The first time that you defeat the boss encounter, you will be grantedthe Tough Love achievement and you will be able to loot a Faded Lovely Greeting Card from Hummel. This starts theSomething is in the Air (and it Ain't Love) (Alliance / Horde) quest, which rewards somegold.

- 10 Love Tokens;
- Renewed Proto-Drake: Love Armor (Drakewatcher Manuscript);
- Forever-Lovely Rose;

- Sweet Perfume Broach;
- Choker of the Pure Heart.
The loot is item level 428 Adventurer gear in 2024.
9.2.
Tactics
The enemies have damaging spells that fit in one of two categories: Perfume(purple) or Cologne (green):
- Apothecary Hummel only has Perfume abilities;
- Apothecary Baxter only has Cologne abilities;
- Apothecary Frye has both Perfume and Cologne abilities.
Inside the area where you will be fighting, there are two cauldrons: Perfume Neutralizer makes you immune to Perfume attacks while Cologne Neutralizer makes you immune to Cologne attacks. Clickinga cauldron will create an item in your bags after a short cast time. Using thisitem is what gives you the immunity buff (which lasts 5 minutes).
With that in mind, the encounter is rather easy. Have one player takethe Perfume Neutralizer and keep aggro on Hummel. Have another playertake the Cologne Neutralizer and keep aggro on Baxter. The rest of thegroup can take either of the Neutralizers. By doing so, your groupwill only have to worry about moving out of thePerfume or Cologne void zones that Frye (who cannot be tanked) regularlyputs down.
Ideally, you will want to kill Hummel and Baxter first and finish withFrye.
