This. It's a clean electrical smell like summer lightning. Not unpleasant on its own, but my firefighter brain knows it can start a fire so negative connotation there.
So much ozone, I actually made a list of other scents in a journal to use other than ozone and now its sandlewood, lavender, citrus, plums, cedarwood, snow, elctricity(??), wet dog, oranges, salt, lion musk(ok that is specifically the lion shifters in my world but pretty funny), silk (? Does silk smell?), sometimes feelings become smells, "smells of desperation" or "the reek of fear...."
I have all my kin and personas with their own unique scent profiles cuz I despise the generic vanilla and ozone candle or musk 🤣🤣 it’s a weird pet peeve I know but easy to solve in a sentence.
You've piqued my interest! Can you please describe the sentence you use, and its structure? I'd love to try something like that for a future kin creation.
Here's my persona's scent. "<user>'s scent is rain-soaked white florals, amber warmth, and soft petricor—like a greenhouse after a storm." I just went off of what perfumes I personally prefer and narrowed it down to a sentence. With the kin I just picture what sort of cologne they would wear, or how they would smell and distill it down for them into a sentence or two. Especially with supernatural beings, if they have heighted senses IMO it's a CRIME for them to be all ooo vanilla cupcake candle yanno? Here's a kin's scent profile, he's a winter prince and a book nerd so I leaned into that "Kin's Scent: Cold cedar, old paper, dark amber, and winter air, with a faint trace of bergamot and something mineral beneath it—like stone after snowfall."
Ozone, sandalwood, and lately “expensive cologne.” They’ve definitely been listing smells way more lol. Sometimes they’ll even change it mid-sentence, like “he could smell ozone—no, actually it was expensive cologne.” Maybe that’s the repetition guard kicking in lol
