Chapter 5 Participating in the Perfume Contest

(Kneeling for a recommendation ticket!)

After breakfast, Li Lin planned to go to a big house in the concession, which needed to be converted into a perfume workshop.

Because after he develops No. 5 perfume, he will need a big house for mass production in the future.

Even after the business grows bigger, a factory dedicated to mass production of perfumes will be established!

Of course, meals have to be eaten step by step.

After searching for a day, he couldn't find a big house that he was too satisfied with. Most of the houses these days are used for living, and some are satisfied. The landlord heard that it was going to be transformed into a perfume production workshop, but he didn't agree.

During the period, at night, several cousins ​​came to his house to ask him if he was not going to work, and which rich grandma he helped, but Li Lin just dealt with it.

But the relationship between these cousins ​​and him is still very good, and they are not jealous of his windfall, but happy for him! After all, you don't have to work hard like them anymore.

Finally, on the third day, he found a small perfume workshop that was on the verge of bankruptcy.

He got it for £100.

There are also some tools and equipment for making perfume.

In this way, he only needs to add a small batch of equipment.

In the next half month, Li Lin began to devote himself to the research and development in the small workshop every day according to the [No. 5 perfume formula].

From the purification of the original ten kinds of raw materials, to the chemical synthesis of more than 130 kinds of essences, and then to the initial notes: aldehyde, wet grass, jasmine. Then to the middle notes: rose, ylang-ylang, iris. Final base note: geranium peppermint.

After half a month and dozens of failures, he finally made a bottle of No. 5 perfume of acceptable quality!

He was able to succeed within half a month, mainly due to the very detailed introduction of each step in [No. 5 Perfume Formula].

Proportion, temperature, humidity, method, process, etc., are detailed to every small step.

And there are many examples of the consequences of mistakes.

At the same time, it also explains the specific situation after each process is successful.

In this way, Li Lin, a perfume novice, was able to develop it in half a month!

Anyway, you just follow the instructions above!

"The perfume market in the 19th century was still very prosperous! I hope this No. 5 perfume can make me a lot of money!" Li Lin looked at the perfume in the glass bottle in his hand and prayed secretly.

Today, at the end of the nineteenth century, the perfume industry has not ushered in breaking down barriers. The concept and inheritance of perfume brands are not yet deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

Many people buy perfumes in addition to the perfumes of the most popular perfume families, or the perfumes of perfume shops opened by some famous perfumers. Most ordinary people buy perfumes produced by small perfume workshops, or perfumes blended by ordinary perfumers.

Unlike later generations, perfumes are branded and various perfume stores!

Li Lin has inquired about these days, the most famous perfume is Guerlain perfume, the Guerlain series of perfumes began in 1828, especially last year, the perfumer of the fragrance family formulated a perfume named Ji Qi, which For the first time, this perfume incorporates artificial essences and natural fragrances. Its style is different from all previous perfumes. Now it is very popular in many places in Europe! Most of them are used by nobles!

Li Lin also knew that this perfumer was also known as the originator of modern perfumes in later generations!

But this perfume is aimed at high-end customers, not even wealthy families can afford it!

No, it should be said that Guerlain's clients have always been for nobles!

The rest is cologne, as well as some perfume shops owned by famous perfumers--Ajna, some perfume shops owned by famous perfumer Charles and so on.

Generally speaking, at the end of the nineteenth century, the perfume market was booming, but those who really have brand inheritance,

Guerlain is the only one now. Of course, these days it is not called a perfume brand, but a perfume family!

"However, I am very confident in No. 5 perfume!" Li Lin thought to himself.

No. 5 perfume is even better than the most popular Jiqi perfume today, because it launched an epoch-making innovation in modern perfumes, introducing aldehyde (Aldehyde) into the perfume industry, and at the same time using artificial flavors, as many as one hundred More than thirty kinds!

Moreover, Li Lin believes that as the second industrial revolution intensifies, those middle class people suddenly become rich, and they find that perfume, which originally belonged to the nobility, can also be industrialized, and the market prospect is very good. ! More and more people will buy perfume!

In addition, Li Lin also has a trump card - the perfume bottle!

Don't underestimate a good-looking perfume bottle.

Because the first decent and beautiful perfume bottle of human beings came out after 10 years!

The World Expo in 1900 became an important event in the history of perfume. The perfume exhibition hall at the expo is gorgeously decorated, with a large fountain in the middle, surrounded by various perfume exhibitors. Exhibitors invited famous artists at that time to design and decorate their booths. The famous designer Hector once designed the perfume bottle for the perfumer (Mailot).

Now, Li Lin has to take it out ten years in advance!

Perfume bottles, of course, are mainly glass bottles. As for the style, just copy the glass bottles of Chanel perfumes of later generations.

Simple!

"The thing to do now is to apply for a patent for No. 5 perfume, and at the same time, think about how to promote it and become famous in one fell swoop!"

The next day, Li Lin went to the Patent Office to apply for a patent for No. 5 perfume.

On the way back, he bought a newspaper, and suddenly he saw a piece of news that made him a little excited.

In a week's time, Liverpool will be hosting its fifth Perfume Competition!

At that time, all perfumers are welcome to participate, and many people are also welcome to watch the competition!

It also said that this time there will be a famous perfumer as the judge, and his perfume will be on sale at the same time, all with a 20% discount!

Li Lin curled his lips after watching it: "Isn't this a typical game and it's not the key, it's true that he comes to sell products!"

But no matter, he wants to participate in this perfume competition, this is a chance to become famous!

The next day, he ran to sign up.

At the same time, I also learned about the situation in detail.

There will be a total of 5 judges, including 3 perfumers and 2 nobles.

One of the most famous perfumers is Eunice, who is said to be one of the most famous perfumers in Liverpool. As for the other two perfumers, they are average.

The competition is divided into preliminary rounds and final rounds.

The preliminary round is auditioned by three perfumers, and 10 people will be selected to enter the final.
