I'm torn wondering whether I'd prefer more realistic fanon, as garlic and asparagus are the only foods I know of that make their presence known in one's own scent/taste after consumption.
Well, quite a lot of fuss. If I didn't know better, I'd think we were dangerous.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Is it a post-consumption thing, or a signature scent thing?

I suppose it's actually a signature scent thing, but I've never run into anyone who naturally smelled like a foodstuff. Well, except for maybe moldy cheese.

I always figured any non-human, non-garlic or onions scent a character carried was based on their grooming products. Strawberry scented shampoo, citrus-scented lotion, etc.

Lucky Nutty, blocking out the canon of Wrecked, like that.
Although, I would swear that fanon had Willow smelling like strawberries back before she was "Gay now!", so pre-Racked....

Sometimes the fans are prescient.
I'd assume one would acquire a strawberry scent the same way one acquires the scent of jasmine, baby powder, or Chanel #5.

My impression is, in badfic, people naturally smell/taste like starwberries/vanilla.

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."
Sort of puts a new spin on 'Mmmmm, cookies' yesno?
Flea's impression is not a false one, in fanon. I've read quite a few where BUffy naturally exudes essence of vanilla instead of sweat. It's kind of creepy, actually.

They seem to be confusing Buffy with the strawberry shortcake characters.
I recall the little plastic dolls smelled of various fruits.

Mine, too. I figured it for a natural scent and gift with purchase of violet eyes, limpid pools of cerulean, or rich pots of chocolate with just a hint of sherry.
