[Location] Scintillating Scents

[Creeper]

When one enters the shop, the scents of flowers and perfumes of all varieties envelops them in a welcoming embrace. The shop is filled from wall to wall with plants and flowers of all varieties, some native to The Spires, some hailing from far off lands. Butterflies flit through the air, allowed to roam free here to help with pollination. Sunlight filters down through skylights in the roof, and the walls are filled with endless windows that are usually kept wide open, giving the feeling that one is still outdoors. After navigating through the indoor gardens, around colorful plants of all varieties, the main shop can be found. Here shelves display potted plants for sale, and clay jars of perfumes and other mixtures made from flowers and plant life. Free samples of the common scents are available for those curious what is best for them, or the florist who runs the shop is always glad to use her Konti Gift, sensing what drives a person and choosing a scent for them that fits their personality. In addition to perfumes and potted plants, the shop offers a variety of floral arrangements for weddings and celebrations. Special philters made from plant extracts are also available upon request.   Tika Name: Tika Race: Konti DoB: 24th Day of Summer, 445 AV PoB: Mura Title: Owner and Proprietor of Scintillating Scents Skills: Perfumery 57, Philtering 52, Floristry 40, Herbalism 39, Medicine 27 Tika was born and raised on the White Isle, spending her younger years there learning about plants, herbs, and the properties of all the things that grow from the soil. She developed a great love for both the beauty of plant life and the practical uses of plant extracts. She studied everything from the arrangement of flowers for aesthetic purposes, to medical uses of plants, and the creation of philters and perfumes. Her artistic personality always lent her towards the more aesthetic uses, though she learned enough about medicine to get by. As she grew older, she felt a calling to travel, and was eventually drawn to the grand forests of Taldera, where she began studying the exotic plant life that was so different from that of her island home. She spent years traveling to different settlements in Taldera, learning different methods and studying the plants native to each area. Eventually she settled in the Spires, and it has been her home ever since. Tika's Konti Gift gives her the ability to see someone's passion, though it is mostly an intangible sense. She often uses it to get a feel for what scent someone will prefer, and can recommend an appropriate perfume, cologne, or plant to suit the person's tastes. A stronger person may be better suited with a bold scent, a kind soul may prefer a more gentle floral scent, or an energetic person may prefer a strong citrus, each depending on their passions and desires.   Employment And Training Positions Available Philterer (Perfume Maker) = 7 GM/day Florist (Artistic Floral Arrangements) = 4 GM/day Clerk = 3 GM/day Gardener = 3 GM/day Training Available Perfumery Philtering Floristry Herbalism   Prices Herbalist/Botanist's Toolkit: 20 gm Perfumes and Cosmetics Type Common Unusual Rare Exotic Perfumes 1 sm–1 gm/oz 2–10 gm/oz. 11–25 gm/oz. 26–50+ gm/oz.
