Hi everyone, (if this thread is still active! I seem to be missing out on all the nice discussions!!)I d like a rec for the main character in my book!
She is the love interest of this guy, and I want her to smell this particular way (I have to admit I am obssessed with finding a scent for her!) to the guy. He has been holed up in his house for years and seen nothing or anyone. So her smell kind of embodies the whole outside world to him in the exotic, mysterious, dreamy, promising adventures, luring kind of way. Something like a silhouette in a misty forest. Very exotic, unique, complex (has to embody the world to him), and a subtle, underlying darkness and sorrow, danger even, adventurous...but mainly hope. The closest I can relate their situation is to Quasimodo and esmeralda. What she was to him in a way is the same here.
Hope I wasnt too confusing . Thanks in advance!! Sorry for the huge rant!
