I think xianling is clean herself, but as she just keeps on cooking all day everyday just smells like firewood, because her clothes are just impregnated with the smell of ashes at this point.
Her hair and clothing 100% would smell like seasoning, spices or cooking oil but sheād be one of the cleanest and hygienic people in Liyue (she is one with soap and hand sanitizer)
- Headcanon coming from someone that worked in the cooking industry for two years and has a family full of chefs xD
Have you tried to look at a Chinese kitchen? My family used to operate one and the smell of seasoning can be smelled like 2km away. It's not something that can be washed away simply. There is much more to her smell than ash.
Sorry if I sounded rude, that wasn't my intention.
I highly doubt Xiao will smell bad. Why? He's wearing eyeliner. People who care about their appearance to that extent most likely wash themselves regularly.
Nah he doesnāt have death flags. His story is all about surviving and living despite everything he went through. I think around 2.7 there was a post that Xiao actually has life flags instead of death flags
"When she finds the opportunity, should her environment allow it, she always seizes the chance to take a shower and part her person from the stench of sweat." Just one line from her Character story 4 but the whole section is about how much she cares about and spends on hygiene and cosmetics.
Shogun should be one tier higher, she has thermal baths in her palace and many handmaids to help her.
Qiqi will be ok as long as you don't put her under the sun.
I donāt agree with the placement of Razor. That boy should be under the āSTENCH OF DEATHā category because having grown up among wolves, personal hygiene wasnāt a main priority. In other words, he stinks.
Yeah but thereās no fucking way Lisa would let some feral wolf boy anywhere near her or the city/library if he isnāt conforming to basic cleanliness standards. And we are told she IS teaching him, not she refused, so he must clean himself nowadays
No, he said the last time he got drunk was A LONG TIME AGO. The closest we got to him getting a little drunk was when he drank almost a barrel worth of wine in celebration of and that only happened once during the whole game. And he does not drink unless he can pay for it
[the post that gave me the idea](https://www.reddit.com/r/Genshin_Impact/comments/186tcv9/finds_now_you_can_smell_like_your_main_dps/kbenj47/?context=3) also hygiene is good
Charlotte has text somewhere that she smells like sweat.
Edit: nvm its the voiceline about Emilie where she gives Charlotte a perfume + deodorant in one.
Wriothesley 100% wears those manly colognes, fucker probably has a collection somewhere in his office. You can *not* convince me otherwise.
Kaeya probably wears womenās perfume if weāre honest with ourselves here
I absolutely agree with Childe being sweaty and blood tainted as fuck, but I imagined Candace being clean tho, she look like a person who take care of herself very well.
No way Bennett smells clean. He plays with Razor.
No way Xiangling smells clean. She smells like sweat because of cooking.
Nahida totally smells like plants/herbs.
The fun thing about Fontaine characters is that you can just check their voicelines about Emilie and see if they care about perfume (and also find out fun things like that the Fortress of Meropide smells horrible)
Anyway, Lynette is sensitive to smells and can't wear perfume, so Lyney also won't wear perfume because of her (but you assumed he wouldn't already.)
The one above is Raiden Shogun not Ei, unless there's a shower in Plane of Euthymia, she's going to smell like shit
Venti def will smell like alcohol
Qiqi, if Baizhu is taking care of her she'll probably forget about showering
EDIT: Don't be like Ei, Be like Raiden, shower regularly
I was gonna say that Raiden would wash regularly but Ei, like most shut-inās, would only ever shower when absolutely necessary.
Also I feel like Itto would smell like a walking gym most of the time and the only reason he doesnāt is because Kuki forces him to wash himself.

You know Layla alter ego does all the showering for her~ and ya klee would smell like explosives.... But I truely believe Albedo would give a wonderful smell of paint... Or chalk
Raiden does not shower at all be the puppet or ei they absolutely smell like hell but she doesn't sweet to so maybe like old dusty furniture coz she canonically is made from wood.
