During the '80s, mannequins set the beauty trends—and real women were expected to follow. The dummies were "coming to life," while the ladies were breathing anesthesia and going under the knife. The beauty industry promoted a "return to femininity" as if it were a revival of natural womanhood—a flowering of all those innate female qualities supposedly suppressed in the feminist '70s. Yet the "feminine" traits the industry celebrated most were grossly unnatural—and achieved with increasingly harsh, unhealthy, and punitive measures.

The beauty industry, of course, has never been an advocate of feminist aspirations. This is not to say that its promoters have a conscious political program against women's rights, just a commercial mandate to improve on the bottom line. And the formula the industry has counted on for many years—aggravating women's low self-esteem and high anxiety about a "feminine" appearance—has always served them well. (American women, according to surveys by the Kinsey Institute, have more negative feelings about their bodies than women in any other culture studied.) The beauty makers' motives aren't particularly thought out or deep. Their overwrought and incessant instructions to women are more mindless than programmatic; their frenetic noise generators create more static than substance. But even so, in the '80s the beauty industry belonged to the cultural loop that produced backlash feedback. Inevitably, publicists for the beauty companies would pick up on the warning signals circulating about the toll of women's equality, too—and amplify them for their own purposes.

"Is your face paying the price of success?" worried a 1988 Nivea skin cream ad, in which a business-suited woman with a briefcase rushes a child to day care and catches a glimpse of her career-pitted skin in a store window. If only she were less successful, her visage would be more radiant. "The impact of work stress . . . can play havoc with your complexion," Mademoiselle warned; it can cause "a bad case of dandruff," "an eventual loss of hair" and, worst of all, weight gain. Most at risk, the magazine claimed, are "high-achieving women," whose comely appearance can be ravaged by "executive stress." In ad after ad, the beauty industry hammered home its version of the backlash thesis: women's professional progress had downgraded their looks; equality had created worry lines and cellulite. This message was barely updated from a century earlier, when the late Victorian beauty press had warned women that their quest for higher education and employment was causing "a general lapse of attractiveness" and "spoiling complexions."

The beauty merchants incited fear about the cost of women's occupational success largely because they feared, rightly, that that success had cost them—in profits. Since the rise of the women's movement in the '70s, cosmetics and fragrance companies had suffered a decade of flat-to-declining sales, hair-product merchandisers had fallen into a prolonged slump, and hairdressers had watched helplessly as masses of female customers who were opting for simple low-cost cuts defected to discount unisex salons. In 1981, Revlon's earnings fell for the first time since 1968; by the following year, the company's profits had plunged a record 40 percent. The industry aimed to restore its own economic health by persuading women that they were the ailing patients—and professionalism their ailment. Beauty became medicalized as its lab-coated army of promoters, and real doctors, prescribed physician-endorsed potions, injections for the skin, chemical "treatments" for the hair, plastic surgery for virtually every inch of the torso. (One doctor even promised to reduce women's height by sawing their leg bones.) Physicians and hospital administrators, struggling with their own financial difficulties, joined the industry in this campaign. Dermatologists faced with a shrinking teen market switched from treating adolescent pimples to "curing" adult female wrinkles. Gynecologists and obstetricians frustrated with a sluggish birthrate and skyrocketing malpractice premiums traded their forceps for liposuction scrapers. Hospitals facing revenue shortfalls opened cosmetic-surgery divisions and sponsored extreme and costly liquid-protein diet programs.

The beauty industry may seem the most superficial of the cultural institutions participating in the backlash, but its impact on women was, in many respects, the most intimately destructive—to both female bodies and minds. Following the orders of the '80s beauty doctors made many women literally ill. Antiwrinkle treatments exposed them to carcinogens. Acid face peels burned their skin. Silicone injections left painful deformities. "Cosmetic" liposuction caused severe complications, infections, and even death. Internalized, the decade's beauty dictates played a role in exacerbating an epidemic of eating disorders. And the beauty industry helped to deepen the psychic isolation that so many women felt in the '80s, by reinforcing the representation of women's problems as purely personal ills, unrelated to social pressures and curable only to the degree that the individual woman succeeded in fitting the universal standard—by physically changing herself.

