Sample Answers

Do you wear perfume? Actually, 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 find that it gives me a confidence boost and makes me feel more put together. My favorite scent is a light, floral one that's not too overpowering.

What kind of perfume do you like? I'm really into citrus-based perfumes right now. I love the way they smell fresh and uplifting. I think it's because I live in a pretty busy city, so I need something that's gonna cut through all the noise and pollution. Plus, citrus scents just remind me of summer and sunshine, you know, happy times.

What does perfume mean to you? For me, perfume is all about the memories and emotions it evokes. I remember my grandma used to wear this one perfume that I just loved, and every time I smell it now, it takes me back to her house when I was a kid. It's like a sensory trigger that instantly puts a smile on my face. So, perfume is more than just a scent – it's a connection to people and places that matter to me.

Do you give perfume as a gift? Yeah, I do give perfume as a gift, but only to people I'm really close to. I think it's a pretty personal thing, you know? You gotta know someone's tastes and preferences before you can pick out a scent that they'll really love. But when I do give perfume as a gift, I try to choose something that's unique and special, like a niche brand or a limited edition fragrance. It's a way of showing I put thought into it.
