Fairy Market
"Eyes, eyes! New eyes for old!" shouted a tiny woman in front of a table covered with bottles and jars filled with eyes of every kind and color.
"Instruments of music from a hundred lands!"
"Penny whistles! Tuppenny hums! Threepenny choral anthems!"
"Try your luck! Step right up! Answer a simple riddle and win a wind-flower!"
"Everlasting lavender! Bluebell cloth!"
"Bottled dreams, a shilling a bottle!"
"Coats of night! Coats of twilight! Coats of dusk!"
"Swords of fortune! Wands of power! Rings of eternity! Cards of grace! Roll-up, roll-up, step this way!"
"Salves and ointments, philtres and nostrums!"
Otherworldy golden incense, blooming wind-flowers, everlasting lavender, bluebell, a faint whiff of exotic sugared candies, and fae mist upon wet green grass.
In imp: Sweet, green floral. Pretty much what it says on the tin.
On me (wet): Precisely as in bottle.
On me (dry): Unchanged
Verdict: Nice, but not particularly memorable.

In other news, I'm running out of body parts and I have run out of prompts. Help a girl out here.
Donations of body parts are appreciated, but unfeasible, so I suggest sticking to the prompts.
