To the community (and maybe miHoYo?): What perfume would Zhongli wear in his day-to-day life?

I’m writing this post because Zhongli is hands-down my favorite character in the game. I love everything about him—his lore, his calm personality, and his overall aesthetic.
I’m actually planning to purchase a new perfume for myself, and I really want it to be something that smells like him. I want to find a scent that captures his "vibe" for day-to-day life.
So I have a question for all of you, and hopefully even the creators at miHoYo/HoYoverse if they're reading:
What kind of perfume or scent notes do you think Zhongli would actually wear? Since he's so refined and has such specific tastes, I feel like he would have a very distinct signature scent.
If you guys have any ideas or headcanons about what the Lord of Geo would smell like (is it woody? tea-like? something else?), please let me know. so I can find the perfect "Zhongli" fragrance to buy.

i think he gives me more earthy-like scent vibes.

Zhongli probably smells like incense, I can imagine the parlor burning incense at all hours probably offsets the smell of death. So a bit creepy but pleasant in the end I suppose.

Hmm... 🧐

If you want him to not smells like sadness and sorrow, you might want to ask Ying'er

No not her 😂

Well considering how much he spams the osmanthus wine dialogue, ig he might like a osmanthus perfume.

Well he does pick a perfume in one of his archon quests. Admittedly for his own funeral but it might still count? Silk flower perfume and from the three choices presented to him he picked the most subtle

190 dollar for the second one what is in that !!!!!

it lists everything on the page, just scroll down a bit. there's scents even more expensive and it'd just be the bottle of perfume and nothing else. fragrantica is a great site to explore honestly xD; some prices are insane.

The unpaid one, that’s for sure

I don't know, maybe sandalwood. That's earthy, woody and can be expensive.

Hugo Boss IMO

He'd wear something rare, boutique and expensive. Maybe look at perfumes that kpop idols and celebrities wear? Something with woody and amber notes like Creed Oud Zarian, since he uses the amber as a levelling material. He wouldn't think about price, so it would be expensive and probably from a fairly old house as well...