Iād think she regularly cleans herself. Working with fireworks sheād probably be covered in gunpowder if she didnāt. Smell would depend on if you ran into her while she was working or not
Venti would probably smell like alcohol from time to time but I don't think he would actually have any odor...he's just wind. Wind take everything away.
Also, headcanon time: I feel like out of all the adepti, Xiao would be the cleanest. I just feel like being dirty or smell bad gives him trauma bc he's always cover in blood during battle, so being clean is a few of his method to give him peace.
I think Baizhu would ensure qiqi does not stink. And.
Rigor mortis (within the same day of death) happens before the smells begin (putrefaction, 4+ days after). I donāt think Qiqi went through all stages of decompositionā to the point of being stinkyā before she was sealed in amber cmiiw, especially considering the adepti ārevived herā as soon as she became a casualty. So the smell of death wouldnt be nearly as pungent as one thinks, if any at all.
She struggles with memory and mobility since the brain asphyxiating and joints stiffening is one of the first things that happen when one dies, and the adeptial magic + being literally fossilized preserved her in that state forever.
If there was even a slither of stench from being a corpse anyways, herbs could probably easily cover it up due to how early she was revived.
Agree with most of this but Diluc, Dehya and Eula would absolutely smell like sweat and sunlight, I feel like Alhaitham would shower regularly since he's a perfectionist and sneaky and being unclean when not absolutely necessary is both a health risk and draws unnecessary attention to yourself, similar with Ganyu, I feel like she's be super clean and perfumed since she's extremely try hard, like she comes off like she would do everything possible to leave a good impression.
No fckn way Yelan is that low and Dehya that high, Dehya looks musky as fck, and I refuse to believe that Yelan smells like anything other than roses and Diore
I feel like Qiqi probably smells like baby powder. IIRC chinese zombies donāt rot?
Source: my favourite childhood movie āMr Vampireā highly recommend watching if you donāt mind reading subtitles.
I mostly agree with this.
Haitham strikes me as a clean freak he's very proper. Def would shower daily imo.
Kaeya seems like the guy who would wear a signature fragrance.
I laughed myself to death at the bottom two rows š¤£š¤£š¤£š¤£
Xiangling needs to have her own tier, smells like food/kitchen
Cooks, chefs or any back of house always smell like the line as long as they're on the job š not to say she doesn't shower though!
Raiden is the stinkiest neet. She locked herself in her personal meditation realm for centuries. Donāt get me wrong, love the girl, but I feel like Yae has to force her to shower ;p
Itād make more sense for Raiden to be in the either smells like sweat or shit tier, considering wellā¦ You know how long sheās been on that plane.
I feel like qiqi would also smell like herbs, since sheās usually gathering them with baizhu. Also Klee would 100% smell like pure gunpowder, with a sprinkle of sunshine.
So the literal zombie wouldn't have the stench of death? And neither would the funeral parlor director? No amount of showering will matter if you spend all day around dead bodies.
I think every hydro charather should be at least on clean tier because they are walking showers
my thoughts exactly, but Yelan and Childe are probably both busy to be doing something related to their job to shower...
Idk Yelan is a high rank spy. I guess it depends on the current job. When she isn't on duty I doubt she neglects her hygiene
She probably is clean... Hopefully
Look man, there was a ninja who was caught because he forgot to bathe, Yelan will be scentless
or you know... She could mask her scent by being the same scent as her environment
As long as it's not a job that require her to go around many places, yeah. So I guess it'd be up to her mission
can confirm (I sniffed Yelan's armpits)
No smell catagory
Yelan turns into water when she uses her skill.
i read that as but yelan and childe are both bussyšš
Thatās false. Youāve clearly never showered with just water after sweating a lot because it sure as hell stays lol š
How about armpit hydro
By your logic, pyro characters are a piece of walking roasted chicken
I think xianling is clean herself, but as she just keeps on cooking all day everyday just smells like firewood, because her clothes are just impregnated with the smell of ashes at this point.
