Aromatisse is a bipedal, semi-humanoid Pokémon. Its head and upper body are covered in fluffy purple fur or feathers. The exact hue varies: they are vivid purple in the official art, and pinkish-purple in all other appearances of the Pokémon. Around its lower body is an even fluffier mass of pink fur, resembling a skirt. There is a black bow on its lower back. It has a pale blue-gray face with a small, curved beak or snout that resembles a mask worn by plague doctors or a masquerade mask. Its eyes are black with red sclerae and pupils and full black lashes. It has two wavy ears or tufts with yellow centers on its head. Each of its hands has three yellow claws, and it has paw-like feet with three toes.
Aromatisse can give off a variety of different smells, ranging from a pleasant fragrance to bolster its allies to an odor so repugnant that its opponent loses the will to fight. The scent emitted by its pink fur is so strong that its companions and Trainer will gradually lose the ability to smell. In Generation VI, Aromatic Mist was its signature move. Additionally, prior to Generation VIII, Aromatisse and its pre-evolved form, Spritzee, were the only known Pokémon that could have Aroma Veil as an Ability.
Aromatisse, the Fragrance Pokémon and the evolved form of Spritzee. Aromatisse can create many scents, some unpleasant enough to opponents to gain the advantage in battle.
Aromatisse is the only Pokémon with a base stat total of 462.
Aromatisse can be seen as a parallel to Slurpuff. Both are Generation VIFairy-type Pokémon that are version exclusives of Pokémon X and Y and in Pokémon Sword and Shield, with Aromatisse to Pokémon Y and Pokémon Shield, and Slurpuff being exclusive to Pokémon X and Pokémon Sword. Both have signature Abilities that affect themselves as well as their allies, and both evolve from their base forms when traded holding a certain item.
Aromatisse’s current menu sprite in Pokémon GO depicts a glitched version of its model, with extra eyelashes that partially clip through its eyes.
Aromatisse appears to be based on an aristocratic woman wearing a masquerade ball mask, with its fur forming the shape of a fluffy dress. This aligns with Spritzee’s Pokédex entry, which states that it was once the preferred partner of noblewomen. It may also take traits from the appearances of flamenco and can-cancabaret dancers. Aromatisse also loosely resembles a fluffy cosmetics applicator (such as a powder puff) and a perfume bottle.
Aromatisse may also be based on a few different birds: Its pink coloration, as well as diet-sensitive characteristics of Spritzee, may point specifically to a flamingo, while the upper half of its body resembles an owl.
Its bird-like face may also be based on a plague doctor's mask, referencing the Pokémon's healing abilities, as well as the fact that plague doctors filled their masks with perfumed concoctions. Alternatively, the bird-like traits, healing abilities, and aromatic themes may reference the nest protection hypothesis, which theorizes certain bird species add aromatic plant materials to nests to ward off or kill parasites and pathogens. The association between aromas and healing may also involve aromatherapy.
