Calling all Travelers — or, more accurately, calling all time-traveling archivists. Back in August 2024, Teyvat’s most fragrant event, Emilie’s Perfumery, wafted through HoYoverse’s social media like a bottle of rare perfume. In 2026, the event has long since evaporated, but the memory still smells faintly of Primogems. No kidding. If you were there, you remember. If you weren’t, pull up a chair and let Paimon’s nose do the talking.

The premise was simple enough to make a Snezhnayan cry: Miss Emilie invited the Traveler and Paimon to her perfumery, showed them how the magic was made, and then handed over the final ingredient decision. What scent would they create? That was the question. The answer, apparently, was whatever the community could hashtag fastest.

What Exactly Was Emilie’s Perfumery?

It was a community event hosted on multiple platforms, including X (the artist formerly known as Twitter) and HoYoLAB-style official event posts. Travelers picked a perfume icon, chose the scent they wanted to concoct, and then posted with the event hashtag and the matching perfume hashtag. On X, the instructions were basically: click the perfume icon, select your fragrance, post with #EmiliesPerfumery# and the corresponding perfume hashtag, and pray to the gacha gods that your UID got drawn. On other platforms, the dance was slightly different: choose the Paimon emoji image, include the perfume hashtag and your Genshin Impact UID, and drop it in the official event post’s comments. Same fragrant energy, different digital doorway.

The event ran from August 7 to August 14, 2024, ending at 23:59 UTC+8. Results were announced on August 23, 2024. So, yes, in 2026, this is less 'live event' and more 'collector’s edition memory.' The perfume bottles have been dusted, the hashtags have gone quiet, and the Primogems have long since found their homes. But the rules and rewards are still a fascinating snapshot of how HoYoverse liked to run its community show.

How Travelers Could Join the Fragrant Fray

The participation loop was straightforward, assuming you didn’t get lost in Emilie’s perfume shelves. Here’s the gist:

• Pick a perfume icon on the event page or post.

• Choose the scent you wanted to create.

• Post with #EmiliesPerfumery# and the corresponding perfume hashtag.

• Include your Genshin Impact UID so rewards could be delivered.

• Submit multiple times if you wanted extra chances — because why not?

• Wait for the draw and keep an eye on the results announcement.

On X, the event post was the gathering place. On other platforms, the official event post’s comments section was the playground. The instructions were a bit like a recipe: mix one part creativity, one part hashtag, and one part UID. Bake until golden. Serve with 160 Primogems.

Rewards and Rules: A Perfume Bottle Full of Fine Print

The headline reward was 160 Primogems, with 100 winners across all platforms. That’s 16,000 Primogems total, if you’re the sort of person who does math for fun. The event was cross-platform, meaning winners were drawn from all participating platforms together. No platform had a secret stash. No region got a bigger bottle. It was one big, smelly lottery.

The rules were the usual HoYoverse mix of common sense and legal armor:

Rule	What It Meant
Multiple submissions	You could enter more than once, but only one prize per Traveler.
No unrelated content	Advertisement links and random publicity were banned.
No plagiarism	Don’t steal someone else’s perfume, literally or creatively.
UID publication	Your UID would be shown on the event platform if you won.
Wrong UID	If you typed it wrong, the reward would not be reissued.
Reward delivery	Primogems arrived within 20 business days after the results.
Account bans	Cheaters could be permanently banned from future community events.

Honestly, it was a gentle reminder that even a perfume event has teeth. The rules also noted that by participating, Travelers agreed to have their UID published, but only for reward delivery and protected under local privacy laws. Very official. Very scented.

Why It Still Matters in 2026

In 2026, Genshin Impact has moved on to newer regions, newer characters, and newer events. But Emilie’s Perfumery remains a cute example of how HoYoverse used to blend in-game characters with out-of-game community fun. It didn’t require clearing Abyss floors or fighting a weekly boss. It just asked Travelers to imagine a scent and slap a hashtag on it. That simplicity was the charm.

Also, let’s be real: Paimon sniffing perfume is comedy gold. The idea of the Traveler and Paimon wandering into a perfumery and being asked, 'What scent would you like to make?' is exactly the kind of low-stakes, high-flavor side quest that makes Teyvat feel lived-in. The event didn’t change the meta. It didn’t introduce a new artifact set. It just let players be a little creative, a little silly, and a little hopeful about free Primogems.

If you’re reading this in 2026 and wondering whether you can still participate, the answer is a soft, fragrant no. The event ended on August 14, 2024. The results came out on August 23, 2024. The Primogems were delivered within 20 business days after that. So unless you’ve got a time machine hidden in your Serenitea Pot, this is an archive piece. But it’s a fun one to revisit — like finding an old perfume bottle in a drawer and remembering exactly what that summer smelled like.

For newer Travelers, the takeaway is simple: keep an eye on official social media and community posts. HoYoverse still runs events like this, and they still hand out Primogems for creativity. The hashtags change. The platforms evolve. But the formula — character, community, and a chance at free currency — remains. Just don’t forget your UID. And maybe don’t plagiarize someone else’s perfume recipe. That would stink.

So here’s to Emilie, Paimon’s nose, and 100 lucky winners who smelled like victory. May your future events be fragrant, your Primogems plentiful, and your UID typed correctly the first time.
