Sample Answers
Do you use perfume? I do wear perfume, but not every day. I like to save it for special occasions or when I'm going out with friends. I think it's a nice way to boost my confidence and feel more put together. Plus, it's a great way to leave a good impression.
What kinds of perfume do you like? I'm really into floral scents, especially rose and lavender. I find them calming and feminine. I also like citrus-based perfumes, like lemon or grapefruit, because they're uplifting and energizing. I think the right scent can really affect your mood, you know, so I try to choose one that matches my personality.
Would you give perfume as a gift? Absolutely! I think perfume is a thoughtful gift because it's something personal and intimate. It shows you've put thought into the person's tastes and preferences. I'd give perfume to a close friend or family member, maybe for a birthday or holiday. It's a nice way to show you care.
Are there any scents that have a special meaning to you? Actually, yes. My grandmother used to wear this one perfume, Chanel No. 5, and every time I smell it, I'm reminded of her. It's a really nostalgic scent for me. I also associate the smell of vanilla with happy memories of baking with my mom when I was a kid. Smell is such a powerful trigger for memories, don't you think?
