It was only really good when it had an unintended mechanic though. Why from couldn't just make it hit as hard as it does when the actual perfumers use it on us is beyond me. All they had to do was tweak the damage a bit.
@@jonathonmiller2662not even the damage just the poise damage 'cause it has insane range so just increasing the poise damage and you have a solid weapon.
For the no invasion problem, if you are on playstation make sure your networm connection is set to "NAT type 2", otherwise its pretty random whether you can connect to other people. Then again invasions could just be dead, I wouldnt know as I havent played in a while (I kinda want to wait until some balance patches hit some of the dlc stuff and hopefully buff these sad sad perfumes.)
Wild that I get the same damage as your firespark with my offhand +3 using the talisman and flame tear. I find they’re an excellent sidearm at low level for wakeups and turn and burn. I normally pair with a BHS rapier, and mix up with the identical consumable. It’s a lot of fun!
I've found decent use for the poison bottle in invasions, combined with the poison buff talismans and poisoned hand.... But I'm not waiting for 45 minutes to get a gank xD
Welcome to the shadows of the erdtree DLC, here you will find old weapon types but good new weapons. New weapon types that are ass more weapon types that are ass miracles that are ass a new curved sword type (backblades) that is only used for WA spam ping pong spells
At the beginning, these were the most powerful weapons in the game. Just equip rolling sparks and you could look at the ground and delete any enemy. Now they suck.
It's genuinely impressive just how needlessly underpowered FromSoft made the Perfume Bottles. Low range. Low attack speed. Low damage. Their AoW are both bad with Rolling Sparks being butchered over a bug they allowed in the first place. You can't perform critical attacks and the recovery from most of the attacks feels way too long for just chucking perfume.
As someone who mains it, you gotta build into perfume bottles. Preferably with the perfumer talisman and a scorpion charm of the corresponding element for maximum damage output.
Personally I think the issues they didn't have a clear design idea with for starters, these are perfume or weapons which you would imagine someone using them would want to use the perfumer armor or in general would want to use light armor alongside them and perfumes are usually actually ridiculously powerful with the consumable spark powder perfume being fucking busted so you think they've realized they had the perfect design plan of make it slow to use and easy to be hit out of with also a heavy design around being mobile over being weighed down with perhaps light rolls into quick little bursts of perfume being the intended sort of playstyle you'd want to make the weapon around with then you make it do pretty chunky damage if it hits but the projectiles are slow and they're slow to come out meaning enemies can easily roll around them and at the same time I would say also probably make it so they have a much higher multistat dependency of all of them requiring high dexterity and then making quite frankly all of them also require a high arcane with then lastly you make for example the fire and lightning would have faith scaling while the ice would have intelligence scaling with the poison bottle would be the only one with pure arcane and dexterity but would just have far lower damage than the rest to the point that you wouldn't really want to build around the deadly perfume bottles but you would want to have them in your build at least with the frenzy flame bottles being the ones where you need high faith and intelligence as well as dexterity and arcane so that way people are forced to not really level up endurance and strength to help build around the concept that you're not necessarily supposed to be wearing heavy armor with these weapons in at least the meta level of play around like 150
lol I used the frenzy and frost ones on an int/faith build in invasions, with deflects, and had a blast. and I didn't even know they had the feint on the R2!
At level 130 - 140 I consistently get invasions in Consecrated Snowfield. Also, I think one invades more often when the nearby only option is selected. Idk, if Consecrated Snowfield is a bad place to invade in but a lot of fights there tend to feel pretty balanced.
Loved perfumes didn't even use that shitty exploit. Now with whatever they did. I went from beating Messmer with perfume to barely beating soldiers with them.
Yeah, not great as a main due to low dmg and slow speed. But is a pretty good side arm for area control. But I remember it doing more damage. Were you using the buff talismans?
Was the original rolling sparks that bad? When things like the great sword of damnation and int builds in general exist and they are dummy slow (p.s. they look pretty and the sound effects itch the inside of my brain)
the firespark one is pretty good against the erdtree avatars and the sunflower avatar in the dlc, and that's all the nice things i can say about these weapons they're such ass
The only good perfume bottle is the Deadly Poison one because you can Poison yourself to enable the attack power boost on the Mushroom Crown, the Kindred of Rot's Exultation, and the Poisoned Hand. Not even as a weapon, you'd use it just like you'd use Uplifting Aromatic.
@@michaelbowman6684 theres a way for both consoles and PCs if you won’t use CE for whatever reason either way it’s still ass, you’re better off using poison bundles because deadly poison wa is slow and punishable, requires using a bolus aswell, you have to use it at a distance, the buff is short so it’s probably going to run out as you close the distance afterwards
As a perfume enjoyer all I'm gonna say is there's a reason they're paired with a different weapon by every single non player perfume user. Two handing perfumes is just bad
The perfume bottles are such bizarre weapons. They're downright comically bad next to basically everything else, and the only conceivable reason to use them is the sake of cosplay, or you hate yourself. Why even toss them in, if stuff from Limgrave preforms better across the board?
I don't know why you didn't have any invasions when last night I was having 3 every like..... 15 minutes to an hour... the game needs some serious looks at by Fromsoftware.
Next patch they get buffed for sure, trust me

