@arcencielreve : ❛ before you do anything, try this and tell me what you think. ❜ (Natasha @ Nathalie)

Being accosted by children wasn't exactly on Nathalie's to-do list for the day, and yet, she doesn't quite have it in her to be surprised : it seemed as if the common assumption was that she was a direct throughline to Gabriel. While that was somewhat true, it wasn't as if she had anything to do with the fashion side of the industry — outside of scheduling and wrangling models. She didn't have a creative bone in her body.

But... she was here representing the brand, in some way, shape or form, and so when the young student pressed the glass bottle into her hands, she hesitated for only a moment before exhaling a sigh, "...I'm not a perfumer, I'm afraid I won't have any observations that would really be beneficial."

Still, despite the weak protest, she spritzed the perfume onto her wrist, giving it a moment to settle before smelling it. A low hum in the back of her throat is the only immediate reaction, Nathalie's expression as difficult to read as it ever was : she'd expected something youthful, childish... not something as mature and full-bodied as this. The heart notes shone through cleanly, without being muddled by the top... Truthfully, an impressive feat. And a student made this?

"...It's not at all what I expected." And then, with a soft smile, "It's lovely. You clearly have a gift for this sort of thing, Miss...?"
