I've heard that smell is the sense most deeply connected to our memory. For a dragon, that may be doubly true! So what do your dragons smell when they greet each other? What scents come to mind when they think of their loved ones? Who is more recognizable by their scent than their looks?

Blue smells tangy from the hoard of gold and metal she nests in, which is sometimes mulled by the softer scent of newborn hatchlings and the regurgitated meat she feeds them.

The True Flight Rising Experience
Hatched a triple-orca baby from a single-egg nest. The parents have a 65-color primary range, a 41-color secondary range, and a 17-color tertiary range. There was a .0022% chance of this color combo happening. But it’s not a g1 and there are 42,538 triple-orca dragons unexalted. This is the best luck you've ever had on this site and it’s simultaneously completely unimpressive. Incredible. Dragon ID: #74228362XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXEarned:2021-12-11

Thanatos, on the other hand, is quite pleasant in comparison and places a great emphasis on personal hygiene. He carries a very faint odor of spiced pumpkin and cranberries.

This is really interesting, since smell is a sense that usually gets overlooked and beings such as dragons would likely rely on it far more than we would.
I have some spirits in my lair who take the form of dragons, so I imagine that my dragons could distinguish what they were based on their scent (they might look like dragons, but I'm sure they would smell different).

I would imagine that peach tree spirits smell different during various times of the year - like peach blossoms in spring, like ripe peaches during harvest, perhaps like fallen leaves in the waning months of the year.

Most underworld spirits would smell slightly metallic with a whiff of decay or musk underlying their scent.

Oats smells of earth; tilled soil and sun-drenched wheat. Sometimes, after a long day in his fields, he takes on the tangy musk of sweat from a hard day's work. On days like these, he bathes in the river and smells of water and silt. In general, Oats just smells like outdoors and freedom.

Hush's scent is permeated with herbs and spices. She spends so much time pestling plant material into fine powders while in the presence of numerous dried herbs that she is unable to shake the smell even after the most rigorous of baths.