Welcome to the shadows of the erdtree DLC, here you will find
old weapon types but good new weapons.
New weapon types that are ass
more weapon types that are ass
miracles that are ass
a new curved sword type (backblades) that is only used for WA spam
ping pong spells
Light Greatswords and Great Katanas are goated though
At the beginning, these were the most powerful weapons in the game. Just equip rolling sparks and you could look at the ground and delete any enemy. Now they suck.
8:26 perfume fights unironically cinema (they last long because the weapon sucks beyond mortal belief)

Not the Diddler appearing each time someone gets slept 💀
Only place for invasions on PC is seamless co-op
This video is terrifyingly accurate to the perfume experience 😂
lol I used the frenzy and frost ones on an int/faith build in invasions, with deflects, and had a blast. and I didn't even know they had the feint on the R2!
I was so excited for the poison bottle and the edit w rick is perfect I cant stop laughing
8:11🤣🤣🤣
Somebody at from really looked at the state of hyper armor and thought these were a good idea....
Great vid btw
Jump L2 has a solid roll catch.
The lightning bottle spanks ass if you use it right.
If you lose a 1v1 against poison perfume bottles. Your only option is to uninstall
At level 130 - 140 I consistently get invasions in Consecrated Snowfield.
Also, I think one invades more often when the nearby only option is selected.
Idk, if Consecrated Snowfield is a bad place to invade in but a lot of fights there tend to feel pretty balanced.

Oh god all of these vids are peak ER content. I almost shit myself laughing hard 😂
I prefer Frenzied Bottle with ENDURE aow , kekw maybe should try them
Subbed btw peak video
Dissing rewindyourmind is crazyyyyy
Goated vid tho
Such a shame. Once again, Fromsoft tosses a unique, interesting weapon down the nerf drain to appease the hordes of whiners.
Loved perfumes didn't even use that shitty exploit. Now with whatever they did. I went from beating Messmer with perfume to barely beating soldiers with them.
The weapon is exactly the same, get your head out of your ass, they only fixed the instakill L2
The worst was to think that only cuz the perfumers NPC deals absurt damage, that weapon would be good un PvP
Lil sniff of that good stuff
Me as a fart down the aisle at the grocery store and leave of path of dead shoppers in my wake.
Perfume seems like the kind of weapon you use, not because it's anywhere remotely good, but because of the serotonin of getting even one kill with it.
Bro it’s peak I swear
What he’s talking about:
Perfumes may suck to use as a weapon but at least they make you smell nice.🐱
holy shi this editing is too good
Don't let Jeremy Fragrance watch this
They’re peak weapons, trust 🗿
I have a whole character based around perfumes and wished they did a bit more damage.
4:54 is that a reference to the niche youtuber king of skill?
To be fair, they are very cool looking.
The end is so real. Why is this games activity lower than other from software games that came out nearly 10 years ago 😢.
Poison needs help, even scarlet rot

These Perfumes would be fine if it had the range and maybe even the damage of the Perfumers.
