This one was rather fun to make despite the fact there's not much here. The biggest thing is Master of Scent. Prestidigitation allows the user to create sensory effects like odors. I couldn't really find anything scent-like for 1st level spells, but I went with Fog Cloud because I imagined aromatisse spraying a scent-less perfume cloud. One of Nathair's Mischief's effects is that it causes a 20 foot cube to be filled with the scent of apple pie. The age section is based on two different things: the maturity rate is based on how long perfumes last for (3-5 years) and, given how Aromatisse has owl-like traits, the 40 years is based on the lifespan of the Great Grey Owl. The reason the Great Grey Owl was chosen is because it's height range is on par with aromatisse itself.

Given how low on the Musicus Meter it is, maybe I should have added more like some skill or tool proficiency. I might add some more things later, but we'll see. --MetalShadowOverlord (talk) 03:43, 29 March 2023 (MDT)

I added an extra little bit on smelling to the race. Not sure how accurate or applicable it really is but it's something.--Yanied (talk) 15:37, 31 December 2023 (MST)
