You can craft many useful items in Elden Ring, but you’ll often have to obtain blueprints or cookbooks for them first. The Perfumer set of cookbooks consists primarily of fragrances that might help you while fighting against foes. You can find one of the cookbooks, Perfumer’s Cookbook [2] at the Shaded Castle, located in Altus Plateau.
The Shaded Castle is seated at the end of a long valley north of Old Altus Tunnel and the Bridge of Iniquity.
Make your way to the inner gate of the castle; there should be a Site of Grace here for you to rest at. From the Site of Grace, head straight and take a left to find a ladder. Climb it to reach a rooftop.
Take a right once you’re at the top, and you’ll arrive in a dark room full of statues. Instead of continuing to the other side, take a right near the room’s exit to find another ladder. Climb it, and you’ll be on top of the castle.
The cookbook is found on a dead Tarnished sitting in a chair near the roof’s edge. Loot his body to pick it up.
With the cookbook, you can make either Poison Spraymist or Bloodboil Aromatic. The former is a consumable item that lets you expend FP to spray your enemies with poison mist, while the latter is a consumable that temporarily boosts your attack power and stamina, while also increasing the amount of damage you receive. We’ve listed the ingredients required to craft each item below:
- Poison Spraymist
- 1 Altus Bloom
- 1 Miranda Powder
- 1 Poisonbloom
- Bloodboil Aromatic
- 2 Altus Bloom
- 1 Budding Cave Moss
- 1 Land Octopus Ovary
- 1 Arteria Leaf
