There are currently seventeen registered material depots for Fragrance Studies, and each depot has a theme, which corresponds to the main type of stock stored there.
For example, the theme of Depot No. 3 is "Crimson Broth," and its inventory consists of blood and various bodily glandular secretions. The theme of Depot No. 10 is "Earth Power," and its inventory is basically all scent-ores.
As for Depot No. 1, its theme is called "Transmutation," and ninety percent of the stored substances are excrement; the only difference lies in the various species the excrement comes from.
And all this excrement counts as basic raw material in Fragrance Studies.
So calling it the "Rice Shared Pit" really isn't an exaggeration at all.

Using feces as scent raw material sounds a bit baffling, but anyone who knows even a little about Fragrance Studies will understand what's going on.
