Prompt #204
"...and this is the royal garden. Oh look, the prince, what happy happenstance that we should run into him."
The prince looked up from his book, gazing back and forth between the Queen and her puff-sleeved guests for a moment before a line furrowed between his brows.
"Mum, if [woman's name] finds out you're doing tours introducing me to girls again, she's going to be mad."
"[Woman's name]?" a guest asked.
The Queen waved it away. "Nobody, just this silly person who won't stop following him around."
The prince sighed, snapping his book shut as he rose from his bench. "That person is my wife, and her turning out to be a knight and not nobility doesn't make her any less so. No matter how much you pretend otherwise."

Stupid little headcanon.
As Nyx gets older the people in his life slowly start to come to a realization.
Nyx is not like Rhysand, most certainly not. He gets into arguments with his father daily, he refuses to train at the Illyrian camps and doesn't approve of fighting to kill. He doesn't have the snarky, relaxed, flirtatious personality Rhysand has. In fact, he can be quite cold and very sharp. He has a quick wit and fiery tongue, one could say he has a... forked tongue.
He is nothing like Feyre either. He is not outgoing or highly adventurous, all of his soft spots are carefully concealed. He prefers books to painting or going to meetings. And he prefers tasteful ballroom dancing to going out to Rita's and partying.
Nyx is not Feyre or Rhysand.
Nyx is like Nesta.

Will's "Fevered Sweetness"
(gif by @hughdancybabyface)
I've always loved the way Hannibal described Will's sickened scent. He could've used many words that evoked nauseating, acrid or just anything that suggested he didn't like it. But he used "fevered sweetness" and his reaction in that scene makes me feel like it's probably a really intoxicating scent.
So in case anyone wants to know what Will smelled like to Hannibal, in this particular scene, here are some options for perfumes:
One perfume that might embody a "fevered sweetness" is "Flowerbomb" by Viktor & Rolf. Its blend of floral notes, including jasmine and rose, combines with patchouli and a hint of sweetness to create a rich and intense fragrance that could be described as having a fevered sweetness.
Another option could be "La Vie Est Belle" by Lancôme, known for its sweet and gourmand notes like praline and vanilla, contributing to a warm and sweet allure that could evoke a sense of fervor.
Black Orchid by Tom Ford has a blend of black truffle, ylang-ylang, and blackcurrant, combined with warm notes of spice, incense, and patchouli.
Hypnotic Poison by Dior: Vanilla, almond, and caraway create a warm and sweet base, complemented by floral notes like jasmine and tuberose.
Coco Noir by Chanel has a blend of grapefruit, rose, jasmine, and patchouli, enveloped in a warm and woody base of sandalwood and vanilla.
Si Intense by Georgio Armani: With notes of blackcurrant, vanilla, and patchouli, Si Intense maintains warmth while incorporating sweet floral elements.
Keep in mind that scent perceptions can vary.
A fevered or heated quality, can be found with warm and spicy notes, such as: cinnamon, cardamom, ginger, myrrh, black pepper, clove, amber, patchouli, rosemary, benzoin and thyme.
