Welcome to Kevin's English Room Podcast.
Hello.
I think it's me. I have to apologize.
Oh.
When you came in the room, you said it smelledkind of milky.
Yeah.
I'm right now trying out several perfumes rightnow.
Today, I did a new one.
And I think that I think because I'm smelling itright now.
Okay.
Yeah.
Okay.
Can you feel it?
Um...
I think it's the perfume that I'm having.
The scent.
Let me check the bin.
Yeah, the bin. Try it.
It's not something pleasant like that.
Oh, so it's not like perfumey?
This one.
Oh, the garbage can?
Okay.
Yeah, that one.
Okay.
Yeah.
All right.
It's like a...
It's more like a...
milky in a bad way, you know.
It's like a rotten kind of...
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
That's the one.
All right.
It came from.
Okay.
Yeah.
But I noticed you trying something new.
Yeah.
You know, it's difficult because at the store, itfeels fresh.
But after three hours, it might feel likesomething else.
Like I'm feeling right now.
What I'm smelling right now coming up
isn't what I thought it was going to be like from...
I wanted to be more fresh, like something thatsuits summer.
Oh, I see.
But I guess not.
Yeah.
Okay.
Yeah.
Do you wear colognes and shit?
No, not really.
Not at all?
Sometimes.
Not today.
Well, not today.
How do you, you know, how do you purchase them?
How do you get to love them?
Like, how do you like get to know them?
Because like at the store, it just feels, youknow, you only get the top note.
True, true.
So I, for example, I go to the...
Well, I go to those stores and I try it and seehow it goes.
Oh, I see.
And then if I like it, you go to the store againand buy it.
So you go full on.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Use it the way you'd use it actually.
Right, right, right.
But like then if you do that, you only get to doit once, right?
So like if there's like five, five colognes in thestore, you gotta do it five times, right?
True, true.
Right?
Only if all of them is in your interest, right?
That's like, it's a little...
Yeah.
I feel like I know some, like some elements that Ilike.
So I don't, I just try.
So if they have five and two of them are like myrange.
Yeah.
And then I try once, see if I like it.
Now and then try next one, maybe.
03:00
And now maybe.
And then I don't buy it.
But you gotta do every one of them, right?
You gotta go to the store every single time.
Yeah, yeah, right, right, right.
True.
Thinking about buying one of these like, you knowhow they have like mini ones?
And there's like how like a store sells like a sixpack of all of their cologne.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Think about trying that.
Are you a boy?
No.
I'm thinking about it.
Like maybe that would work better.
Yeah, I think so.
Have you done it before?
No?
It's like mini try out packs?
No, I don't think so.
I don't think so.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
But it's difficult.
Like it's not like if you buy it, it's somethinglike this.
And it's not like a weak thing.
Like you need a few months to use it.
Right, right.
Yeah, it sucks.
Yeah, yeah.
So you're a boy or you're not trying?
So the one I have right now, I found these littlepen sized, stick sized ones.
So I was like, nah, at the store, it felt great.
And it wasn't that expensive.
It's small, you buy it.
Yeah, I bought that one.
Yeah.
But I think I feel like the middle note right nowisn't not something I like.
Unfortunately.
Yeah, yeah.
But I guess most of the people does like that.
They buy it and then like half use it and justkeep the bottle.
Yeah, right.
Yeah, they're not into it that much.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
It's gotta be a better way.
Yes, yes, yes.
It's gotta be a better way.
Must be.
Yeah.
They have like some like two hand thing.
And like regularly that you got like a littlething every month.
Oh, really?
Yeah.
Oh, OK, OK.
You can try it like a new thing every month.
I wonder if you can specify.
I don't like this.
I don't like sweets or something like that.
Yeah, I think you can do that.
You can request something like that.
Yeah, you don't want to get like you can likedefinitely rule out.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
From like without even starting anything.
I don't like this and that'll be better if I cando that.
Maybe that fits you.
Yeah, that would.
What kind of smells do you like?
I don't know, actually.
