Perfume Alchemist

Chapter 152 Smell Simulation Competition
A hostess in a off-the-shoulder evening gown ambles onto the stage.

"Dear guests, thank you for participating in the first Agadi Perfume Star Competition. This competition is fully sponsored by Dr. Taiman, thank you for his support."

She stretched her hand down the stage, and the spotlight immediately turned on and moved following the gesture of the host.

Soon it focused on an old man with a white beard.

Dr. Teiman stood up and signaled, and the audience burst into polite and restrained applause.

"Dr. Taiman is a chemical expert who has been devoting himself to the research of essence extraction technology and has a good reputation in the industry." Kennedy beside Ahao also introduced the situation to him in time.

The host introduced the people sitting in the first row one by one.Some of these names, even Ah Hao has heard of them, all of them are well-known masters in the perfume industry.

"I won't repeat the specific rewards, let's go directly to the first competition!"

Ahao turned sideways quite unexpectedly and said: "It's quite refreshing, I thought she would talk about it for a long time."

The staff off the field pushed several dining cars covered with red cloth onto the stage.

"One of the most important tasks of a perfumer is to simulate and restore certain smells and situations in daily life. Therefore, the theme of our first competition is"

"Smell Simulation Competition!"

The host with blond hair excitedly lifted the red cloth on a dining car.

Various items are placed in it.Fruits, vegetables, desserts, trees.
There was a lot of discussion among the people in the audience, and most of them were standing on tiptoe to look at the items on the dining car.

There are various kinds of these items, some Ahao can see what they are, but some can't.

Because only a small sample of each object was taken, and it was delicately placed on a white plate.

After showing for a while, the host pushed the dining cart away and rolled out another dining cart full of small jars.

"These small opaque jars contain the items shown just now. Next, what items you extract from them, you have to restore the smell of that item."

"The competition party has made a list of all the contestants into a small note, and I will randomly draw lots to determine the order. Please call the contestants whose names are on stage and draw your topic."

The host picked up a big wooden box from under the dining car.There is only a palm-width hole above the wooden box.

She smiled gracefully, reached into the box and stirred it for a long time, then took out a note.

"Then the first lucky contestant is... Mister Jim from Zunana Perfume."

Ah Hao raised his eyebrows, he didn't expect to meet an "old acquaintance" here.

A young man with a charming figure walked onto the stage twisting his hips.He opened the jar, twisted a rose out of it, showed it to the audience, and twisted it again.

A voice of envy and annoyance suddenly sounded from the audience.After all, it is too simple to restore the theme of roses.

Following the host's announcement, each contestant stepped onto the stage and took out various items from the small jars.What Ahao can distinguish are tea, flowers, citrus, goat skin and amber, etc.

Ah Hao found that the host would give a brief introduction to every contestant who came on stage.

This method is actually a clever way to provide a social platform.Many active perfumers off the court have already started to expand their network by taking this opportunity.

"As expected of Agardi's game, it has a strong communicative atmosphere."

"It's like this." Kennedy couldn't help laughing, and he also realized the organizer's intention.

"But have you noticed? The first ones to go on stage are the perfumers of big brands. Hmph, what a random draw. I guess they stuffed a lot of money." Kennedy said disdainfully.

"Besides, the current topics are too simple. I suspect that there will be some moths in the future."

Sure enough, Ah Hao heard an unbelievable voice from the stage.

"moonlight?"

A young man was looking at the note in his hand in astonishment.There was nothing in his jar, just a note with writing on it.

"It's not fair! Why is my contest topic so abstract?!"

He excitedly yelled at the host.

"Restoring the scene and endowing it with imagery is the charm of a perfumer. Sir, the topic is drawn by yourself, please abide by the rules of the competition."

The host politely comforted the "Moonlight" youth.

Although he felt dissatisfied, he had nowhere to vent it, so he could only walk down the stage depressed.

"It's really here." Ah Hao raised his eyebrows, "It's not easy for me to answer this question."

Before he finished speaking, he heard the host call his name.

"...Mr. Ahao, the owner of the AH shop from the lower city, the perfumer, please come up to draw your topic."

Kennedy patted him on the back.

Ah Hao stepped onto the stage under the gaze of everyone.The huge crowd in the audience made him look quite nervous.

"Don't be nervous, handsome guy. After opening the jar, show it to the people below before you can leave the stage." The host put down the microphone in his hand and said softly to Ahao.

Ah Hao nodded and opened a jar.Inside was a slab of tan, with a smooth, delicate surface.

"chocolate."

He took the bar of chocolates and turned around to the audience.

At this moment, he saw expressions of gloating and sympathy everywhere.

He quickly walked off the stage and returned to Kennedy's side.

"How could it be chocolate? Oops." Mr. Kennedy's expression was rather ugly.

"It's quite a difficult test question, I've never smelled anything like it in a perfume.

"And it's different from abstract topics like Moonlight. You can't fool around with concepts like this. Can you?" He looked at Ahao worriedly.

The chocolate in Ah Hao's hand has been partially melted by his body temperature.

He didn't answer in a hurry, but instead put his finger dipped in chocolate pulp to the tip of his nose and sniffed lightly.

The rich and unique sweet aroma spread out, and the charming taste made his appetite increase instantly.

So he directly stuffed all the chocolate in his hand into his mouth.

"It should work, I'll try."

Ah Hao twitched his cheeks and said eagerly.

Maybe other perfumers can't extract essential oils from chocolate.But for him, preserving the smell was a no-brainer.

After a while, the dining car in front of the host was empty.

"Have everyone drawn their own questions? In fact, there is another biggest test in this competition: we will only provide some basic smells as raw materials.

"And everyone, you need to use your nose and brain as a 'palette' to reconcile these smells and simulate the exam questions you got."

"Then now, the raw materials are ready. The time limit for the scent simulation competition is 10 minutes. Everyone, please hurry up and start!"
