Perfumes are one of the most underrated items in Elden Ring, so USE THEM. Also that varre fake voice costed me way too much lol Very excited to reach 100k soon thank you guys for that!

Perfumes are really fun, but gathering materials for them is a pain, to use them consistantly. I wish we have some material trader of sorts.

If you keep the perfumes equipped (this also applies to pots) and also use a mimic summon, the mimic will use the perfumes for free, without wasting your actual in inventory.

The problem with them is that the ingredients for most of the perfumes are really hard to come by and often really useful for other key items, too. As a result, people are afraid to use them much. Rune Arcs are kind of similar in that being unable to really farm them makes players unwilling to use them much.

Been using spark a bunch to bolster a throwing knife focused consumable build and feel like it's important to note just how nice it is to have a Dex based source of fire damage! People joke about Int being blue Dex a bunch, but in reality Dex consumables add up to a toolbox of status and damage types that rival faith casters.

"Man, Tricia is a GREAT summon with her uplifting aromatic" "Oh, you can craft those yourself actually." "As I was saying, my girl Tyche is GREAT"

The uplifting aromatic that give you the bubble is my favorite. I used it to beat the final boss on my first run through. It's pretty broken having 10 free hits on top of your flasks and physik bubble.

Eyyy, I've been using the Bubble perfume for bosses and especially when called to help. People really slept on those items, they've always been *fantastic* in their utility. Thank you for making a very informative and condensed overview about them, I didn't expect poison to be *that* good...

i personally greatly enjoy the ironjar aromatic, theres extra challenge in the slow speed and heavy rolling but u are also The Tarnished of Steel and can do all of ur heaviest attacks uninterrupted

I feel this is also a great place to mention that you can store perfumes and pots at sites of grace. Stored ones won't use up cracked pots or bottles, but they will restock when you rest. So if you only ever use Spark Armoatic, you can craft and store a ton and not have to remember to craft more. (Storing a ton can be tedious though, since you have to do it in batches of at most 10.)

I wanted to do a build that was solely using perfumes, and it was tough. Theyre def a support item. I think it would be awesome if we could do like a quick craft action to make more mid battle so that they could be a primary weapon

Just came back to this channel after a long time, just to see you absolutely blew up in popularity. Well deserved man. Keep it up

I absolutely love uplifting aromatic. Give it to your mimic for infinite uses

If you have a friend, backup your save file, give him everything, then reload the save. Repeat 4-5x to turn that 60 arteria leaves into 999.

This is easily one of my favourite, if not, my favourite Elden Ring video. As an avid Perfume art fan it's helped with farming locations and I don't find it too horribly tedious to gather the required materials for each and every Perfume recipe, I enjoy having this on in the background from time to time while doing so as well, on repeat if necessary during longer farming runs. Love your editing and narration by the by, very smooth to watch and listen to.

I used to use the armor tear in my mixed flask, but when I found the uplifting perfume that did essentially the same thing with an attack boost I opened up another tear slot in my mixed physic which was huge. Also using that in the seamless co-op mod led to some cool encounters where I saved my friend with the bubble shield.

Absolutely scrumptious editing comrade, instant sub

Used the uplifting aromatic during my first play through to help with the Elden Beast and it was pretty darn useful

great video as always. love perfumes

Incredible video btw, everything summarized about these items in 5 min - Great work!!!

Would love items you could purchase with maybe rare materials or lots of runes so that you'd never need to farm for materials again. What I mean is like a key item that makes it so whenever you're crafting it waves one of the material costs in crafting.

This is your first video ive watched and loved it. Good shit man

Leviathan your videos keep getting better

thank you very much for this video. another one to keep track of for my eventual playthrough, aiming for my first to either be a shout or Crossbow build, seeing as how consumables as a core build seem... troublesome.

I love your balance of humor and information. Please keep making videos!

oh boy is this video SUPER RELEVANT now

Love the Cult of the Lamb soundtrack in the background. ❤

Oh I loved the perfumes on my first playthrough, the poison one got me through my first few bellhunter encounters, and the bubble one was with me for the rest of the game, helping me and my mimic tear tank Malenia. So useful

Oh my God man. I’m so glad I found your channel. This is comedy. Gold but informative about my favorite video game series. Absolutely hilarious my friend.

Thank you man thank so much it's hard to find relevant Elden ring vidéo on KZfaq.... The poison stuff I vs Scarlett Rott made me rewatch the whole Video ..art I was a bit sceptical at the beginning.... You rock my Elden Lord

Very interesting, Especially about the poison aromatic!

I used a lot of perfumes because I went for a Faith buffing allies playstyle. It was super fun in coop, but also worked well in single-player thanks to the mimic also using the buffs and perfumes to buff me.

Great tip. Uplifting aromatic helps a bunch in the DLC.

A guy saved me from Elden Beast's 'crucifixion' attack with a perfume once and now I always take them when called to help. They're fun to play around with, but it feels like a waste to use them on non bosses since crafting is boring. But for bosses there's a bunch to suit many playstyles.

