What do they smell like?
As someone with an extremely sensitive nose, I have a knack for identifying good fragrances. After a late night chitty chat with @icyserpentarts this is the post of the day! What do our favorite Kengan Ashura characters smell like, and what colognes/perfumes would I recommend to fully understand the vision?
Tags: SFW, smelly good and unconventional fragrance recs (if you summon the great bagagwa).
Kanoh Agito - the Fang is a machine for violence, constantly evolving fight after fight, and his scent reflects that. He is dressed to impress, dawning custom tailored suits, but behind that poise exterior is an animal waiting to tear into its next victim. A once freshly bathed, clean smelling man has now been doused in blood. He is both a dream and a nightmare.
Rec: Against Nature by Timothy Han
Yōkai Hakashita - his aura alone paints the perfect picture of how dangerous he is. Yōkai lurks, haunting the shadows, walking the halls without making a sound, yet he is not there as a threat, just a looming figure. You smell elegance and darkness, something unfamiliar to the nose, although it is not off putting. He is entirely recognizable, yet he somehow remains a mystery.
Rec: Poltergeist by Heretic Parfum
Sen Hatsumi - sleaze done right (if that's even possible). He can be a gentleman, or he can be an absolute menace, it just depends on the day. You want to punch him in the face sometimes, but you also want to make passionate love to that gentle smile. Honestly, he is the definition of hard-to-get and adheres to his playful nature. Musk and something sweet rests on his collar.
Rec: Civet by Zoologist
Kaolan Wongsawat - the Thai God of War paints one hell of a picture. His devotion, soft expression, and overwhelming strength display the beautiful connection between power and control. Bright citrus, spices, and a warm depth lingers in every place he occupies. His majesty only wishes he could grace the man's throat every day just to admire that erotica scent.
Rec: Safanad by Parfums de Marly
Raian Kure - dark and demented, he embraces his inner demons. Fear crawls from his shadow and into the souls of those around him. The animal inside, a sword fresh from the kill, and dead set on assassinating those who dare threaten his family. He is evil incarnate, scented of sweet death, musk, and something animalic under his skin.
Rec: Carnicure by Marlou
Ryo Himuro - he's a bit of a wild card who knows he's worth your time. Man is pretty, but not overly extravagant. There's a unique edge to him, and it's not the bright white hair, either. Himuro is a very refreshing character, almost like ice cold water in the heat of summer, yet there's an artificial element to his look.
Rec: Fragrance 03 - Blonde by Ded Cool
Jun Sekibayashi - he's a non-complicated man who lives for the thrill. His aura is completely original to him. Everything about him is signature down to his very scent. Strong, familiar, and ultimately drug store bought, Seki matches his entire routine to one smell, which varies slightly depending on his mood.
Rec: Bod or Old Spice body sprays.
Ohma Tokita - he lived in the forest for what feels like forever and even bathed in the river. He still enjoys the outdoors and likely takes on the scent of dark nature elements. My first thought is musty, wet stone, pine, and something trying to be fresh. This is obviously masked by a proper shower during his time with Yamashita, but it's still present on his skin.
Rec: Humus by Mad et Len
Haruo Kono - soapy boy, clean boy. Haruo might not appear to be a clean boy, but because of the teasing and consistent sweating, he takes very good care of himself. There are no fancy perfumes, lotions, or oils, just body wash and deodorant. He always smells clean, but not refreshing like mint or fruity like a bubble bath, simply suds.
Rec: Cotton Blossom by Bath & Body Works
Saw Paing - boy is LOUD and PROUD. He will take on any challenger and withstand the test of time. Saw is a man with a soft ego who is trying to be the best, but he doesn't need to push himself that hard. Classic scents are typically green with a musky base and floral goodness on top, but Saw has a little more drama.
Rec: Karma by LUSH
Seishu Akoya - similar to the streets he guards, Akoya is the definition of brutalism. His body is build like krushchevka: stoic, uncomplicated, and built for one thing. Damp asphalt, rich florals, and spice define the undefinable, transforming him into a piece of the city he stalks.
Rec: The Cobra & The Canary by Imaginary Authors
Dr. Hajime Hanafusa - beyond the shell of a doctor lies the perfect psychopath. His grizzly self-experiments and desire to dissect leave him in the residue of both his practice and his environment. Fluids cover him, bones crunch beneath him, and organs are cut to expose truths untold. Hajime is raw iron and the stench of a medical prison.
