A store worker spraying A SCENT INTENSIFYING DRUG onto an omega is absolutely insane?! Either this guy is incredibly incompetent and unaware of how dangerous that is (like a systemic issue. Lack of education about this topic.) so non-omegas don’t even think about the repercussions.. orrr he doesn’t care about the repercussions and is willing to put an omega he doesn’t know in danger of being attacked?! Did I misread that?

Hmmmm maybe in some omegas they dont really have strong pharomones so they cant to attract alphas as much as the others can. So it could be a demand for those types who really want an alpha to find then. Maybe some omegas do just want the danger life idk ┑( ̄Д  ̄)┍. Or heck it could be a perfume to seduce their partner when they wanna have some extra spice for their bed time u know what i mean. We really dont know. I dont think omegas (excluding the second reason maybe) who will use this wont wear out in the open where they could be in danger but in closed spaces for intended purposes
And i think this was suggested to Etty coz the merchant could tell he was an omega but his pheromones were weaker than the usual, we really dont know. U might end being right that that shit is sus lol

And do keep in mind that omegas have more privileges and bodily autonomy (except for Etienne of course) compared to almost all omegaverses in fiction. I think omegas arent gonna be doing dumb bs or stuff where they get systematically shitted on. Well of course the human trafficking still exists as we saw at the end of the chapter. But omegas are definitely not second class citizens where they're just treated as mindless sexuals beings like so many omegaverses do. They hold immense power and opportunities that other stories never gave to omegas.

ooo it could totally be that. Because he didn’t smell anything at all while Etty claimed to be an omega, he assumed Etty just had terribly weak pheromones? So thought he was “helping”
I hope it’s that, but maybe the author didn’t think about it as deeply as we’re imagining when writing it if they didn’t intent to explain it, then you came up with a good justification which might’ve fixed a plot hole/explained something the author never thought to explain. We’ll have to see if there’s something more sinister ig :D
I don’t want them to have sex rn I want them to talk
Why not both