I think its really fun to do a play through using a lot of items I like to do it with my samurai that I use a bow a lot in but all the extra items and crafting I think is pretty fun

Nice video! What outfit/armor is that? It looks cool!

Op af, thank you for this tip 👍👍👍👍👍

Grats on 100k!

Man! I’ve been sleeping on perfumes. Giving good farm spots was very helpful too. Definitely crafting them more during my next playthrough

thanks that is accually a really great idea. i never really use consumables never mind craftables but i think it might be an interesting way of playing the game.

I will definitely use this video for my item only run of Elden Ring

The Spark Aromatic as a well-timed wake up is beautiful. Or as a cheap shot against aggressive gankers.

Very good video, for a minute there it almost made me wanna play this again.

This feels like a teleshopping ad. I love it.

Thanks fella 🙏

Can confirm they're useful, (or at least the one that gives the bubble shield are). My roommate and I recently completed a coop playthrough, and during it we joked about how he uses a lot of items like firepots, while I almost never use consumables, so he ended up trying out more and more including the perfumer bottles. We were both surprised when we learned that there was one that gave that shield, so he started applying it all the time before we entered a boss room, letting us save our physic bottle or use it for other buffs.

1:36 “why not table the turns” 😂 great video…over 200 hours in and on NG+ and haven’t used perfumes. Very helpful

I used the ironjar aromatic a bunch in my first playthrough to cheese some bosses. Apply bloodflame on a weapon with the spinning strikes skill, drink the perfume, stand right next to the boss and hold L2, some like the draconic tree sentinel can be melted in 20 seconds while tanking any hits if you happened to aggro him before getting close enough

I only use the uplifting one. I made a whole bunch of poison ones but haven't used them yet. Now that I know the damage is stronger than scarlet rot, I will be using them a lot more.

Could be a fun run to try. ty for tip

I actually really wanted to use perfumes, but was discouraged by the materials required. Now that I know more farming spots, I'll try them out properly!

i wanted to initially use a light perfumer blood saumrai build but i kept neglecting the perfumes, i'll give them another go, add more variety to my build

IMO the uplifting aromatic is the best one because its go to use of arteria leaves. Exalted flesh and blood boil are okay but getting a defensive buff, an offensive buff, and it be on everyone in range is HUGE. This is especially true if you're helping friends get through tough bosses. I understand the arteria leaves are pretty limited but they are a reward for difficult exploration locations. You might as well use them to make some bosses/phases a little easier.

In my first run i always used perfumes and it was so fun. I also did some invasion while playing and always thought about why no one uses perfumes especially the uplifting perfume

I use the spark aromatic in my bow build. It’s surprisingly effective, because it covers a good area in front of you, which is exactly what a ranged build needs when dealing with aggressive opponents

I have a perfumer build and I love it the perfumes are so useful

I used perfumes during the second part of my first play through because they're really fun to use and useful on top.

ive been messing with a pvp build where i have the frenzy flame in my left hand with unescapable frenzy, the grab incantation, and unendurable frenzy, the continuous frenzy incantation, and a dagger with bloodhound step in my right. Then I pop a ironjar aromatic and bloodhound step at my opponents. I can either grab them or blast them, and the ironjar aromatic also greatly reduces my madness buildup, so I can keep going forever. I then wear heavy armor with vyke's spear as a secondary melee weapon and im basically unstoppable. the only annoying part is the living jar shard requirement for the aromatics.

Bro is gonna love the dlc perfumer content

Between the ps4 and ps5 versions I have about 1000 hours of gameplay and still find new stuff occasionally. Like a few days ago I found the tombsward cave never knew that was there been by that area dozens of times.

Congrats on 100k

4:23 my man knew what he was tralking about

i didn't know the bubble gave an attack buff! that makes it a more interesting option for me, as an alternative to golden vow ash of war on low-faith characters.

I'm stoked for perfume bottles weapons

My first pvp build used perfumes, i think it caught slot of people off guard

Quick tip if u give the mimic the uplift perfume he will use it and u can get it too if u near him

There is also the Mimic tear copying your item bar. The mimic uses whatever you have on your bar without using them.

Big ups for calling DSP boring lol

I wanted to make a perfume build for pvp and since then I've been using the Spark aromatic since. If you're dex, definitely have it on your bar. It's got a deceptive hitbox where it pretty much comes out instantly- great for setting up or against aggressive opponents, also good for invasions when they're trying to blender you. The thing is, even if you're not a dex focused build, it still does fantastic damage. Good thing to try is using the spark, even for a deterent, and doing the running R2 on a heavy thrusting sword, maybe even slap an impaling thrust somewhere on there. It's a brilliant tool. I tried to use the others (not the bubble) in arena too but I couldn't get them off lol I didn't know about the insane dmg tick on the poison one though, holy. I think perfumes wouldve been cooler if they were a type of spell and you use a perfume catalyst of some kind, idk. Or even just making it so one bottle gets a couple of uses (maybe 3 considering there's 3 in the art?). I'd balance that by only allowing some of them to have that many uses though. Imagine 30 bubbles in arena 😫 I really really hope they develop more for DLC, such an underrated tool that could be made even better - just like gravity chunks and glintstone chunks, theyre amazing

These reminds me a bit of the items from sekiro, like the item which allows you to damage the headless for a short period of time for example, except they are more optional in this game.

