About this item

Art of the perfumers who fought in the Shattering.

Craftable with a perfume bottle.

Uses FP to broadly scatter sparks in a wide arc straight ahead.

Though fire was prohibited to those who served the Erdtree, this rule was forgotten as the war drew ever on.

Crafting after obtaining Perfumer's Cookbook [1]

Altus Plateau

Starting Site of Grace: Abandoned Coffin

Before you go

• Crafting Kit
• Perfumer's Cookbook [1]
• Empty Perfume Bottle
• Ingredients per batch: 1 Altus Bloom and 1 Miranda Powder

1. From Abandoned Coffin, head northwest to Perfumer's Ruins.
2. Approach the ruined courtyard carefully. Perfumers, plants and an Omenkiller guard the area.
3. Find the table in the middle of the ruins and open the nearby chest for the cookbook.
4. Check the surrounding ground for Perfume Bottles as well, since the recipes need those containers.
5. Buy the Crafting Kit from Kalé at Church of Elleh for 300 runes if Item Crafting is still unavailable.
6. Collect 1 Altus Bloom and 1 Miranda Powder and bring an empty Perfume Bottle. Outside combat, open Item Crafting and select Spark Aromatic. One batch makes 1.

Notes

• Scatters a short, broad fan of Fire in front of you for 5 FP. The wide spread can catch nearby enemies, but it is not a long-range projectile or ten guaranteed hits on one target.
• Damage scales mainly with Dexterity, with a smaller Strength contribution. Faith and Arcane do not improve it merely because it is a perfume dealing Fire damage.
• Perfumer's Talisman increases its damage. Fire-damage bonuses can also help, while Magic-damage bonuses do not apply to the sparks.
• It is a consumable attack, so Shard of Alexander does not apply as it would to a weapon skill. You cannot reinforce the aromatic with Smithing Stones.
• This recipe uses only Altus Bloom and Miranda Powder, rather than an Arteria Leaf. It is a different item from the Firespark Perfume Bottle weapon.
• Each use spends one prepared aromatic as well as the FP. Having an empty reusable bottle does not supply the ingredients for the next attack.
• Needs an empty Perfume Bottle. Using the mixture frees that bottle for another recipe, while the ingredients are spent. All prepared aromatic types share your collected bottle supply; the DLC perfume weapons are separate equipment.
