Starting My Treasure Hunting In England

Thanks to the convenient transportation now, Mary took a flight from Paris to Sofia at around two o'clock this afternoon, and then took a vehicle sent by the manor to Liang En's side.

"Do you want to make a Versailles series of perfumes? That is indeed a good idea. At that time, the Palace of Versailles was home to the works of France's top perfume masters. Unfortunately, at least 1/3 of them have been lost now."

After hearing what Liang En said, Marie Antoinette, who was tired of life, quite agreed with her. Although she was not a competent queen back then, she was definitely the best in terms of luxury.

"Of course, most of these lost perfumes are of second-class quality, with some obvious flaws. They don't have much restoration value, but I still hope to improve and reproduce some of the best ones."

"I thought you wanted me to restore those things exactly as they were." After listening to Mary's evaluation and setting the tone, Liang En asked curiously.

"After all, I think that period of life in Versailles should be very important to you, so I think you might want to experience something from that palace again."

"You are right, but since I talked with Miss Jeanne before, I realized my previous mistakes, so I don't miss the life in Versailles as much as I used to." Mary shook her head and said, then raised the question eyebrows.

"More importantly, I was not the kind of conservative person in Versailles. In my eyes, it doesn't matter whether it's traditional, modern, or even futuristic, as long as the quality is good enough."

"So even in my time I would not choose those spices that have a long history but are not fashionable. Let alone now. So as long as your change is good, I will happily accept it."

"That's good, I think the next work should be easy." Liang En said with a smile, and then took out a lot of various materials from the cabinet next to him. "

These materials were the raw materials of spices that Liang En had brought with him before. According to tradition, as an alchemist, he had the right to take away the unused raw materials as payment, and people who invited alchemists often prepared several materials.

"These materials are very good, even better than those I encountered back then." After careful inspection, Mary gave Liang En a positive answer.

"Of course, there are not many things you can find in your time, and after long-distance transportation, the raw materials of many medicines will deteriorate." Liang En put the medicinal materials on the experimental table and said.

The development of science and technology will change many things. To give the simplest example, even emperors in ancient times could not eat watermelons in winter, but today an ordinary person can do it.

The same is true for transportation. At least in ancient times, it was very difficult for people to obtain raw materials from distant places, and for most organic raw materials, long-distance transportation would damage the raw materials themselves.

So today Mary still appreciates those modern measures very much. At least from her perspective, these fresher raw materials can produce better perfumes.

Some things are standard and hard to master, but easy to master, so in just two days they used the ancient formulas of the Palace of Versailles to create a perfume.

"Let me smell it." The first time she saw the finished product, Mary took out a dropper from the perfume bottle and put it on the back of her hand and blew it gently. After the alcohol dried, she raised her hand and put it under her nose to smell it. smell.

"A very good perfume. The top notes include rosemary, orange blossom, orange, gooseberry leaf, jasmine, rose, neroli oil, bergamot, rose, and lemon." After smelling it for more than ten seconds, Mary used Said in a determined tone.

"The middle notes should include sandalwood, patchouli, lilac, orris root, vetiver, ylang-ylang and lily of the valley. The base notes include tolu balsam, amber, musk, benzoin balm, civet, Vanilla, cedar and finally resin.”

"Awesome, you got all the answers right." After hearing Mary say the last flavor, Liang En nodded in approval. "What do you think of this thing?"

"Very good, at least in my opinion it can really give people a sense of magnificence from the Palace of Versailles." After thinking for a few seconds, Mary gave a very positive answer.

"At least if this fragrance really existed back then, I would definitely have made it my first choice for daily use, but there was no one that could reach this level."

"Of course, I also know that it is not because the level of the perfumer is not enough, but because the times have resulted in both raw materials and historical accumulation being inferior to modern times."

"Yes, times are evolving." Looking at the bottle of golden perfume in front of him, Liang En nodded and said, "I think we can go talk to Mr. Guerlain."

"You are really a historian, not a perfumer." After smelling the perfume dripping on the back of his hand, Mr. Guerlain raised his eyes in surprise and looked at Liang En across from him.

"I 100% confirm this, and I can proudly say that from the perspective of purely discovering ruins, there is no one alive better than me."

"Of course, I don't doubt it, and that's what shocked me the most," Mr. Guerlain said, putting the bottle aside.

"I have seen many geniuses who can span multiple fields, but there are definitely not many people who can achieve your level. And the most famous one among them is Leonardo da Vinci."

"Of course I'm far from being as good as that master. It's just that my historical research has taught me a lot of techniques." Liang En put his right hand on his left chest and bowed slightly, then said in a somewhat exaggerated tone.

Then he returned to his original appearance, then looked at Mr. Guerlain seriously and said. "Okay, now let's talk about the most important question. What do you think of this new perfume?"

"Theoretically, I should belittle your perfume at this time in order to lower the price, but I can't say these disparaging words now, because the perfume you made is much better than I imagined."

Mr. Guerlain picked up the dropper and took out a drop from the perfume bottle and smelled it on the back of his hand, then showed a naughty smile.

"At least in my opinion, this perfume is much more mature than most perfumes that are designed for the first time, and can even be put into production directly."

"And both the name you gave the fragrance and the bottle you put it in are so apt, at least from my perspective, that I'm very happy to be working with you on this."

After solving the most critical technical issues, Elizabeth discussed the details of cooperation with the legal staff brought by Mr. Guerlain.

Fortunately, after the previous discussions between the two parties, everyone roughly knows where the other party's bottom line is? So after just half a day, they reached an agreement.

"I hope our next cooperation will go well." During dinner time, Mr. Guerlain raised his glass and said.

"Yes, I wish everything goes well." Liang En also raised his glass. "I hope everyone likes this fragrance."
