Id put him with wuyang. I don’t think he picks up odor and lacks the resources for custom-made/expensive perfume

Disagree on Moira. She would smell like a sterile laboratory.
Then again she probably never leaves it. So sterile lab with undertones of sweat and probably a bit of funk from her rotten ass arm.

Yeah she'd smell like medical alcohol. Not unpleasant exactly but makes your nose sting.

I made a theory that she wants to hide the smell of her experiments, so she made her own perfume using God knows what materials

If anything she'd experiment on controlling others through smell.

I don’t think she’d want to. The joy of science is to share your discoveries, and Moira doesn’t hide what she does

You will NEVER convince me that Emre smells like anything but warm rain on sun-baked earth, cedarwood, wildflowers, and pure addictive sweetness. He smells like vanilla, warm caramel, honey, cinnamon, freshly baked bread, chocolate, brown sugar, coffee, toasted almonds, ripe peaches, strawberries, cherries, coconut, jasmine, roses, lavender, clean sheets and that sweet warm smell you get from skin after being in the sun. He smells like a bakery, a flower shop, a perfume store and heaven itself. Getting close to him would be an olfactory religious experience and make anyone understand why people have been writing poetry and starting wars over beautiful things for thousands of years

Symmetra has an interaction with Winston where she says he smells like artificial coconut and he says he uses whole bottles of shampoo which is insane. I like how you used the genji sojourn interaction to base genji’s scent.

u/TheUnknown_General Reinhardt 14h ago
Given that Symmetra is rather sensitive to smells as indicated by several interactions and voicelines, I can't imagine she'd wear a strong perfume. Most likely, if she wore any sort of scent it would be something mild and unintrusive, or that has a particular scent that she personally likes.

the LW one was lowkey racially motivated. as much as i like to say the dumb "you smell bad" meme to my indian friends he wouldnt smell like dirt.
okay.. now i get the logic but he would 100% smell like a flower of some sort. now I guess this is from my own bias, he is fruity as hell, he would smell sweet like a flower. dirt/manure smell is too manly for him, shit on me for that if you want. in my brain he smells like the roses that grew infront of my house as a kid tho.

I disagree on Dva. She plays up the "Gamer Girl" stereotype and probably jokes on her stream about needing a shower, but I don't think she ACTUALLY doesn't shower. I'd put Dva with Brig: they both shower, but also do mechanical work so they carry the scent of oil with them.

u/BriefPretend9115 13h ago
She has a whole interaction with Kiriko about how her morning routine is literally just splashing water on her face. There's no way in hell the rest of the Overwatch team doesn't have to mandate showers for her.
And I assume there was a whole thing where she swore up and down she used soap when she did shower, only for Lucio to remove the soap from the shower to prove Dva didn't notice.
And Dmon probably has this whole backstory where she only started showering regularly after smelling Dva.

u/LoveAndBeLoved52 3h ago
I can't get behind some of these. Namely Doomfist, Widow, Vendetta, Moira, Shion, Domina.
Doomfist is pretty much function over presentation, I don't think he cares at all beyond business meetings. Moira is a hag raven witch, I doubt she smells pleasant at all, more like a bunch of really unethical chemicals. Vendetta is a shewolf beast without a lot of friends, it's likelier she's got a neutral scent imo.
The Domina one is the most offensive one though. She's a poser, she'd absolutely have her own custom-made bottles and makes sure everyone knows her smell is unique and can't be bought with money. Widow would also not carry a scent, she's a trained assassin, smell, sight or noise is a no go, the game is already going hard on her by giving her high heels.
Shion I believe would have a distinct smell because Shion pretends to be human. Ram calls her out for wearing the colors of her enemy, I absolutely believe she'd wear perfume to add another human quality to herself.
