp iron, axe blades and whetstones
Bofur smells like linen-scented cotton and soft wood--he's a toymaker before he's a miner
(No Bifur sorry)
Bombur just somehow always smells like cake, vanilla to be exact--it's a rich but deep scent and it doesn't leave even if he's been on the road for months
Nori smells like sharp grease and oil--no valid reason tbh
Dori smells like cherry blossoms and white wine --no one knows how he manages that
Ori smells like paper too--but you can also smell how much chalk and charcoal dust he ends up with at the end of a long day of sketching
Óin smells like a sharp, pungent but not unpleasant mixture of several different types of herbs and poultices--and the polished leather bag he carries them in
Glóin is happily married and off limits for these types of fics but I'll tell you anyway--he smells like peat moss and a bit of bergamot
Elrond smells like candle wax, sage, and dust--not unpleasant dust, just the kind that is drawn to things ancient and worth dusting off
Lindir smells like water that runs over smooth beds of rocks, coupled with a light bit of lily
Thranduil smells like a king ("a proper one," he would probably sneer)--like rich, dark wood and brandy and the sweet smell of pastries that indicate decadence, but not so much to be gaudy
Legolas smells like undergrowth and his own special musk (he's always moving and doing) masked by a sort of bourbon-scented special cologne--you could describe it as charred oak and syruped cherries
Calling all The Hobbit lovers!
Everyone I need some help! So you know how in stories people always describe their love interests smell, like fresh linen and strawberries or smoke, clove and oranges, well I want to hear what smell you would associate with Fili and Kili? (And the rest of the company or that matter) would they smell sharp like a citrus? Soft like lavender? What?
I want to see what different people think and how they interpret the characters!
Reblog and tell me what you think they and any others in the hobbit (dwarf, hobbit and elf alike) would smell like!
