The top, middle, and base notes of a perfume can all be adjusted according to the customer's needs.
"Luo Luo, I want the top notes to smell like a sweet and sour floral and fruity scent. After all, your uncle and I were each other's first love. When we first started dating, we often had our little squabbles, which were both sweet and sour."
Chen Xi reminisced about the good times. At the beginning, they were just like other young couples, arguing and bickering occasionally, and they even had a falling out and almost broke up... So her first love was bittersweet for her.
Yan Xiluo, Lan Jingyan, and Lan Junnian listened quietly to Chen Xi's thoughts.
"I want the middle notes to be all sweet! Floral! Like that kind of passionate, intense fragrance!"
They later got married and cherished each other even more. Not only did Lan Junnian dote on her, but she was also considerate and thoughtful in every way. They always discussed things together, and both of them became more mature and stable.
"I want the dry down to smell warm and comforting, like the feeling of home."
Home was her safe haven and her sense of belonging. After having two sons, she felt that she had both a weakness and armor.
"That's about it, Junnian, what do you think?"
Chen Xi looked at her man with a happy expression, hoping for a response from him.
“Xi’er expressed it perfectly, and I also feel that our love is like this! Let’s do as Xi’er says.”
Lan Junnian's eyes never left Chen Xi; that must be a sign of favoritism.
"Okay, I think I've got it! Uncle, Aunt, Ayan, wait for me here, I'll go to the perfumery in the back for a bit."
Yan Xiluo got up and went to the perfumery. She tied up her hair, changed into a sterile protective suit, and took a series of disinfection measures to ensure that the perfume was blended under sterile working conditions.
"Ayan, Mom really likes this daughter-in-law! I'm going to Jinxi to pick out some jewelry for her later! What kind of jewelry do you think Luoluo likes?"
Jinxi Jewelry Store is renowned in both Country Z and Country F, and is listed among the top brands.
Many of Chen Xi's jewelry pieces come from Jinxi Jewelry Store.
"Luo Luo has a really good eye. Last time I took her to meet my aunt, she immediately asked for a high-end emerald piece that wasn't even on sale. She said a friend told her about it."
Her daughter has high standards, is very discerning, and has excellent taste.
"I knew it! The emerald was gone before the rumor even got out; it turns out my daughter-in-law snatched it away!"
Chen Xi felt her heart was bleeding, but she was also secretly pleased that her daughter-in-law was really capable!
"Luo Luo is really nice. She's so good to our family. Last time I ran into Anna at Xunxiang, Anna was going to give Luo Luo a gift, but Luo Luo just gave Anna a Xunxiang membership card instead. Anna was so excited!"
I feel like his girl is incredibly devoted to his family. I feel like I haven't been good enough for her. I'll definitely bring her a generous gift for an interview when he returns to China.
"Then we can't be impolite and mistreat Luo Luo. I'll personally prepare gifts for our in-laws after we return to China! Also, Luo Luo is your grandmother's savior! We must be even more courteous to her."
Lan Junnian thought this child was good; she was generous and kind to her family, and he couldn't let her suffer any losses.
From the first moment I met her until now, her words and actions have been very proper, and she has always been thoughtful.
Furthermore, he was his mother's savior!
"Yes, your father is right. We'll go together and bring your brother to the Yan family to express our gratitude. Ayan, you must prepare generous gifts for your future in-laws and brothers-in-law! Luoluo has prepared very generous gifts for us, we can't be lacking. We need to make Luoluo feel that our Lan family values her! Give her a sense of security, so that such a good daughter-in-law doesn't run away, right?"
Chen Xi kept talking, thinking about how to give Yan Xiluo the best.
"Hehe, look at your mother, still so worried. She's right about one thing: don't let such a good daughter-in-law run away! You should treat Luo Luo the way I treat your mother, understand?"
Even Lan Junnian, who is usually not very talkative, had to give a few more words of advice.
This only proves that he is very satisfied with and approves of Yan Xiluo.
"I know, Dad, Mom, don't worry! She won't run away, and I won't let her run away either."
He was confident that as long as he treated her well enough, he would be able to achieve that.
A moment later, Yan Xiluo came out with the perfume she had just mixed.
"Uncle, Auntie, the perfume is ready. The scent might not be perfect right away; this is just to confirm the fragrance with you. It's best to let the perfume sit for half a month to a month before using it."
Yan Xiluo sprayed the perfume she had just mixed onto a test strip and handed it to Lan Junnian and Chen Xi.
"Yes, yes, this is exactly the flavor Auntie imagined. Luo Luo's blend is even better than I expected! I don't think it needs any further changes!"
This is the feeling she wanted: bittersweet, sweet, and warm.
"Uncle also thinks it smells great! It really is just like your aunt described before. Aunt said it doesn't need to be changed, so it doesn't need to be changed."
Lan Junnian is a very direct person, always has been, and Lan Jingyan knows this very well, knowing that his father is genuinely satisfied.
"Okay, then let's stick with this scent. From now on, this will be the exclusive scent for Uncle and Aunt. You can ask me to make a new one when you run out; I have a copy saved here."
She labels and records each perfume she personally blends, making it easier to blend again.
"Luo Luo's perfumery skills are amazing. She truly deserves to be called the little princess of the perfumery world! She satisfied us all on the first try."
Chen Xi was extremely excited; she finally had her own exclusive fragrance.
"Auntie, you flatter me. I'm glad you and Uncle are satisfied. I'll go in later and make you some scented candles with the same fragrance."
Yan Xiluo was happy to have gained the approval and affirmation of Lan Jingyan's parents.
"By the way, we'll be launching a new perfume balm soon. How about I make another one for you, Uncle and Auntie, using the same scent? It'll be easy to carry around and won't break."
The perfumery still keeps the materials for making scented candles and perfume balms.
It was to make it easier for Yan Xiluo to develop new products, or sometimes to do her a favor.
"Great! I didn't expect Auntie to get to try out the new product? Does this count as getting in through connections and being a beta tester?"
Chen Xi winked playfully, looking very charming, and you couldn't tell that she was already over forty.
"Hmm~ Consider it a privilege. I won't give you the free card. From now on, I'll personally blend all of Auntie's perfumes. Once they're blended, I'll have Ayan bring them back to you."
Rather than a free card, personally blending a unique fragrance for her each time shows her sincerity.
This also shows her favoritism towards her future mother-in-law; she is trying to win her over.
"Then Auntie will accept Luo Luo's kind offer. Auntie will take you to choose some jewelry later, so you can't refuse!"
She knew they would become family sooner or later, and she couldn't refuse, afraid of hurting Luo Luo's feelings. But she would make it up to her in other ways!
