Peachy.
Maybe your friends should wear it on dates and see if the menfolk are receptive. That could get you some business. That or adding an Echantment Potion to the mix, but that's almost illegal and I didn't just say that.

No of course not, you wouldn't suggest a thing like that. I know I already told you that you smell nice already, but would you like a free sample? It really isn't a trouble at all to make, and right now only a few girls in the Hufflepuff house are wearing it. It really isn't making its way around houses yet.

I smell nice? Oh, are you sure? I don't usually wear perfume but I guess maybe I could try it out. Yeah, why not, it's for a good cause. I don't know anything about perfume so I dunno if there's a certain scent to match occasion or personality or whatever, but you're the expert, so I'll just leave that sort of thing in your hands, if that's all right.

It's okay hun, I think I know just the scent for you. It will be subtle right? I imagine a little more earthy and not as overbearing as musky flower. I think I have something in my bag. Here, smell that and tell me what you think.

Huh, what d'you know, I actually like it. No offense to you, I'm just not the type to actually like... perfumey... make up... girly things.
No problem. I'm sure I can get girls in Ravenclaw wearing some and giving you some business. I can try talking to my cousin Jezebel too, in Gryffindor. Get the market rolling. You don't have to thank me.

I'm not offended in the slighest. I made it yesterday and it kind of reminded me of you a little bit. You're a natural beauty, you completely don't need girly makeup things, but they are fun once in awhile.
That's smashing. Between you and me I think the Gryffindor girls wear the most perfume out of anyone. But I want to thank you. You can actually just keep the entire bottle, as my gift to you.

I think our definitions on beauty might differ a little, but natural, yeah, haha. Apparently you're supposed to use like ten different brushes when you put on makeup. Who even knows anymore; anyway, it's all ridiculously expensive. I suppose if you have the money and you know how to apply it, it can be a good thing, though.
Probably trying to cover up the scent of trouble. Trust me, as a prefect, I smell it all the time around the younger ones. They like to think that they're rebellious, but they're wrong.
Are you serious? I... I really ought to pay you for it, since you worked hard on it and apparently it's kinda personalised, which is actually really cool and even though it's more work that could be a great selling point for your business. Personalised perfumes.

Mmm hmm. You just don't realize that you're gorgeous but you will one day. I don't know but I bet Emme Vance would know about correct makeup application.
I know! They put on a little too much sometimes. Maybe I shouldn't sell it to younger years, to spare us all.
I'm sure. Really, like you said it's personalized and that one is your scent anyway. If I sold it to someone else then not only would it be weird, but I would think it was you and just end up disappointed.

You're really nice but you don't have to say that Probably, but Vance and I aren't exactly on the best of terms. Just never have been.
You probably still could, but maybe in a small vial? That way instead of spraying it on, they can only put like... a fingertip at a time, or something.
Oh. Haha, I guess so. So what's your personalised perfume a mixture of?
Post by Michaela Petrova on Aug 7, 2012 20:57:58 GMT -5
I understand. Not everyone really fits together.
Fancy perfume bottles with skinny necks, nice touch. I never understood it but the world believes the smaller something is the nicer it must be. I'll make first year starter kits, and voila!
About that. I don't know what it is, but the only scent I can't figure out is my own. It's like the irony of being an artist.
Post by Imogen Sauveterre on Aug 7, 2012 21:27:23 GMT -5
That's actually a good idea, haha, starter kits for first years. I mean, not that I want to spread the idea that you're only pretty if you wear make up or something, but for the unlearned girl who wants to learn, but is too shy to ask, a 'starter kit' might be just the thing.
Hm. I think you'd be something... kinda sweet? Maybe something with a bit of apple, but not too strong of an apple scent. Just enough to go "What is that smell... it's nice... oh it's apples." Or something. But again, haha, I really don't know.
Post by Michaela Petrova on Aug 7, 2012 22:42:57 GMT -5
Exactly right. They really should experience their own innate beauty first before trying to enhance it, which is really all makeup is for. That, and stopping the men dead in their tracks
Apple! I never even thought of that. Now that you mention it, it sounds ideal. Look at you go, you do have a creative flair in you after all. Like an apple...."Apple's Delight." Apple with a hint of vanilla. Can I pull that off?