Hey my man, uplifting aromatic is straight bussin fr fr, perfect to prevent your 10 vigor homie from getting one shot while sunbroing.

”Everywhere i go, i see its face” *camera cuts to runescape hit marker*

Hey bro glad to find your channel. Can you tell how acquire the armour you're wearing in this video?

I used spark for day 1 invasions and it just chunks people, all i had to do was get someone to a little under half health and turn and burn them, it does goofy damage and is a great finisher. Poison mist is also really good in pvp, as people don't usually bother to cure poison because they assume poison does bad damage. On an arcane build the poison mist is an absolute necessity.

I really wish consumables would reset after colloseum battles (not after every death in combat ordeal tho that'd be annoying)

Perfumers hat is my favorite bit of headgear in the game

I love the perfumes. Surprised its not so often used.

Only ever created them for mimic to use. This game is grindy enough 😅 I really wanted to do a short bow build focusing on consumables and crafting. But the damage drop off is too much vs time investment, not to mention the stat spread for using different jars. There's a DS3 mod that made an alchemist class and that was pretty cool.

I def use and love perfumes and it might be weird for people but I enjoy farming specially late game because 1. You can destroy most enemies, 2. Elden ring is beautiful and I enjoy the views and 3. You get exp and can try out builds and weapons which in turn makes you better at the game.

Actually, I will try using perfume bottles. Looks interesting. Thanks for the info.

Uplifting Aromatic and Bloodboil stack on top of each other so you could get a 40% phys damage increase along with the 90% damage reduction the bubble gives

Man I really only use the uplifting aromatic tbh. I’ve never been one to sit and run away from enemies while having them poisoned or rotted. I used blood boil for a bit but the extra damage u take is kind of a problem for me sometimes. Haven’t used the iron jar one but will try it out now it looks pretty cool but uplifting has always been my go to when needing to clutch out a win

Using Cult of the Lamb music for Elden Ring video, combining two best games of 2022 together. Nice

That was my first time seeing that silver and golden orb perfume I literally had no clue it was in the game

I use perfumes when I'm helping others out with bosses. I'm on NG+4 (haven't played for like 6 month though lol) and spent around 150-200 hours per cycle. Got so many ingredients I can make them almost infinitely. The uplifting aromatic is such a great tool to help especially newer players out. It's a shame that such an amazing mechanic is overlooked. I love perfumes

Uplifting aromatic was the only perfume I ever used in the game lmfao and loved to us these after my wondrous physick flask gets used up

congrats on 100K subs

whenever I do co-op, I always bring Uplifting Aromatics, and I can't count how many times I've saved the host or fellow furled fingers with it

Pffft lmao that ending was great with the dudes face and the comment about how "we can only smell better"🤣🤣🤣

What armour are you wearing? The colours are popping in your game. It looks awesome.

Perfumes are really cool. I myself have used maybe 2 or 3 of them, but that was more than enough to prove to me how strong they can be.

I always keep a bubble perfume to equip when I summon mimic. Mimic can spam that sht it’s awesome

I really hope the soulsborne team keep these fun items in future installments. Ik dark souls has the reputation of “hard game get good” but I love how elden ring lets that style thrive while also letting people solve problems in a more creative way with a massive set of tools to gain advantages. There are so many people I have tried getting to play souls who refuse but then play elden ring and love it. I do think it is dependent though because I would love if they alternate between these traditional souls and more sekiro likes

I personally don't like perfumes, because on top of having only a max total of 10 and requiring material, they also use fp and I rather want to cast my spells then that. That's why I love normal pots much more.

the best part about the bubble aromatic is the mimic tear uses it FOR FREE

Performer Summons can use various perfumes to buff you/themselves

I like the perfumes that give you and nearby allies the 90% damage barrier without the wondrous physick

Perfumer bolts are extremely rare and can only be farmed. Even with 99 arcane they are super rare and because of this I can only recommend using Exploding bolts instead since they according to the wiki, do only 14 less damage than the counter part. Also exploding bolts can be bought and to make it better, it does not need perfumer talisman to do good damage. But I think perfumes still are way too annoying to farm for the offensive sides of perfumes and I rather prefer using arrows/bolts. Since they can be bought and can kill any enemy in the game with just serpent arrows, bleed arrows and burred bolts. Though defensively or to buff I think perfumes are awesome and that I will agree is worth using. All in all... good video : )

Would like it if there were also perfumes that apply all the effects. Feel like that's a missed opportunity, instead of throwing dungpies or using seppuku, you could just spray on a perfume to apply the effect.

Perfumes are amazing at low level. They helped me out on my sl1 run
