Noctis from Final Fantasy XV Smells Okay, I Guess
You’ve seen what Noctis looks like, and this weekend, I learned what he smelled like. The fragrance was created in the character’s image, so if you catch a whiff, you probably get an idea of the character’s scent. At least, that seems to be the idea.
