The ingredients used in the best of perfumes are either incredibly rare or hilariously dangerous to retrieve, meaning that those experienced in the trade may become friendly with certain suppliers who can maintain a small income of rare ingredients that they procure through shady or honest means. When you are in a town or unable to go out and retrieve these rare ingredients yourself, you can still rely on these kinds of special merchants. If you have the gold for them that is.
Suggested Characteristics
Most perfumers find themselves traveling with adventurers for security while on the search for the more dangerous ingredients they use, as such the level of experience and professionalism found in adventuring perfumers varies wildly. Talk with your DM to determine if your perfumer is fresh-faced or experienced in their craft.

Your talents have not gone unnoticed by high society, and you live in luxury among royal servants and the nobles you serve. You maintain an elaborate garden of somewhat rare ingredients and enjoy the status gained from making Royal perfume, and thus you are respected in most circles for your craft. However your access to rarer and exotic ingredients as well as your access to other customers is slim to nonexistent. As such you may be adventuring because you ended your service to your nobles, be it temporarily or permanently.
