Perfume Alchemist

Chapter 23 Citrus Selection

"call."

Ah Hao returned home again with a big bag of vanilla plants.

When he was about to open the door, he found a beautiful card stuck in the door.

He picked it up and saw that it read impressively:

【Dear Ahao,

After days of cleaning and renovation, Abyss Bar will reopen today!
Woohoo~!There will be a grand opening party at 20:00 tonight!Drinks are half price!

Uh, well done, I mean, get you a drink!Hurry up!

By the way, Boss Joe will be here today, if possible, bring your perfume.

Cheers,

Wind Northam]

It was a card from Old Wind.

Ah Hao walked through the door while flipping through the pages.

Wende decorated the bar faster than he expected, and he couldn't help looking at the perfume raw materials spread out on the table.

Hurry up!Not much time left today.He hopes to finish the unfinished new fragrance before the party.

He put down the big and small bags he bought and began to check them.

What he bought were herbs such as basil, mint, and thyme, which are quite common ingredients in Agadi.It is often used as a condiment in various dishes.

Today, Ah Hao is going to add them to the perfume.

During yesterday's refinement, he vaguely felt that the refreshing and juicy taste of citrus essential oils might be a perfect match with these green vanilla plants!

He is ready to try it out today.

He used a charcoal pencil to redraw the already blurred Lian Chengzhen.

"Divide the earth from the fire, extract the essence from the rough!"

Formed arrays of dim lights continued to flash in the room again.

Huh, after a while of busy fiddling, there are now three bottles of perfume in front of Ah Hao.

He wants to choose the most satisfactory bottle among them.

Although they all use oranges as raw materials, and they all exude the unique fragrance of citrus as a whole, there are still slight differences among them.

The first bottle of perfume, the scent is based on red orange and basil, with lemon and mandarin as accessories.

He tried spraying it, and the overall taste was fresh and delicious, with a touch of green and spicy.

Because the spice of basil is added, its natural and refreshing feeling makes people very comfortable.

The second bottle of perfume uses grapefruit as the absolute core, orange and mint as accessories.Because it uses grapefruit as an ingredient, its taste is quite different.

"Chi~" The perfume dispersed like mist.The slight bitterness of grapefruit peel and the sweet and sour juiciness of the pulp come to the face, and the smell is green, fragrant and cool.

That's right, it's the bitter taste of grapefruit, which is quite reductive.It's what keeps the cloying smell of perfumes to a minimum.

The second bottle of the perfume smells quite pleasant too.

As for the third bottle of perfume, Ah Hao looked over.

Just when a ray of sunlight fell from outside the window, the sloshing liquid in the glass bottle emitted a dazzling orange light.

The raw materials of this bottle of perfume are oranges, oranges, and oranges.

That's right, nothing but oranges.

But it's a decent bottle of perfume, not a bottle of tangerine oil.

Ah Hao has been exploring the efficacy of his purification and refinement, and this bottle of perfume is the best embodiment of his research results during this period.

The first is orange peel essential oil purified from orange peel.

After that, the orange pulp is purified to produce orange juice, and then the orange juice is used for secondary purification to obtain orange crystals.

Finally, whole oranges, purified three times to obtain a thick orange liquid.Basically, it takes three big oranges to purify one drop of this liquid.

It is they that give this bottle of perfume such a wonderful charm.

"Hey~!"

The fragrance mist sprayed out seems to be no longer perfume, but a freshly peeled orange, and the fragrance oil of the orange peel seems to be gushing out, splashing all over the face.

After the fragrant and stimulating top notes, there is a neat and refreshing middle note.

The juicy and sweet aroma gushes out, as if the teeth are cutting through the crisp, delicate fresh orange flesh.

The sweet orange juice seemed to flow down my hands.

In fact, up to here, this bottle of perfume has already satisfied Ah Hao.

But the next change caught him off guard.

What appeared after the middle notes of this bottle of perfume turned out to be the top notes!

The scent of fresh orange peel returns.

It's as if you've finished eating an orange and feel dissatisfied, so you peel another orange.

After clearing the scent, the scent turns sweet again.

That's right, this bottle of perfume has a reciprocating fragrance structure!

After spraying out, its taste will cycle continuously between top notes-middle notes, middle notes-top notes!

It will only slowly weaken the flavor in this cycle, but no other different flavors will appear.

Ah Hao faintly felt that this bottle of perfume had gone beyond the original concept of perfume.

As we all know, the top note is called the top note precisely because the taste dissipates quickly.

If only the top notes could keep appearing.

Hey, here I come, is it fragrant?
I am leaving.

Hey, I'm here again, surprise or not?

Come in a while, leave in a while, so what should it be called?
Ah Hao grabbed the last bottle of perfume, no matter what, he wanted others to evaluate it.

He made up his mind and chose it.

He looked at the other two bottles of perfume on the table and felt that they also had their own charms.

After hesitating, he made a mark and stuffed all three bottles of perfume into his bag.

Forget it, don't make a choice, I want it all!
The first bottle of perfume is called [Red Orange and Basil].The second bottle is called [Grapefruit and Mint].The third bottle is of course called [Orange and Tangerine].

Uh, is it too sloppy?
Ah Hao is going to set off first, and think about his name on the way to the downtown.

The sun outside had gradually set, and he went to have a casual meal, which should be just in time for the party.

After changing his clothes, he sprayed the last bottle of [Tangerine and Tangerine] perfume on his body.

I feel that the taste is really addicting.

Then he put on his backpack and went out.

Sitting on Agadí's steam light rail, everything felt familiar to him.

He took his perfume and went to Wende again.

I wonder if his little cousin will come this time?He thought of the last time, the strong wind that filled the venue, and the perfume he shattered all over the floor.

Hope everything goes well.

Agadi, Lower Town, in front of the Abyss Bar.

Ah Hao saw that the whole bar had taken on a brand new look, and all the decorations in front of the door were shining with a new light.

He opened the door and entered, and the sight in front of him made people's eyes bright.

It's really bright - because all the neon posts are on now.

"Wow, why is it so bright?" Ahao couldn't help covering his eyes with his hand.

Wen De, who was instructing the staff in the store to carry out the final adjustment, looked over when he heard Ahao's voice.

"Haha, Ah Hao, you're here. Are you bright? Because of this renovation, I doubled the number of neon lights!"

"Are you crazy? Who will come here when it's so bright? Are you running a bar or a library. Does the bar need to be so bright?"

As we all know, the dim lights of the bar naturally have a reason for its existence.

"Hey, you don't understand, come in and sit down first, and I'll talk to you slowly."

Ah Hao followed him into the bar.
