How to Order
Reducio
1) Read the shop rules, then select which product you want.
2) Fill out the corresponding order form (see below) for the product, and post it in the thread below.
3) If you want an unusual, wacky, or even outlandish scent description for your character, write it in the “special request” section of your order. Go wild, too–within site guidelines, of course! If you want your character to smell like mayonnaise, then who am I to stop you?
4) Turn-around-time is currently several days due to an increase in IRL busyness.
5) I will tag you when your order is ready and list the price. You will then pay by donation–or pay nothing if you’re a first year (yay!)
6) After you’ve paid, I will deliver your customized scent description and how it matches your character in the form of an owl. Once your order is received, you can post it anywhere you like (your encyclopedia, a roleplay of you trying the scent for the first time, etc) with credit given.
7) Post-order, feel free to rate your experience in the shop thread!

1) If you decide to post your unique perfume creation anywhere, please credit me in your post! I work hard to come up with unique and engaging scent descriptions to match your character's profile and personality.
2) No refunds once orders are delivered, as I don’t have the ability to donate back your sickles. If you have any questions, or if you'd like to check in/preview your scent as I’m creating it, you can send me an owl, I can show you what I have so far, and you can respond with feedback.
3) All scent and scent names must follow site guidelines. No references to extreme violence, sex, profanity, drugs/alcohol (including tobacco), body secretions (ie blood), lewd humor, or other disturbing/controversial topics. Ex. If your character is obsessed with vampires, a vampire-themed scent called “Love at First Bite” would be fine. However, blood cannot be included in the scent profile, and the name cannot reference detailed and disturbing acts of violence. Butterbeer, however, would be fine as a requested scent.

Deluxe
Name: Renelle Dalton
Year: Year 1
House: Ravenclaw
Pronouns: She/her
Personality (3+ words):ReducioHobbies/Interests/Obsessions (as many as you like): Pranks, her pet JeffRenelle isn’t a very sociable person. She is more inclined to follow her head than her heart, and sometimes comes off as rather cold and arrogant when people first meet her. She dislikes social interactions, and does her best to avoid them.
Of course, Renelle can be very nice when she wants to, she just doesn’t see the need to be friendly and bubbly to every single person she meets. Make no mistake, though- Renelle is very loyal to those she loves, and would do anything for them.
Most of the time, she brushes off small incidents, like if you spill something on her books or run into her, but if you do something do make Renelle mad at you, she will remember it forever, and get back at you when you least expect it.
Renelle is quite intelligent, but hates studying. She’s smart enough to at least pass with a little bit of last-minute effort, though. If she wanted, she could probably be one of the best students in the grade, but she doesn’t care that much, since she knows the first grade doesn’t really matter. She is competitive, though, and if you challenge her, she will do her best to destroy you.

Reducio
Ara is pretty quiet, intense, and other words to describe thst but she's a loyal friend. She has RBF and that's what's keeping people away from her. Ara doesn't really care about most things and mostly zones out especially in her first year but she's learnt to stop doing it that much. She prefers to be alone but sometimes approaches people when they peak her interest. She's lively when giving insults. Her most common mood is boredom. Ara barely gets sleep, maybe signs of insomnia. She has a tendency to sleep for about 4 or not at all.
With the people she's close with, like her siblings. She's open and talks more, that's when her sarcasm shines through. But with others, she's her normal, quiet old self. Ara is also quite formal when meeting people and she hates social gatherings because they are too much for her.
Her parents usually force her to make friends but Ara does the bare minimum in those conversations until something peaks her interest. She is smart too, and makes the most logical decisions mainly. She is good at figuring things out and doing thigns without getting caught.

Deluxe
Name: Verena Elara Flores
Year: First
House: Hufflepuff
Pronouns: she/they
Personality (3+ words):
ReducioVerena is a bright and spontaneous girl by nature. She is known to be filled with energy and spirit whether it is 5 in the morning or 11 at night. Vera doesn't do well with sitting in one place for too long. She easily gets stir-crazy and prefers to be up and moving whenever possible.
Her thirst for adventure often lands her in less-than-fortunate situations.Vera is far too daring for her own good. She often chooses to disregard potential threats and consequences in favor of an adrenaline rush.
Verena has a major martyr complex. As an oldest child, she sees herself as having a responsibility for the happiness and well-being of others and therefore needs to self-sacrifice in order to keep them satisfied. Verena is an entertainer. She is a natural extrovert who talks to new people and lots of types of people easily. It is her goal to get along with everyone.
Vera often finds herself tempted by the theatrical. She loves to tell stories, some true and some not. Over the course of her life, she has found that the more fanciful her tales, the more attention she gets from her audience. It is a worthwhile trade-off, changing a few measly facts into bigger, better ones, right?
Emotionally, Vera sees herself as someone far more mature than she actually is. She believes that she is fully capable of giving advice and supporting everyone around her when she does not know that much about herself yet or the greater world yet.
Verena is a naive individual who tends to make quick decisions that she later grows to regret. Verena tends to stray from the rule-following path. She loves adventure and, as long as there is no obvious reason why she can't do something, she's probably going to try it out at least once.
Hobbies/Interests/Obsessions: Music, dancing, fashion, spending time outside, muggle cartoons