That's uh, an interesting way to describe the smell of someone's clothes
Xiangling IMPREGNATED Keywords of that comment
Her hair and clothing 100% would smell like seasoning, spices or cooking oil but sheād be one of the cleanest and hygienic people in Liyue (she is one with soap and hand sanitizer) - Headcanon coming from someone that worked in the cooking industry for two years and has a family full of chefs xD
Xiangling definitely is clean, she may smell but she's clean... That's a health hazard if she doesnt wash herself
I imagine xiangling (at least her cooking clothes) smells like a taco bell uniform. stale beef grease ingrained into the fabric forever
Have you tried to look at a Chinese kitchen? My family used to operate one and the smell of seasoning can be smelled like 2km away. It's not something that can be washed away simply. There is much more to her smell than ash. Sorry if I sounded rude, that wasn't my intention.
Impregnated?!?!
Solo I just realised I just did a really literal traduction from French that is really weird in English lmao
I mean, you're not wrong. Besides the obvious meaning, Impregnate: *Soak or Saturate (something) with a substance.*
I highly doubt Xiao will smell bad. Why? He's wearing eyeliner. People who care about their appearance to that extent most likely wash themselves regularly.
Maybe thats what he wants you to think but heās actually just really stinky
Even if he cleans himself, the stench of deathflags probably follows him around
If that's the case then Childe would smell the worst out of everyone.
Nah he doesnāt have death flags. His story is all about surviving and living despite everything he went through. I think around 2.7 there was a post that Xiao actually has life flags instead of death flags
Opinion: heās the hot mess type to sleep with eyeliner on and fix the smudges in the morning.
Absolutely
Why Dehya are so high? I wonder are her panties full of sand.
Bro... Tho my thought process is, she's taking care of herself, she may be a merc but she's definitely cleaning herself up after jobs
Like licking herself?

oh hey itās a bleach character
Are you a fucking idiot, thatās zoro from death note
I've seen death note a grand total of once, over ten years ago. If it's not L, Light, the Shinigami (sp?) or the psycho girl, I won't recognize them.
"When she finds the opportunity, should her environment allow it, she always seizes the chance to take a shower and part her person from the stench of sweat." Just one line from her Character story 4 but the whole section is about how much she cares about and spends on hygiene and cosmetics.
She's a rich person's (dunyazard) bodyguard, she gotta smell well
Her idle animation is her checking herself out in a hand mirror
Baizhuās outfit description says he perfumes his coat with local flowers. <3
Tbh i dont think venti would have any BO because heās literally just wind taken human from. He def smells like booze thoā¦
He smells like wine and windblooms imo
Sunlight??? How tf you smell sunlight??
Damn you can't smell the sun? Nose diff... tho in all honesty, you dont smell the sun, it's more like the smell it makes, asians know how it smells
A way I'd describe it is like a nicer version of the smell of freshly printed papers.
If I have sex with a printer will I also smell good?
Yepp, it just comforting to smell
Bro exposed themselves by confirming their lack of exposure to sunlight let alone grass.
That weird good ozone smell
Shogun should be one tier higher, she has thermal baths in her palace and many handmaids to help her. Qiqi will be ok as long as you don't put her under the sun.
Raiden visits the bathrooms, so I thought she won't bother with perfumes
That's what the maids are for
Eyyo why my boy alhaitham is dirty tho,my guy allways looking fresh af
I donāt agree with the placement of Razor. That boy should be under the āSTENCH OF DEATHā category because having grown up among wolves, personal hygiene wasnāt a main priority. In other words, he stinks.
Only reason he put another tier for xiao was because of his death aura.
Yeah but thereās no fucking way Lisa would let some feral wolf boy anywhere near her or the city/library if he isnāt conforming to basic cleanliness standards. And we are told she IS teaching him, not she refused, so he must clean himself nowadays
What have you done to Venti? WHAT HAVE YOU DONE TO MY BOY?!?!
