id fuck Satan if he'd let me

Hosea

A wispy, sophisticated scent of cedarwood

The earthy scent of a campfire a few hours after it’s been put out

When he gets dressed up, Hosea smells like cucumber

John

A dusty road

That smell you faintly get after it rains all day

Sweat mixed with some other natural scent that’s hard to pinpoint. You know you strangely recognise the smell but you can’t remember the name of it

Micah

That smell you get immediately after striking a match

A constant smell of gun oil you cannot get rid of no matter how many times you soak him in water

Tobacco that can sometimes smell nice but can also be very overpowering and pungent

Javier

A warm and inviting smell of lavender 

Charred logs on a campfire

That smell of home that makes you instantly relax

Bill

Burning wood

Like he’s had a mud bath but it’s a dry mud smell and not fresh dirt

A strangely comforting nutmeg smell that reminds you of Winter

Sean

Petrol/ gas

Pine needles with a touch of sage

Arson

Lenny

Smooth coffee that’s been freshly brewed

A fresh, citrus smell that’s kinda like tangerines but you can’t put your finger on the exact fruit

Sawdust

Trelawny

That new car smell

His breath is very minty to the point where you’re actually concerned by the amount of mint leaves he must be eating to keep the smell so strong.

The soft, very subtle smell of an old jumper 

Kieran

A natural rooty fragrance 

He smells kinda like what horses and hay smell like but it’s also very distinct to only Kieran. The good news is it’s more tolerable than that horse smell

Also you know when people say they can smell fear? Well yeah, Kieran stinks of fear

Pearson

The faint smell of a roast dinner that disappears the second you notice it

I’m convinced this man still has that salty sea air smell even though he’s been out of the navy for years

Whiskey mixed with regret

Uncle

He smells like someone who doesn’t know what a bath is

Yeast

Farts that kinda smell of eggs even though Uncle hasn’t eaten any eggs in the last 3 years.

Miss Grimshaw

perfume that probably expired a decade ago

cheese

like an old folk’s home

Reverend Swanson

an overpowering fruity perfume smell he’s probably ‘borrowed’ from one of the ladies and sprays on himself to try to cover other, less favourable smells

a damp scent that resembles the smell of vomit but that goes away in the later chapters

he also smells like a hint of cinnamon 

Strauss

that old book smell that’s very musty

crayons

chlorine which equally confuses and terrifies people

Abigail

a sprinkle of wintergreen berries

coffee slowly brewing

she smells like someone who hasn’t gotten a peaceful night’s sleep in years

Mary-Beth

orchids

freshly washed clothes that has a delicate perfume scent

cigarette butts depending on the time of the day

Karen

desert sage

the fleeting smell of roasted malt

every now and again she smells peachy

Tilly

fragrant soap 

creek plum

the crisp smell of wild berries

Sadie

the faint smell of roses that’s been overpowered by the smell of gunpowder

softly worn leather

sulphur that’s nicely complemented with rage

Molly

expensive perfume she put on about two days ago but the smell is still lingering around her

prairie poppy
