Faputa (played by GU7TMUNCH3RZ)

Faputa is described as having the scent of the sun, which would be a mix of the sun and baked sweet potatoes
Gunpowder and blood, all wrapped up with the scent of fresh tropical air, sunshine, dirt and sand. Add in a little crazy, if it has a scent. It's interesting, amigo.
Varian Rüdiger (played anonymously)

Varian would probably smell like various chemicals, hot chocolate, whatever a raccoon smells like, ham and a hint of smoke.
Drago (played by Dragothemonk)

Drago would probably smell of Acidic poison and damp forest smells.
Already described in bio

Helium and sweet potatoes? Interesting......
Cassandra (played anonymously)

Cassandra, from my research, has viking breath according to Hook Foot, so she has some Viking Breath. XD

But in my opinion, aside from the canon knowledge of her so far...

I think she would smell like Sword Polish, Metal, Rapunzel's Perfume (because she puts it on Rapunzel, since Lady-in-Waiting and all...) and the faint smell of a horse.
Ahlam Valaide (played by CallMeCrazy)

Smells like freshly cleaned linen with a faint hint of cedar wood since he only wears Imperial Majesty having own 5 of the only 10 bottles ever made.
Angelique McArthur (played by Bathorys_Sin)

Smells like tangerines and grapefruits sprinkled with sugar, warm and a bit zesty.
Ahlam Valaide (played by CallMeCrazy)

"That sounds., divine really. That scent should be bottled and sold if it isn't already a perfume."
Werewolves (played by PinkBrat)

A mixture between pine and peppermint with a hint of floral. - Dasha
Drago (played by Dragothemonk)

oh Pine is Drago's favorite tree to snack on and peppermint is always yummy!
Big Blue (played by Samiakki)

The scent of a rusalka usually depends on the type of rusalka one is dealing with. In Blue's case, which is the case of sea rusalki, she smells dreadfully of fish and saltwater. Perhaps what one would expect of a piscine pseudo-spirit, anyway. However, due to sea rusalki's natural salt regulation in their body, their muscle tissue soaks up their body's urea instead of expelling it, much like how a Waking Realm's shark's waste system works. Most unfortunate of all is the fact this makes them periodically smell more unpleasant than your average fish.

The scent of a shark is possibly a comforting scent to the right people. She would like to hope so; it's doubtful she would consider it a compliment to be told she smells 'stinky.' At least, it would confuse her profoundly. Are those her natural pheromones? Do other rusalki think she smells odd? Are humanoids' olfactory senses even that developed?
To look at Bandit, the massively tattooed and infamous pirate, one would think he smells like wet dog and bad decisions. In reality, his scent is as warm and comforting as his embrace. He smells of spiced bourbon, aged oak, and Madagascar vanilla. Not too sweet, not too spicy.
Ash, smoke and the smell of Pine is what I think Seymour would smell like.
Rezso Drexler (played by TroyLocke)

The scent of Rezso is powerful and primal, a potent blend of musk, earth, and animal. It is heady and intoxicating, evoking a sense of wildness and raw power. Mixed with the aroma of freshly cut redwoods, it takes on a woody and earthy quality, with a hint of green and dampness. The combination of these scents creates an olfactory experience that is hard to miss.
Xander Brown (played anonymously)

Those who know will know, but coca butter with that underlying hint of earthy pine.
Overall, it's clear that you have put a lot of effort into developing your character and their story, and the use of scent as a tool for building atmosphere and symbolism is a great example of how small details can have a big impact on characterization.

Jack's profile just lists her scent as "paraffin oil, smoke", the result of her occupation as a theatrical firebreather. But in play, I tend to go a here. deeper with this. Jack has little care for her health. She's reckless, driven by greed and gluttony, less interested in her well-being and more interested in wealth. She tends to smell like her environment: something gritty and urban in modern settings, or earthy and unclean in medieval, given the fact she sleeps outside and doesn't bathe as much as a person really ought to. She always carries a sort of oily, smoky, acidic (alcoholic) aroma around her to match a caustic, unpleasant, sometimes dangerous personality.

One might wonder what a Genie could smell like. Usually, they’re simply puffs of smoke. Reagan, however, gives off the scent of spice. Cinnamon and apples trail this genie, giving off a pleasing aroma that pulls in those around her.
