Aromatisse (Pokémon): Difference between revisions

Aromatisse appears to share some traits with a {{wp|Flamenco|flamenco dancer}} and a {{wp|Can-can|can-can dancer}}; it seems to draw particular inspiration from the idea of French dancers scandalously revealing their legs. Given the white round area on its face and the adornments on its head it may also draw inspiration from traditional {{wp|carnival}} masks and costumes used in central and southern parts of Europe, and masks worn at {{wp|masquerade ball}}s. Based on its looks, abilities, species name, and general association with scents, Aromatisse was most likely also based on {{wp|perfume}} bottles, and shares the "hourglass" figure many fancy perfume bottles also have. Its "beak" also more than likely represents a perfume nozzle, considering the "scent line" extensions on its head as well as its placement on the top of the body. Its fluffy lower body may also be based on powder puffs or other cosmetics applicators. Its perfumes and avian qualities and origins may also mean that Aromatisse and Spritzee are based on {{wp|plague doctor}}s, who used various perfumes held in bird-like masks to drown out the scent of the plague and deceased.
