"That kind of feeling, like flames fiercely burning you to ashes..."
Chloe gave a small smile, nodded, and then quietly watched them.
The judges exchanged looks, a little nervous inside, worrying that the legendary "Star" could be the biggest upset of the competition. But under Chloe's gaze, they still waved the scent strips in their hands and continued to take a whiff!
After a while, the expressions of the judges began to brighten.
"Uh huh, that fiery feeling is slowly fading..."
"It really feels like something's being incinerated, not really my cup of tea though..."
"Yes! But there's this weird sense of exhilaration in my heart, yet also a bit of disappointment..."
The judges' tone and facial expressions revealed a sense of repression.
Chloe's expression was slightly down. Her smile faded, seemingly stuck in a sense of helplessness and sorrow.
After some time, Chloe raised her head again, looking at the judges who were watching her ,their faces all displaying a suppressed look.
"This piece can easily stir up the user's emotions, but these emotions..."
"This piece, it's just too depressing. The only thing that gets my spirits up is the sheer intensity, the sacrifice..."
"I believe as perfumers we should create beauty, bring people happiness, not heartache! This piece..."
At this point, Chloe suddenly smiled, "Please, give it another shot!"
The judges frowned, but lowered their heads to smell the scent on the strips again.
