Eleanora talked about perfume for a long, long time. She went on for about as long as it took a military buff to answer the question, “Is the A6M Zero strong?” It was one thing to talk about the turning performance and its weapons, but they would also go on and on about flight ranges and the quality of fuel back in the day, then add on the reasons for their opinion that it was wrong to compare air superiority fighters to land-based interceptors. At the end of it all, their conclusion would be unclear.

I was the only one who had steeled myself for a long lecture on something I didn’t care about. Everyone else surrounding Eleanora was earnestly listening to Eleanora’s thoughts. Some were even taking notes.

“After testing them all, what left an impression on me the most was Patchouli’s newest product. The design of the bottle made me think it would be a chypre, but it was definitely a fougère.”

“We do sell this one as a chypre,” one employee commented.

“I can see why,” Eleanora said with a nod. “There are some women who steer clear of fougère perfumes. I believe citrusy perfumes will continue to grow in popularity. I think that’s a good thing, since not many people dislike citrus notes...”

“There aren’t very many new releases for gourmand fragrances. It’s unfortunate, since we know that gourmands are one of your favorite types of perfume, Lady Eleanora,” an employee pointed out. “We do make one in house, but it’s gotten less than stellar reviews.”

What language is this? There are so many technical terms that I have no idea what they’re saying. The only word I’ve heard before is “Eleanora.”

Eleanora had explained some of these concepts in the past, but I didn’t know the terminology that went with these descriptions. I couldn’t swap out the terms for Japanese equivalents, like I was able to with the menko-like game, so I couldn’t remember the specific vocabulary very well.

I had no idea what they were talking about, but their discussion continued endlessly.

“Really?” Eleanora said curiously. “ I don’t remember seeing an original perfume in the packages...”

“It wasn’t something we could send...” One of the employees reached for a bottle. “Um, we have it over here. Would you mind testing it out for us?”

“Yes, I’m very curious!”

I couldn’t even follow the context clues, so I had no idea what Eleanora was curious about. I silently stood up. No one seemed to pay attention, and I was able to wander around the store on my own.

“This is...” Eleanora spoke voiced her opinions with confidence. “Hm, it seems like there’s some kind of animal-based scent mixed in. I wonder what the base notes are like... It seems like those notes aren’t meshing well, so it may need to mature for longer before they are cohesive. It’s too strong as it is, so you also might want to lower the concentration...”

“Yes, I see, this is very helpful.”

As I stared at the bottles lined up on the spotless shelves and desks, I could still hear their conversation.
