Floating Perfume Shop

Chapter 3 The old man

Zhou Tianhao entered his personal studio at the Lotus headquarters.This is a well-equipped laboratory.A pure white workbench, surrounded by a spice cabinet that freezes thousands of essences and synthetic spices, a large part of which are more expensive than gold.The countertop has been cleaned by the assistant Xiao Chen. The drip tube and the fragrance test stick are neatly placed on one side, and the imported equipment for testing fragrance is next to it.

He kicked out the two female assistants who came to help attentively: "Oh, I'm sorry, I want to watch something alone."

The beautiful assistant is used to teasing her boss, so she pouted: "Boss, what is so mysterious, a love letter from my first love sister?"

Zhou Tianhao thought for a while, nodded with a smile, and made a gesture of invitation: "Yes."

He closed the door, slowly put away his smile, leaned back on the swivel chair, took out the crumpled scent paper in his pocket and flattened it out again.The scent that was already imperceptible became intense again.

Just now, it really wasn't an illusion.It's him, it must be him... Only he can deploy "Reincarnation"...

Classic perfumes usually use a three-stage formula. The most volatile substance is called the top note in the first few minutes, and the subsequent stable smell is the middle note, which can last for more than four hours.And when these aromas evaporate, the remaining aftertaste can last for hours or days-this is the base note of the perfume.

And Zhou Tianhao found out that this perfume in his hand, in the short 10 minutes of the conversation, the three fragrances have been fully interpreted.At first, he thought it was because the perfumer didn't have deep experience in the industry, and he didn't grasp the timing of the essence volatilization-but in the end, the grassy fragrance of the top note appeared again!

This perfume has a completely different structure from the traditional ones!

Its aroma is grassy and minty, gradually transitioning to woody, and the final taste is very warm, slightly sweet with milk and honey.If what it wanted to express before was a scene of returning home on a snowy night in December, then now, it is an infinite reincarnation of this scene.Travelers return countless times and see the faces of their wives and children who have been thinking about it for a long time in their dreams, forming a endless cycle of reincarnation.

In his memory, only Xiao Chongyun could make this type of perfume.

Xiao Chongyun... he read silently, his palms turning into fists.

Ji Fangdan Joles Perfume School has a small circle called "God's Nose", which is similar to Yale's Skull and Bones. It is only composed of the most talented perfumer apprentices. "Handsome Xiao".He will always remember Xiao Chongyun with black hair and black eyes standing among a group of French and British friends talking and laughing freely, with high spirits and picturesque features.

Zhou Tianhao tried his best but couldn't get into this circle.As long as Xiao Chongyun exists, he, who is also from the East, will appear to be not good enough.After he joined "God's Nose", Xiao Chongyun had already returned to China.When he returned to China, Xiao Chongyun disappeared from the perfume industry.As if the oriental perfumer of genius never... existed...

I just want to give an explanation to my yearning, Zhou Tianhao said to himself, I am not too obsessed with a single person.

He smiled bitterly and sighed: "Besides, even if he was once fascinated, this person can't feel my following eyes."

He didn't call his assistant to deliver dinner, and he didn't continue the good tradition of leaving get off work before the o'clock, and stayed in the studio until dark.The boss didn't leave, and the assistants didn't dare to get off work first, and they all waited next door.

The door opened suddenly, and Zhou Tianhao waved impatiently: "Didn't you hear that you were told not to come in?"

Su Lan leaned against the door frame with her arms folded, and sniffed: "No matter how subtle the smell is, I can't hide it from me. This is 'Reincarnation'. Abandon the traditional pyramid of top notes, middle notes, and base notes, let three to four scents The reincarnation of the atmosphere is performed, and the modulation method is kept secret. Are you suspecting that this is the work of Xiao Ergong?"

"Only he can concoct 'Reincarnation'," Zhou Tianhao said with a blank expression, "The company stipulates that the off-duty time is six o'clock, why don't you go back?"

"I'm just here to remind you." Su Lan shrugged: "If this is really Xiao Chongyun's work, its fragrance transition will not be so rough. Moreover, I can tell it without using a fragrance analyzer, which is quite cheap. Fragrance raw materials. The Second Young Master Xiao who concocted the 'secret' back then would drop the price and use cheap synthetic spices?"