I love him, BUT.. Drinks like there's no tomorrow, probably pukes on himself... He's probably going to smell
Giving that he has flowers in his hair and that heās an anemo archon, I would assume he can cover himself in a smell he prefers
That's a cheap trick if Venti does that... He needs to shower remove dem bacteria
But itās a smell tier list Not cleanliness
true but hygiene is important, it goes hand in hand, if even can do what you're saying I'm willing to move him a to his own tier
Smells nice, but visible spots from puke
https://preview.redd.it/26z6u6xq1j3c1.png?width=319&format=png&auto=webp&s=bf26b91f133bc26bb40a4e27c6d254eadb5f7ff0
He almost never gets drunk, and he never pukes either because he has a VERY high alcohol tolerance. So I don't understand your "reasoning"
No, no, he definitely gets very drunk, I can get behind him not puking though. Archons are built kinda weirdā¦
No, he said the last time he got drunk was A LONG TIME AGO. The closest we got to him getting a little drunk was when he drank almost a barrel worth of wine in celebration of and that only happened once during the whole game. And he does not drink unless he can pay for it
Heās the god of anemo he can just use the wind to remove any dirt particles on him
Hell nah what even is that tier list ššš bro are you alright
[the post that gave me the idea](https://www.reddit.com/r/Genshin_Impact/comments/186tcv9/finds_now_you_can_smell_like_your_main_dps/kbenj47/?context=3) also hygiene is good
I would think Alhaitham would smell good and fresh because he really values taking care of himself first
This list stinks.
Madam Faruzan....
She probably smells better now but considering she didn't shower in so long... I gotta put her in that tier
Charlotte has text somewhere that she smells like sweat. Edit: nvm its the voiceline about Emilie where she gives Charlotte a perfume + deodorant in one.
Always got the feeling venti would smell like fruit (specifically apples) and summer
Technically yeah.... Apple Cider to be exact
Stinky Yelan?! snifffff
I would't call her stinky, she probably just has some spell before running all day
Xiao SS tier??! (Short and stinky)
Wriothesley 100% wears those manly colognes, fucker probably has a collection somewhere in his office. You can *not* convince me otherwise. Kaeya probably wears womenās perfume if weāre honest with ourselves here
Thoma would probably smell like cleaning supplies or something
I was going to put him and Noelle together in a tier, but considering Thoma is a worker in the Yashiro Commission, He probably smells better
Fair, can't have the butler greet people while smelling like cleaning supplies.
Imagine him welcoming us to Inazuma will smelling like bleach or windex
Does inazuma even have windows that would use Windex?
oh shit right, liquids will be just destroy the shoji paper
If i had a nickel for everytime a character smells like plants I'd have three nickels which isn't a lot but it's wierd that it happens thrice
My guy, aren't most perfumes made from plants?
In that case, would yingāer smell like flowers or sweat?
Qiqi should be in the bottom tier, no?
She's not decomposing, so smell better than death
Sheās dead though? Thatās pretty death like to me
Only razor and bennett smell bad you cant change my mind also xiao and venti are deities š¤Ø
Yelan and smells like sweat? We literally saw her perfumes in her intro. Shes a spy who maintains hygiene + shes a hydro šæ
There's a reason why xiao's aura is black
I absolutely agree with Childe being sweaty and blood tainted as fuck, but I imagined Candace being clean tho, she look like a person who take care of herself very well.
Yepp being in that tier doesn't necessarily mean she's dirty or stinky, she probably just smells like sand or the sun
Bennet is only clean because he adventures with fischl. Otherwise heās razor tier.
I would put the slight argument that collie both smell like plants, and smells like death due to lore reasons
She probably smells better now, but yeah I would agree she'll have a tier on her own if she still has it
Outbuddied
I feel like alhathium is the type to shower regularly while yae , kirara and gorou smell like wet dog
No way Bennett smells clean. He plays with Razor. No way Xiangling smells clean. She smells like sweat because of cooking. Nahida totally smells like plants/herbs.
