What do you think slytherin boys smell like?
ohhh, that’s an interesting question, and one i have thought about before.
so, first of all, theo. he smells like cologne that he picked out once years ago and doesn’t plan on changing it, something spicy. my hc is givenchy gentleman boisée. then, of course, we have cigarettes, can’t really get away from this one. but i don’t feel like it’s putrid because he changes his clothes pretty often, so it doesn’t cling that badly (the laundry detergent is citrusy, so it cancels out the smoke pretty well). and finally, coffee, because in my mind, he’s a coffee addict, one of those ‘don’t touch me before i’ve had my morning coffee’ types of people. so naturally, he smells like it. him and mattheo also reek of weed on weekends. they just do.
mattheo is the sweaty guy of the group. sorry, i don’t make the rules, he just is. he doesn’t necessarily stink, but there’s the underlying hint of sweat on him practically at all times (if you’re dating tho, you don’t mind ‘cause that’s ur boy <3). smoke clings to him more than to theo bc he doesn’t really care about not smelling like it, he just goes with it. he has cologne, too, and also doesn’t care about changing it. probably has the same one as one of the other guys, having grabbed it during one of the shopping trips together, so it really depends on who he shops with.
i wholeheartedly agree with most about draco smelling like mint. the guy cares a lot about his breath, and just how he smells in general (which has been ingrained in him since childhood; narcissa’s boy won’t go around smelling like shit). expensive af cologne, the classic woody notes + something fresh. jo malone london wood sage & sea salt is my personal hc. in general, his scent isn’t that strong, so you wouldn’t know it’s him approaching you before you see him (which makes it that much more special when you’re dating, and you can finally smell him vividly while burying your face into his neck).
lorenzo is the dior sauvage kind of guy, which is really fucking annoying in the quidditch locker room, especially to draco. everywhere he goes, he leaves a trail of himself in the form of dior sauvage. also, lorenzo loves lollipops. the stick hangs out of his mouth all the time, which is why his scent is complemented by whatever the lollipop of the day is (his favs are watermelon or coke). has a hint of apple pie on him in the autumn, because he just loves it and has it whenever it’s served or whenever he’s at hogsmeade.
as for blaise, i feel like he’s the one who has at least three different colognes and changes them out depending on his mood. it’s mostly warm scents, though, the ones that leave a whiff around him, so when he’s standing or sitting next to you, you just want to lean closer and breathe it in. there’s a minty hint to him as well, like with draco. sometimes on the weekends smells like weed too, having been hanging out with theo and mattheo, but actually tries masking it.
