What do you think elves smell like? The full-sized Sidhe or Alfar or Tolkien kind, not the wee faaaaairies.

No, what do your elves eat.

I know what I think elves smell like.

I think they probably smell mostly like people, but bathe more often. The ones that eat a lot of lembas bread smell like lembas bread. Probably they smell like alcohol after 5 PM. They are outside a lot, so probably they have that fresh air smell in their hair. I imagine an elf that has been busy fighting or running around shooting people with his bow and arrow or skidding around skateboard style on bits of flotsam could get kind of rank. I'll bet they smell really bad after a bean burrito. ;-)

My pets always have a different smell when they sleep. Maybe elves have a "sleepy elf" smell, just like dogs have a "sleepy doggy" smell and kitties have a "sleepy kitty smell". (Wait, scratch that last. Kitties are *always* sleepy.

I just sniffed my cat, and she smells like freshly cut grass.
