Chapter 924 Perfume Making Skills
Emeritus’s house is a detached villa with a glass conservatory in the yard.
Su saw that the flowers in the greenhouse were planted in sections according to variety, just like the experimental fields of Zenna Garden. The signs on the grounds showed the care plan for the flowers and their current characteristics.
“Those are the flowers I need when researching perfumes. Mr. Tinari gave me a lot of professional care advice.” Emery opened the door and invited the girls in.
Emeritus’s home is decorated in a natural wood style, but the group didn’t have time to take a closer look at the decor before she led them into the most important area of the house—the perfumery.
The warm light softly illuminated the room, and an entire wall of solid wood shelves was filled with dark glass bottles containing different fragrance ingredients.
Opposite the shelves, against the wall, was a long corner table. On the table, in addition to perfume mixing tools, there were some strange and unusual instruments.
“Those are instruments that I commissioned researchers at the Fontainebleau Academy of Sciences to specially customize for extracting essential oils or fragrances from raw materials.”
Emery demonstrated the operation of the instrument.
Watching as a large number of fresh flowers are refined and extracted to condense into a small drop of fragrant essence, Funina found herself feeling a sense of satisfaction.
She enjoys this process of refinement and sublimation!
But looking at the remaining flower remnants after the extraction, Funina felt a pang of regret.
She has always believed that flowers are a proud display of plant life, a beauty that plants generously share with the world.
Even knowing that the beauty of life will eventually fade, and knowing that the remains of flowers can be used as fertilizer to nourish plants, the cycle of nutrition and life is not a waste.
But she still wanted to preserve this beauty as much as possible, hoping it could adorn the world for a longer time.
If only we could extract the fragrance and essence without harming the flowers...
As this thought arose, tiny water droplets suddenly appeared on the flowers around Funina.
Water droplets of all sizes float in the air, shimmering with rainbow colors like scattered pearls.
Funina: "W-What is this...?" What's going on?!
Sue picked up a flask and quickly collected the water droplets floating around Funina.
After smelling it, Amelie tested it again with instruments and confirmed, "It is a pure and flawless top-grade essential oil."
Amélie looked at Frynn in amazement, “As expected of Lady Frynn, even after becoming human, your control over water elemental power is still superb.”
Fu Ningna chuckled twice, and in order to change the subject and to verify her own thoughts, she picked up the flowers and observed their condition.
“The color is still vibrant, and the petals are still soft,” Su said, picking up a flower and sniffing it. “Hmm, although it has faded a lot, it still has a fragrance.”
Paimon clapped enthusiastically. "Furnessa can extract the best fragrance oils, Sue has a sensitive sense of smell, and with Amelie's professional guidance, I'm getting more and more excited for the perfume they'll create!"
Before the actual perfumery process, Amelie took out her professional books and notes from over the years to give Su a refresher on the basics.
Su looked at the stack of books, which was taller than herself, and felt overwhelmed. "How can I learn so much? When will this ever end?"
Fu Ningna: "I think the perfumes sold in the store are quite good, and I really like some of the classic ones."
Upon discovering that the "student" was on the verge of losing interest in school, and that the "parents" were encouraging her to give up, Emily quickly adjusted her strategy.
Amelie categorized the spices roughly: "Different spices evaporate at different rates, some fast and some slow, thus creating top, middle, and base notes in the resulting perfume."
"Even among roses, different varieties have different scents. Some are rich, some are fresh, and some have a slightly sweet and sour taste, similar to fruit."
"Even the same variety of flowers from different growing regions will have subtle differences in fragrance. The fragrance produced by extracting only the flowers of the jasmine will be different from that produced by extracting the whole plant."
"Apart from flowers and wood, any odorous substance can be used as the fragrance of perfume. Even if it cannot be extracted from the raw materials, the same scent can be created by other means."
"For example, pears themselves cannot be used to extract essential oils, so the refreshing pear scent is often replaced by alcohols. Yes, we also use some artificially extracted and synthesized chemical agents in the materials used to make perfumes."
"For example, the leather scent often found in men's perfumes. Leather does not have essential oils, and its extracts cannot be added to perfumes. The leather scent is mostly simulated by tar and bark oils."
After briefly explaining the basics and common sense of perfume making, Amélie let them do as they pleased.
"Just unleash your abilities and inspiration, and I will be there to remind and help you."
"Amélie, you are such a professional and gentle teacher!" Paimon said, moved. "We will definitely use it carefully and won't waste it!"
These fragrance ingredients and instruments were collected by Amélie at great expense and effort. Her generosity in letting them use them shows her respect and trust for them.
We must not let them down!
"A professional and gentle teacher..." A faint, complex smile appeared on Emily's lips. "It's nothing, after all, that's how my teacher taught me."
Before blending the perfume, Su opened each bottle one by one, carefully appreciating the different scents of each ingredient.
Recalling the feeling from just now, Funina used her abilities to make the materials even purer.
After appreciating all the fragrances from the Emeris family, Sue staggered toward Funina, "Quick, quick, give me a hug!"
Even with her exceptional constitution, she still felt dizzy and lightheaded after inhaling so many different fragrances and mentally processing them all!
Funina quickly helped the girl up, "Su, are you alright? Are you okay?"
Su buried her face in Funina's neck and took a deep breath.
Suck--
Paimon looked sympathetically at Fryna's stiff expression as Su Meng sucked her dry.
It feels strange, doesn't it? It looks like Funina's hair is all frizzy.
Although she was extremely unaccustomed to it, Funina had no intention of pushing Su away until Su released her with a refreshed expression.
Su: "Wow~~~~ My health bar is full!" Funinna smells so good!
Paimon flew over and asked, "So, have you found any fragrance ingredients you like?"
“Yes, I do,” Sue picked out a fragrance bottle, “but I feel this one isn’t quite right for Funina.”
“This is…” Emilie took the bottle and looked at it, “It’s my collection of Agarwood Immortal Tea Fragrance.”
"Its aroma is fresh, rich, and lingering, with a subtle yet unique fragrance that is hard to describe."
"But as Sue said, the oriental fragrances it is suitable for blending do not suit Ms. Furness's temperament."