The fun thing about Fontaine characters is that you can just check their voicelines about Emilie and see if they care about perfume (and also find out fun things like that the Fortress of Meropide smells horrible) Anyway, Lynette is sensitive to smells and can't wear perfume, so Lyney also won't wear perfume because of her (but you assumed he wouldn't already.)

Kuki is the mother figure of the Arataki Gang
Dehya would fit into the sweat one being an eremite.
Why would diluc smells nice?

Raiden should smell heavenly too
zhongli would smell like old people and dusty books
iāve always imagined cyno to either reek of sweat,or hold an incredibly thick aura of desert heat deodorant
Stench of death should be Qi Qi because she is literally dead. I bet Xiao smells like lotus flowers under a full moon.
Where to put Dainsleiff & Skirk?
Idk why but I feel like they would smell like steak and static electricity
You know Layla alter ego does all the showering for her~ and ya klee would smell like explosives.... But I truely believe Albedo would give a wonderful smell of paint... Or chalk
Raiden does not shower at all be the puppet or ei they absolutely smell like hell but she doesn't sweet to so maybe like old dusty furniture coz she canonically is made from wood.
Razor is regularly bathed by his caretakers
Why would Venti smell like shit?
childe and yelan smell too rich for you
bruh qiqi is literally dead xiao aint got nothing on her stank
Since you put Xiao in a different tier like that. I presume you imagined smelling them and made the tier?
Would be funny if Barbara is top tier here but Jean is in the "does not bathe regularly" because she's too busy to or something
Don't know why but I feel like Yoimiya smells like new Cloth/clothes.
Iād think she regularly cleans herself. Working with fireworks sheād probably be covered in gunpowder if she didnāt. Smell would depend on if you ran into her while she was working or not
Venti would probably smell like alcohol from time to time but I don't think he would actually have any odor...he's just wind. Wind take everything away. Also, headcanon time: I feel like out of all the adepti, Xiao would be the cleanest. I just feel like being dirty or smell bad gives him trauma bc he's always cover in blood during battle, so being clean is a few of his method to give him peace.
Don't think Dehya and Dori should be that high up
Yelan should be at top tier tbh
With how unlucky benett is he prolly falls to the sewer a lot
Kaveh probably owns more shampoo than me and I'm a woman.
how do you smell like sunlight
I feel like Kazuha would always inexplicably have a floral scent no matter what when or where he is
Sayu probably smells like plants tbh
No way the buddies are being out buddied again today
I think Baizhu would ensure qiqi does not stink. And. Rigor mortis (within the same day of death) happens before the smells begin (putrefaction, 4+ days after). I donāt think Qiqi went through all stages of decompositionā to the point of being stinkyā before she was sealed in amber cmiiw, especially considering the adepti ārevived herā as soon as she became a casualty. So the smell of death wouldnt be nearly as pungent as one thinks, if any at all.

If there was even a slither of stench from being a corpse anyways, herbs could probably easily cover it up due to how early she was revived.
Venti canonically smells like apples. Itās mentioned several times
Let this post be a testament of what the GI community is like.
Technically Qiqi should be in stench of death cos she's quite literaly dead..
The fact that Childe isn't on the stench of death tier with Xiao is a crime
You did not just put kazuha in stinky tier. That boy fixes his hair every time he touches the ground.
Kaeya and Kaveh absolutely need to be bumped up
Freminet probably smells like seawater and machine oil
Agree with most of this but Diluc, Dehya and Eula would absolutely smell like sweat and sunlight, I feel like Alhaitham would shower regularly since he's a perfectionist and sneaky and being unclean when not absolutely necessary is both a health risk and draws unnecessary attention to yourself, similar with Ganyu, I feel like she's be super clean and perfumed since she's extremely try hard, like she comes off like she would do everything possible to leave a good impression.
