Hello! May I request how the VDL boys would smell like. If you were to grab a jacket or a shirt from them and smell it, how would they smell? What’s their natural smell? Thank you! I love your account so much and I’m sure we all appreciate your time ❤️
Right so I’ve been going into photomode and sniffing each gang member and this is what I’ve came up with
Arthur
That rich, almost smoky scent of leather
A refreshing smell of vanilla he gets when he’s been out of camp for a while that makes you wanna huff his shirt
A faint smell of sweat that you only get every once in a while
Dutch
A basic cologne that you can smell no matter where you are in camp
Warmth
A heavy smell of tree trunks that doesn’t seem authentic
Charles
Clean air
Freshly cut grass on an early Spring morning
That smell from new carpets and rugs that’s very addicting
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
varnish
