There are three shelves filled with spices and essential oils. If they are genuine, there are floral essential oils that are more expensive than gold, and there are also some rare spices that she has only seen at auctions.
Although perfume making is a slow and delicate job and does not require many essential oils, she feels that it would be a huge loss to spend a thousand dollars an hour to make perfume as much as she wants.
The counter clerk explained: "Our shop never loses money. Guests can use as much spices as they want, but not without limit. If the amount exceeds the limit for each room, there will be an extra charge."
Ruan Chu curled his lips and said, "What's the difference? All the spices here cost more than a thousand yuan."
Gu Yang chuckled, "Who is your boss?"
The counter clerk shook his head and said, "To be honest, we don't know the boss's name either."
He is just a worker.
Gu Yang didn't make things difficult for him. He asked him to close the door and go find the spices he needed.
Ruan Chu sat next to him, flipping through a book on perfume making. "Why did you suddenly want to make your own perfume?"
Gu Yang placed the necessary spices on the table and said, "Go home tomorrow and bring some handmade gifts to your family."
When the variety show ended, she was thinking about what gifts to bring to her family. Then she suddenly remembered that when she gave Xunmeng's perfume to Gu Jin, Gu Jin vaguely said, "It's not you who mixed it."
That's why this idea came up.
Coincidentally, she also searched for a perfume shop on the map.
"But the question is, can you adjust it?"
Ruan Chu put down the book and looked up to see Gu Yang smelling the fragrance while adding drops of essential oil into the bottle. He was slightly stunned and whispered, "It looks quite decent."
There was no music playing in the perfume room. It was just the two of them, and it was quiet. Ruan Chu's voice was not loud, but Gu Yang heard it too.
She smiled and said, "Cousin, why don't you try it? Grandpa will probably be looking forward to receiving the perfume you made yourself, right?"
She remembered that her grandfather would often complain about the young handsome men who lacked masculinity when watching TV. He even couldn't stand seeing male stars wearing makeup, let alone an old man like him wearing perfume.
"There are not all perfumes available. Some are more suitable for the elderly and can calm the mind. You can choose some woody scents, such as sandalwood and agarwood." Gu Yang said slowly.
Ruan Chu was somewhat tempted and looked through the perfume making instructions more carefully.
Gu Yang noticed her movements and the corners of his mouth curled up.
In fact, she felt that her cousin had nothing to worry about. Given how much Mr. Ruan doted on her, he wouldn't mind even if she made him a floral perfume.
Ruan Chu read a book for a while, and then watched Gu Yang mixing perfume. Seeing that Gu Yang was serious, she did not disturb him.
Gu Yang quickly mixed a bottle of perfume. In the transparent glass bottle, the perfume was crystal clear with a light green color.
Ruan Chu took it and looked at it. "It looks pretty good. Can I smell it?"
Gu Yang nodded: "Okay, open the bottle and smell it, don't spray it out. I still have to continue mixing other perfumes."
When perfume is sprayed and diffused in the air, the smell of the perfume mixed later will be mixed.
Ruan Chu opened the bottle and gently moved his hand over the bottle mouth, as carefully as if he was smelling a chemical.
She had been prepared for Gu Yang to mix up some pungent smell, but the lingering fragrance made her eyes flash with surprise.
It is the fragrance of grass and trees, which makes people feel peaceful and free of distracting thoughts.