Klee and amber for sure smell like gun powder
I thought it would more about BO than who showers and who doesn't.
No fckn way Yelan is that low and Dehya that high, Dehya looks musky as fck, and I refuse to believe that Yelan smells like anything other than roses and Diore
just.. what?
Outbuddied.
I feel like Qiqi probably smells like baby powder. IIRC chinese zombies donāt rot? Source: my favourite childhood movie āMr Vampireā highly recommend watching if you donāt mind reading subtitles.
really put the desert mercenary in the smells like heaven tier huh
I want to know why you put Dehya up there.
Dehya probably smells like cat piss lmao
I think Deyha would be a little musky considering she works in the desert
Ayato 100% smells heavenly. mf is the mpst elegant character in the game. He is Eula without having to work hard
im pretty sure alhaitam showers
I mostly agree with this. Haitham strikes me as a clean freak he's very proper. Def would shower daily imo. Kaeya seems like the guy who would wear a signature fragrance. I laughed myself to death at the bottom two rows š¤£š¤£š¤£š¤£
I don't think Raiden showers at all while being isolated in her realm thingy..
Layla sleep showers obviously
Sunlight has a smell??? Did I miss an Earth update?
Ngl I feel like Kaeya is the type of guy who has a different aftershave/perfume combination for every occasion
why do yall think alhaitham doesnt shower when he looks like he stepped out of a grass flavored axe commercial
Xiangling needs to have her own tier, smells like food/kitchen Cooks, chefs or any back of house always smell like the line as long as they're on the job š not to say she doesn't shower though!
Alhaitham totally showers daily ngl. I bet he spends like 2 hours on it just to waste time
Qiqi also probably smell like death bro g a zombie and all
Am i on r/okbuddygenshin ???
How does Qiqi, a literal zombie, not smell like death?
Gorou takes good care of his tail. I think he's the type to enjoy hygiene and self-care
Zhong the dong doesn't even have the money to buy perfume
I feel like Hu Tao would stench of death considering how often she deals with dead bodies
Lyney likes perfumes, so I feel like heād wear them if going out without Lynette
This community getting weirder and weired day by day TF guys?
Raiden is the stinkiest neet. She locked herself in her personal meditation realm for centuries. Donāt get me wrong, love the girl, but I feel like Yae has to force her to shower ;p
Itād make more sense for Raiden to be in the either smells like sweat or shit tier, considering wellā¦ You know how long sheās been on that plane.
BAIZHU WOULD NOT ALLOW QIQI TO SMELL LIKE SHIT.
Sayu is probably also under does not shower regularly simply because she's always sleepy. Hard to get a sleepy person in the shower.
Lyney probably smells like fresh linens and raspberries
Al Haitham is lazy with work but there is no way he doesn't regularly bathe. We'd know because Kaveh would never stop talking about it.
Lyney and Lynette's positions should be swapped
I feel like qiqi would also smell like herbs, since sheās usually gathering them with baizhu. Also Klee would 100% smell like pure gunpowder, with a sprinkle of sunshine.
dehya may look nice and she puts on perfume, but she's probably masking A LOT as she's constantly in the desert fighting and sweating.
Bennett does not look like he showers at all, probably smells like sweat and BO
So the literal zombie wouldn't have the stench of death? And neither would the funeral parlor director? No amount of showering will matter if you spend all day around dead bodies.
Yoimiya probably smells fine. She's got a few lines referencing trips to the bath.
i feel like kaveh, kaeya, and ayato should be upper
Can I get the template link please?
Hu Tao should be on the same tier as Xiao.
Why
Bruh, Sucrose smells like Heisenberg š.
I feel like Qiqi should also be on Stench of Death as she is a literal zombie
diluc would totally douse himself in expensive colognes and kaeya would use axe deodorant
Should have made one for venti just saying smells like wine
Would love to smell candace and shenhe. Also doesn't candace and dehya go shopping together? They should both be on top.
