How to get Perfume Bottles in Elden Ring Shadow Of The Erdtree
Perfume Bottles can be found littered throughout chests and on corpses in the Land of Shadow. The following Perfume Bottles are easy to acquire early in the DLC:
Firespark Perfume Bottle
Head to theCastle FrontSite of Grace, in the northeastern Gravesite Plain. There are several campsites littered with enemies surrounding the Castle Front, and you’ll want to go to the eastern stretch of the camp, where you should see several white-robed Perfumers wandering the premises. Dispatch them and then loot the chest in their campsite to nab yourself the Firespark Perfume Bottle, which deals explosive bursts of fire damage.

Deadly Poison Perfume Bottle
Head to thePillar Path CrossSite of Grace on the northeastern edge of the Gravesite Plain. Seated on a rock is Thiollier, a disciple of St. Trina who openly admits that he has no fighting ability when you talk to him. Thiollier does have a way with poisons, however, and if you speak to him a second time and check out his wares you’ll be able to buy the Deadly Poison Perfume Bottle for 6,000 Runes. This particular bottle has the Deadly Poison Spray skill and a nice passive effect that causespoison damage over time.
It’s a hefty 6,000 Runes, but the Deadly Poison Perfume Bottle is a cut above the other two Perfume Bottles listed in this guide. |Image credit:Rock Paper Shotgun/Bandai Namco.
Lightning Perfume Bottle

Using Perfume Bottles in Elden Ring Shadow Of The Erdtree
Perfume Bottles can be used to deal explosive bursts of elemental damage. For instance, using a light attack with the Firespark Perfume Bottle quickly sends sparks flying in front of you; with a heavier attack, your Tarnished will twirl in a circle, shooting up fire all around them in an arc. Keep in mind that getting the best results for a heavy attack requires a fairly slow charge and wind-up.
Perfume Bottles are best at deterring multiple targets at once. You’ll need to equip them as your primary weapon if you want the heavy charge attack that shoots sparks around you, but seeing as how they’re all about elemental damage, they also work as offhand weapons that can be used in a pinch if you come up against targets with a particular elemental weakness. If you equip a Perfume Bottle as your primary weapon and another Perfume Bottle as your off-hand, your Tarnished will fling sparks from both bottles at once in an X-shape with your off-hand’s light attack, letting you cause two types of elemental damage in one swift strike.
