Walkthrough

In the southwest of Trinity, to the north of the 'Larch' Windmill, Nyra and Dianne can be heard talking about the essence of survival. Upon approaching, Nyra tells Aiden that if he wants to find out he needs to close his eyes and gets two options to respond with whether he is sensing smell or sounds. Selecting smell makes Nyra talk about smells triggering amotions due to memories, with Aiden stating it smells like shit. Nyra states she is working on a new fragrance - perfume - named "Turn Me On". All she lacks are Scraps and Lavender - two Craft Parts.

Scraps can be found relatively easily, most trashcans contain scraps. Biters and other common loots sources also often contain Scraps. They are also sold by vendors and Craftmasters.

Lavender may be more difficult to obtain, but it can be found at Roof Groves. Look for trees with golden leaves on rooftops until the purple flower is found, and harvest it. One Roof Grove is located behind the Pumpkin Farm where Nyra and Dianne are standing.

After obtaining one of each, return to Nyra and give them to her. She will allow Aiden to smell the perfume - new car smell. She will say thanks for the help and provide her reward, completing the quest.
