Abandoned the Immortal Cultivator, returned to his hometown to farm and sing

Chapter 1190 1179. It’s hard to fake it

Got the recipe.

The next step is to verify authenticity.

Although Delphine did not agree with the counterfeiting, she was very curious about the drunkard's perfume.

He hurriedly called a car and went directly to Dior's perfume laboratory.

When it comes to perfume, Dior is naturally the best.

Delphine is the CEO of Dior.

The matter is of great importance, so Arno will go along.

As the "starting point" of the whole thing, Bianchi had to go there shamelessly.

And he was very angry. Why did Jacques come along?

There is no way, Jacques is Delphine's subordinate, the regional president of the Dior brand...

The perfume laboratory is located in the southern France, in the small town of Grasse, known as the "Capital of Perfume", and is named the Fountain of Perfume.

Since Dior produced its first perfume in 1947, every perfume has been blended here.

Delphine had been here many times. After arriving, she went straight into a small room on the left side of the laboratory and found the person in charge, the perfumer François.

Here, François has only one job.

That is - cracking the drunkard perfume.

As one of Dior's best perfumers, François, who comes from a perfumery family, has been busy with this for nearly a year.

The results achieved are...very few.

The only things that were cracked were a few basic raw materials.

For example, for the scent of Pine After Rain, he only analyzed that grass, pine needles, tea tree branches and oak bark were used. After all, the flavors of top notes, middle notes and base notes are very obvious.

But I don’t know which one it is.

For this purpose, François collected no less than a hundred kinds of grass...

Now that he had the real formula, François' countless doubts could finally be answered.

His level of excitement was even greater than that of Arnault and the others.

It was as if he had snatched the formula from Bianchi's hands, and he was swaying with happiness as if he was about to faint.

"Ah, it's young leaves of foxtail grass and mugwort, in a ratio of 7:3... Keep the green stems? Oh, it's a spicy and cool feeling, yes, yes, it's a spicy and cool feeling, not just pure coolness, the coolness should be accompanied by heat..."

"The pine needles are the most common Chinese pine, not the cedar. Is it for the oil? ... It's intermittent hot-pressed extraction! 60℃, 0.5MPa... This number is critical..."

"The tea branches are aged tea branches??? Frozen extraction at -18 degrees??? What's the logic behind this?"

"Ah, I understand. Atmosphere conditioning is to mix all the raw material residues and perform gas phase adsorption aging... It requires a 20℃ constant temperature chamber..."

After reading the recipe, François immediately immersed himself in the preparation of the dish.

Creating a perfume is not something that can be done overnight.

But just three days later, François informed Delphine that the deployment had been successful.

"So fast?" Delphine felt incredible.

But François said, "The process of making this perfume is surprisingly simple. Its inventor did a lot of subtraction and combined it with advanced equipment. So it only takes three days. But..."

"Just what?"

"Please try it once and you will know."

A short time is a good thing, a very good thing.

But “only” what?

She couldn't force the master perfumer to do anything.

The group returned to the perfume laboratory.

François presented a bottle of his newly blended perfume.

Delphine was impatient, so she took it first and sprayed it on both sides of her neck with a hissing sound.

A little bit of coolness turned into the natural fragrance of grass. As for the spiciness in the coolness, she couldn't feel it. It was not a sense of smell, but a feeling.

After a few seconds, a hint of warm resin scent floats to the nose, the top note ends and the middle note begins.

And there is a hint of tea fragrance wafting out, which is very pleasant.

Delphine nodded with satisfaction, "It is indeed the drunkard's pine after rain." After hearing what she said, Arno and others also became interested. They took the perfume bottles and sprayed them on themselves, then carefully savored the fragrance on their bodies.

Fresh and natural, like walking in the forest.

Enjoy.

I feel unhappy.

How come such a good thing belongs to the drunkard?

But it doesn’t matter, it’s mine.

Arnault felt mixed emotions, but he didn't show it on the surface. He smiled and praised, "Mr. François, thank you for your efforts."

Very gentle and friendly.

But Francois did not show gratitude, but apologized, "I'm sorry, Mr. Arnault, I disappoint you."

"Oh? Why do you say that? You have successfully made the pine tree after the rain." Arno asked puzzled.

Francois smiled bitterly, "This is not the pine tree after the rain."

As he said this, he took out a bottle of "Pine after the Rain·Fragrance" by the real drunkard.

Delphine was the first one to take out a wet wipe and wipe off the perfume on her neck.

After the alcohol evaporates, spray it with real rain-post pine.

When I smelled it again, it felt completely different.

The warm resinous aroma feels deep.

The tea fragrance is blended with the feeling of a natural forest.

It is more vibrant, profound and complex.

To get to the point, it's like walking in a pine forest after a light rain, with fresh air and a light mist surrounding you.

The sunlight shines through the treetops and falls on my body.

She finally found the warmth in the freshness...

After everyone else tried it, they all fell silent.

If we compare the two perfumes purely in terms of smell, there is actually not much difference.

But, but this feeling is completely different.

It’s just this feeling, it’s just a feeling, I don’t know where it comes from and it can’t be quantified.

"What is the reason?" Arno asked with anger in his tone.

Bianchi keenly noticed the president's attitude and immediately shouted angrily, "The formula is fake!"

Delphine also looked cold.

Jacques remained expressionless and continued to be invisible.

Instead, Francois spoke up: "The recipe is real."

"Really why is it different?" Arno asked back.

The attitude is different from before.

François hesitated for a moment and replied in a low voice: "It's because of the raw materials, the processing of the raw materials."

Delphine was unwilling to hear this and retorted, "The purchase cost of raw materials is the highest. We have all the materials you want."

François quickly explained, "It's the processing of the raw materials. The raw materials in the formula need to use supercritical extraction technology. The heat-sensitive natural flavors are extracted at low temperatures to avoid high-temperature damage by traditional distillation methods."

Delphine didn't understand what was going on, but she could get to the point. "Are you missing equipment?"

Francois still shook his head and smiled bitterly, "We don't have the equipment. There is none in France or Europe. This is a patented technology from the East, unique to the East."

He further emphasized: "This technology can increase the saturation of fragrance by 3 times. Now all the company's perfume raw materials are extracted by Oriental Company."

"Uh..." Delphine was silent. Not only perfume, but almost everything in their group was produced in the East and shipped back with just a label and a zipper.

There is no way, the cost is low, the technology is good, the scale is large and the industrial chain is complete.

As for Europe?

Where in Europe are there still craftsmen?

Other things can be produced in the East, perfume... drunkard's perfume, can it?
