Scent of a Drag Queen is the eighth episode of RuPaul's Drag Race season 5. This episode begins with the six remaining queens of the competition getting ready for the day ahead. They all discuss the recent elimination of Ivy Winters and how they are all feeling the pressure as the competition heats up.

RuPaul enters the workroom and announces the mini-challenge for the week: a "snatch game" where the queens have to impersonate celebrities using only their sense of smell. It's a hilarious challenge that sees some of the queens struggle to identify the right scent while others excel in the game.

For the main challenge, the queens have to create their own fragrance and package design, which they will present to RuPaul and a panel of judges. They have to come up with a unique scent and create a branding strategy that's marketable and memorable.

The queens are given a budget to buy supplies for their fragrance creation, and they all get to work on their unique ideas. Jinkx Monsoon decides to use her experience working in a coffee shop to inspire her fragrance, while Roxxxy Andrews opts for a sexier, more seductive scent.

As the queens work on their projects, the tension in the workroom rises as they struggle to finish everything on time. Some of them are worried that their idea isn't unique enough, while others are struggling to get the packaging just right.

The runway show for the week sees the queens strut their stuff in their best "scent-inspired" outfits. They are all dressed to impress, with some of the most breathtaking looks of the season so far.

As the judging commences, there are no clear front-runners, as each of the queens has something unique to offer. The judges are impressed by the quality of the fragrances and the creativity of the packaging designs.

After much deliberation, the bottom two queens are announced, and it's a shock to everyone. The two queens have performed well in the competition so far, and the decision to send one home is not an easy one.

The lip-sync is an emotional one, with both queens giving it their all. In the end, one queen is sent home, and the other is given the opportunity to continue on in the competition.

Overall, Scent of a Drag Queen is an exciting and entertaining episode that highlights the creativity and talent of the remaining queens. With the competition heating up, the audience is left wondering who will be crowned the winner of RuPaul's Drag Race season 5.