Su Lan's advice always hits the point: "If you're really worried, I'll go to City C again to buy the recipe, and by the way, ask who the perfumer is and who told him about the recipe. Anyway, I have to go there in a few days."

Zhou Tianhao and Su Lan walked side by side through the quiet corridor of the company.He thought for a moment, then smiled and said: "You are right, it seems that this is the only way. I never thought that one day I would have the opportunity to get in touch with the formula of 'Reincarnation'. If this formula comes to me, I will let it Play a greater value than Xiao Chongyun at that time."

The assistant had called, and the driver had been waiting outside the door for a long time.Su Lan watched Zhou Tianhao's black car disappear into the traffic, and took out her mobile phone.

"Please help me find a perfume shop near Qintai Road. My friend wants to know who the owner of this shop is..."

Cheng Yuan is a new perfumer of the fragrance cosmetics brand Yashe. This is the first time for her to participate in a perfume rookie show as a judge.The Cheng family is a big family. During the period of the Republic of China, it was originally a Huahua dew factory in Shanghai. Before the founding of the People's Republic of China, the whole family moved overseas.After the reform and opening up, Cheng Yuan's family returned to China, and turned their attention to cosmetics and luxury goods.Cheng Yuan's ability to become a judge of this rookie show has something to do with his family background.

It was late at night, and Cheng Yuan was still holding the notebook to prepare the materials for the competition.

Although it is a single residence, the living room is still very large.No lights were turned on, only moonlight spilled on the wooden floor through the floor-to-ceiling windows.Sitting in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, Cheng Yuan had just taken a shower, her long hair was pulled up, making her sharp jawline look fragile.The room smelled strongly of cigarettes.

"Don't want to be looked down upon by others because of your family background, so you worked so hard until so late?" The man smoking in the dark said with a smile.

Cheng Yuan finally turned around and frowned: "Can you put out the smoke? After all, you are also a perfumer, why don't you pay attention to protecting your sense of smell?"

No face could be seen in the darkness, only the red sparks from the cigarette butt could show where the man was.The man leaned on the sofa, folded his legs, and laughed hoarsely: "In my current status, even if I point to ammonia, the fashion circle will only nod, right? What's the use of a nose?"

"You were not like this when Brother Chongyun was here." Cheng Yuan frowned delicately: "In recent years, you have become more and more depraved. Smoking, drinking, playing with women... It seems that Xiao Chongyun's departure took all of you away pursuit."

The smoke light suddenly went out, and the man's voice was full of gentle guidance, but inexplicably tinged with danger; "Xiaoyuan, you really don't know where Xiao Chongyun is now?"

"You can't find him with your activity, let alone me? China is so big, there are always places that our network can't reach."

"I regret it, I want to get him back, and make it up to him." The man in the dark said.

Cheng Yuan stopped typing, turned around, and faced the little fire in the darkness.The man found her expression rarely focused.

"Young Master Zhang, the Cheng family and your grandfather's Zhang family are family friends. We have known each other since we were young. You can't hide it from me. I know you are used to destroying everything that is better than you. If you find Brother Chongyun again, you will be afraid Would ruin him even more completely, wouldn't it?"

The man's hand clenched tightly for a moment, and then gradually loosened.He smiled nonchalantly: "Why? I love Chongyun very much."

He put an envelope on the coffee table in front of the sofa, and tapped on the glass tabletop: "I'm leaving, this is the default list for the rookie show rematch, and it has indeed been sent to you. Sister Xiaoyuan, my brother reminded you, It's the first time to be a judge, just know, don't be too explicit about some things, understand?"

It wasn't until the sound of the man's footsteps disappeared at the end of the hallway that Cheng Yuan got up and picked up the envelope on the coffee table.Standing under the dimly lit wall lamp, she finished reading, with a look of disbelief on her face: "In addition to the internal appointment, there is... there is only one free quota..."

She sighed softly: "Zhang Wenshan, if Xiao Chongyun was once your rein, then you who lost the rein have become too much."