I don't know.
But you don't like something very sweet.
That I know.
That I know.
OK.
But other than that, they all smell great.
Actually, they actually do.
06:00
Like some of the popular ones like woody ones.
Yeah.
What?
Like soapy ones.
Oh, yeah.
Leatherish ones.
Like spicy ones.
Yeah.
They all smell great to me.
They do.
Yeah, yeah.
And you know how in some stores you can like, likeLabo, you can blend shit.
Yeah, I don't think I can, I don't have, I don'thave any idea like what to start with.
Yeah.
How to like, how to make it.
Yeah, like I don't, if I mean, yeah, if I hadlike, I like this and I like this, so I want toblend it, that'll be great.
But like, I like everything.
So like any blend would be great to me.
That's why I can't go.
Yeah.
I need guidance.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Have you done the blending thing before?
How was it?
Me neither.
I didn't like, ended up with, well, I don't knowactually.
So like, they're all great is how you ended upwith?
Well, to me, it's like more, the more I saysomething, the more it gets strange.
Oh, OK.
Yeah.
Is that the Labo?
Yeah, the Labo.
Yeah.
But it was in France.
Oh, OK.
And my language wasn't that like...
Precise with the description.
And I didn't know those like, you know, I'm not aprofessional with those.
Like the name of the scent and everything.
OK.
And I don't have, you know, just like you, like astrong preference like that.
So, yeah.
Ended up with, I just bought like the very usual.
The one that's already made?
I mean, I get that.
I can imagine myself that happening.
I was like, I'm sorry for all those things, but Ichoose this one.
So you thought that that one was better.
Yeah, I could make better one.
You could make a better one.
OK.
But actually not.
Is it unlimited?
Is it unlimited, the amount of scent you can mixin there?
Well, to me, I felt so.
Oh, OK.
It felt like unlimited to me.
OK.
But I don't know.
Maybe they have limit.
How many did you go for?
I tried three, four, I guess.
Three, four mix?
Yeah.
OK.
It's not that much, I guess.
Oh, yeah.
Yeah.
But that was like too much enough for me to makeit like confusing.
Can you specify?
I want this as the top note and I want this as themiddle note.
09:00
Maybe.
Is that even possible?
OK.
I don't know.
It felt to me like they have this
like this seed of perfume.
And it has top note like this, middle note likethis and last note like this.
And it's like, how do you blend them?
OK.
So they're professionals.
So maybe you can say something like an order.
Yeah.
Then they can make it maybe.
OK.
I see.
But yeah, I didn't.
I wasn't even in that level.
I was just like a kid.
OK.
Playing around and just messing around.
You're a high schooler, though, right?
No, no, no.
Just a few.
You know, I went to Paris.
Oh, OK.
That.
I see.
I see.
OK.
Is it different from Japan?
So it's like different scent?
Most of them are the same, but they have likespecified version in like a Paris special.
Oh, that's great.
That's great.
And I ended up with buying the Paris special.
Oh, OK.
Well, I mean, yeah, at least you got them.
As an souvenir, huh?
Yeah.
But it's too sweet to me.
So you're not OK.
You're not using it as much.
Yeah, not in Japan at least.
It's too.
While I was in Paris, I used it and I felt like Ikind of I was blending in the city.
OK.
But in Japan, it's too.
True.
Too sweet.
True.
Like, you know, when it's a tourist.
Yeah.
When the cologne is too much, right?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I get that.
But even if you just do like a little spray, it'stoo strong.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Well, at least to me, maybe people doesn't noticeit.
But me myself, I feel like it's like too.
It feels to me like, oh, I'm from somewhere, Pariskind of.
It's like I'm saying it out loud.
OK.
Yeah.
Is that that kind of smell of like that?
You know, oh, that's the Kaigai smell.
The Kaigai cologne smell.
I would do it and come next week.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Can you bring the actual?
Oh, sure.
Of course.
I want to try.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
It's interesting.
Yeah.
Thanks for listening, guys.
Bye-bye.
