#Fragrant Powders

#Anyone worthy of note has attended the Fortunatus Ball at one point or another, and few can forget the wonderful fragrances that fill each of the three main halls of the event. Fewer know that these scents are newly designed every year, making each Ball a unique event that can never be repeated.

The production engines for these fragrances are usually regarded with utmost secrecy, but I have received special permission from the Lady Clara Soria herself to reproduce a certain historic set. Many years ago the Fortunatus Ball was crudely interrupted when Verrin Ravari, Head Alchemist of House Colvan, assassinated his own patriarch in a sad and ultimately fruitless attempt to gain control. Luckily, the errant alchemist was immediately apprehended and jailed, though it was too late to save the heir to House Colvan.

By recreating these aromas, one can almost travel back in time to relive these dramatic events.
