The Rolling Sparks is an Ash of War that can be equipped on to Perfume Bottles. While it does not add any additional affinity, it does impart the Rolling Sparks skill which costs only 14 FP to use. Here’s what the item description says.

“This Ash of War grants no affinity to an armament, but imparts the following skill:

"Rolling Sparks: Scatter perfumed powder before you, triggering rolling explosions of deadly sparks. The properties of the sparks are determined by the perfume bottle used."

The powerful explosions caused by the scattered perfume do immense damage. If used in close quarters, it holds one-shot kill potential when used against other players in PvP.
