Spoiled By Mr. Russell By Luminous Night Chapter 580

Chapter 580

The fact that the whole place was quiet amplified the noise in the corner.

"You're going to lose this time!"

“Don't speak too soon. That might not be the case!"

“We've already had a whiff of Ben's. I don't believe that yours can be better than his."

Lily glanced over, and the waiter soon arrived with a few glasses of water and set them all in front of
her, one after another. She took the opportunity to ask him, "What are they doing?"

She assumed they were drinking shots if this were a regular bar.

However, it did not sound like that was the case.

The waiter followed Lily's line of sight and smiled before explaining, "It may not be obvious for you
since it's your first time here, but I assume you must be a perfumer yourself. Do you not know what
scent work is?"

"Scent work?" The first thought that came to Lily was, “Isn't that something police dogs do?”

"I'm not talking about that. I'm talking about a game! They are two different things!" Seeing that there
were no customers around, he took a rag and began wiping the bar as he chatted.

"Oh? A game?"

The waiter noticed her confusion and explained patiently, "People will gather here at a certain time and
compete with their scents. They'll have to prepare their own scents beforehand, and several others will



judge them to see whose scent contains the most unique ingredient, the most distinctive, the most
layers, and so on.There's a lot to learn from playing this."

Then with a wave of his hand, he assumed that she still did not understand. "Well, it's just a small
competition at the end of the day. There are people out there who are interested in cockfights, and
there are people who compete on who has the better wine. Some even compete with their poetry.
Here, we compete with scents."

At this moment, the waiter noticed someone coming in and left to greet the customers. Although he had
only briefly told Lily about what was going on, it piqued her interest.

A scent work competition? Lily had never heard of anything like that in Sapphine, nor had she seen it
when she was abroad. She had witnessed all sorts of games, but this was the first time she had heard
of such a small-natured competition. It sounded intriguing. While she carefully sipped the different cups
of water, her eyes were fixated on the table at the corner, wondering what ingredients they had put in
their scents.

Even as a professional perfumer, it was impossible to guarantee that one would know all the raw
materials used.

This world was rich with natural resources with countless different raw materials that would smell
differently depending on their extraction methods. This endless exploration was the one thing that
brought her joy.

Often, many unique raw materials were found in inadvertent places like this.

For example, the wood scent she had gotten from Benedict was created through several forms of
extraction and distillation before the essential oi] was finally made. However, due to the scarcity of raw



materials, besides the fact that Benedict said that he gave her everything he had, she did not start on
her fragrance.

“Admit defeat already. What did you even bring? This has no smell at all."

"That's right. I didn't smell anything. I thought it was my nose!"

"Give in already. It’s really embarrassing for you to lose this way!"

Lily heard the cries in unison.

When she turned her head over, she saw the girl that was surrounded by the crowd. The woman's pale
face was flushed, probably from the pressure of being surrounded. "You guys don't understand it at all!"
