some time ago
lemonlye had a post about what perfume the greek gods would wear, inspired by a couple of books she wrote & her interest in perfume.
for whatever reason my weird brainTM had some suggestions:
hades--earthy or dirt, incense & embalming herbs
persephone--pomegranate & fresh blooming things like apple blossoms
hermes--something fresh-smelling, like the wind. like white musk & pear
hectate--herbs, possibly woods or bark
dionysos--wine, beeswax candles & maybe dragon's blood resin
aphrodite--honey, musk & maybe roses
poseidon and amphitrite--sea moss or tropical ferns & coral
