Abstract: So, for us as amateurs to distinguish "the expression of perfume," the darkness is good; a place where absolutely no noise is audible is good; the morning is good; early summer is good; it is good to be alone; it is good not to speak; it is good to try one perfume per hour; it is good to wait one hour after eating; application to a piece of cloth is better than direct use; it is good to experiment twice, with eyes open and closed; it is good to experiment with many different distances; it is good for men and women to experiment separately; a day with no wind is good; and even better is to experiment with the senses in total nudity.
