What does the Horde smell like?

Community General Discussion

The Alliance often remarks on how the members of the Horde smell terrible. During the Darkspear Rebellion, the Alliance player’s nose literally burns from being in Vol’jin’s presence as he opens his mouth to speak. However, if they truly smelled so bad, how could the Blood Elves possibly tolerate them? The Blood Elves have an even higher standard of cleanliness than the races of the Alliance, certainly they of all people would be revolted by the Horde if the Alliance can’t even stand their ground in front of an exhaling troll. Does the Horde really smell that bad, or is the Alliance just exaggerating?

The blood elves are masters of the arcane, and use magic to block the odors from their nostrils. The same goes for nightborne.

Lots and lots of perfume when we go into Orgrimmar.

Maybe the real reason they joined the horde is they prefer the Troll musk. Their Troll heritage has left a deep-seated desire for the smell of voodoo

Always keep a bottle of perfume close when visiting Orgimmar.

Sweat, leather, wet fur, and probably a lot of dung from the kodos.

I be smellin’ like voodoo and half a stable from all me hunta pets.

More seriously, the only piece of dialogue Hordeside I remember coming across about how the Horde smells is the Legion apothecary alchemist trainer remarking that Thunder Bluff smells like a barn, but the tauren alchemist there will be helpful to you at some point in the alch story.

Halitosis is considered sexy among the trolls. :joy: I imagine it smells really bad but they just become nose blind over time.

Well, I know I smell like roasted peanuts and burning pine needles.
Then again, anyone who was close to the burning World Tree smells like that.

Back in MoP they had flies swarming around in Vol’jin tent. Yes, I know it was a rebellion, but I am not sure even on a normal day they smell pleasant.
