Spritzee are small, portable pokemon with remarkably strong and pleasant scents, although their precise smell can vary dramatically based on diet. These pokemon were domesticated during the early modern era, when the elite fashions of Kalos' royal court became extremely heavy and socialization during the summer months was for a brief time embarrassingly restricted by smell.
Therefore, once the aromatic properties of Spritzee were discovered, no amount of rarity or troublesome habits could keep them away from the royal court. For the ease of regular doses of perfume and the avoidance of a common yet frustrating problem, nobles would put up with Spritzee's loud cries and endure their energy being stolen from draining kisses; should they faint during the outing, it would still allow them to socialize longer and embarrass them less than withdrawing themselves to bathe.
Spritzee domestication was an ongoing process, and the Spritzee of Parfum Palace on the revolution's eve were little more troublesome than a bottle of perfume or a can of deodorant. But Kalos' great revolution brought an end to the needless heavy and uncomfortable noble fashions which required these pokemon's use, along with an immense backlash against all things aristocratic; most of the nobility's Spritzee were freed and returned to the wild. Today, Spritzee perfume is a common note in historical textboks, but an all but forgotten art. Had the tradition continued unbroken, and been exported with the Kalos Empire and global trade, it is likely that the world would today be a far fresher-smelling place. But then again, perhaps most are wiser to pursue other methods, for overly sweet scents can attract powerful wild pokemon as easily as walking through tall grass.