Sparking Joy (Jean Patou, 1930)

What's the best perfume of all time? Objectively, I don't think that's an answerable question; it might be that the absolute best perfume (which means what?) is something designed by an artisan outside the French tradition or the Arabian tradition, or not by a professional nose at all, but a single bottle mixed up by a hobbyist in some quiet little corner of the world. We just don't know. But much the way the American Film Institute decrees that Citizen Kane is the best [American] film of all time, what do Those in the Know think is the best? Chanel No. 5, right? The top seller in the world for decades?

Not at all. In 2000, the Fragrance Foundation FiFi Awards bestowed the public's choice for "Scent of the Century" on Jean Patou's Joy.

I remember reading this in the newspaper at the time, back when we had newspapers; I hadn't even worn fragrance since Sun-Ripened Raspberry body splash in high school, and I was shocked that it wasn't Chanel No. 5. I have to think "the public" meant "knowledgeable members of the perfume industry," because I had never heard of Joy, and most people I've talked to (who aren't hanging out on on fragrance forums) haven't, either. I feel like many of us would reflexively say "No. 5" because Chanel's done that good a job at shoring up their flagship's legend.

The story of Jean Patou's Joy is the opposite: when a fragrance isn't given the respect it deserves.

(Joy ads, 1947 and 1978; more here)

Famously, back when Joy was famous, perfumer Henri Alméras created Joy for Parisian couturier Jean Patou, as an oddly defiant, perhaps even life-affirming reaction to the 1929 Wall Street crash. At the time, it was "the costliest perfume in the world": "One ounce of the lavish scent contains 10,600 jasmine flowers and 28 dozen May roses"—and it cost $40 ($728.45!!!). And I might say it's a little obscene to create such an extravagant thing in the middle of the Great Depression—and yet, somehow, Joy was a huge success. A master perfumer created a work of art for a luxury vendor, and people bought it, and they loved it. Jackie Kennedy wore it; Vivien Leigh wore it. I've been wearing Joy for three weeks, and if I could have saved up enough pennies in 1930 to buy a tiny vial, I could see myself doing it, just to have that little something.

Joy was explicitly intended to be "a lighthouse" in a dark time of deprivation, and it wasn't overpriced just for the hell of it; it was the costliest in the sense of quality. It might best be known for its rose-jasmine pairing, but besides the entire region of Grasse crammed into every bottle, Joy also contains "leafy green notes," tuberose, ylang-ylang, aldehydes, peach (our old friend undecalactone?), lily of the valley, orris root, orchid, civet, musk, and sandalwood; Wikipedia also lists "michelia," which may mean magnolia here.

I'll admit up front that I have no idea when the sample I bought last month was produced, but the “juice,” as they say, looks very new; it doesn't have the deep dark color that I've seen on vintage bottles of Joy. It's got to be one of the newer formulations. Tom at Perfume Posse can speak for the older ones:

The [2022 sample] I received smells thinner than I remember - more skimming over those fields of flowers than just bashing into them, face-first. The Joy I remember reveled in the excess: bowers of roses, masses of lilies, clouds of tuberose backed with some of that “don’t F with me” musk that must have been civet back in the day. This is nice. Nice and sweet, with only a hint of the previous hedonist.

Angela at Now Smell This:

For the longest time, to me Joy smelled dense, like a Victorian room with the curtains pulled. I couldn’t feel my way around in it. The turning point for me came from hearing current Patou house perfumer Thomas Fontaine describe Joy’s sillage as lush and old fashioned. I’d been trying to make Joy a light, happy perfume. Really, it’s a gorgeously constructed velvet overcoat, heavy and plush and meticulously made. It’s red wine, not champagne.

The Scented Hound:

Joy (current version eau de parfum) is truly a joy when it first goes on the skin as it’s full of lush ylang-ylang and soapy white flowers and bright aldehydes. [...] As Joy continues its slow and deliberate path, a jasmine blends itself with the rose…but combined, they’re still very controlled and incredibly proper. Joy doesn’t transform or morph very much, but in the end, the florals fade and soften a bit, and what you’re left is a lightly warm breeze of light floral sandalwood musk.

The version I have is clearly the newer one—I actually would say it's more like champagne, not in the literal effervescent way (see the Coco Mademoiselles), but in the sense that this Joy is light. Not weak, but light, the way I described the aspect of No. 5 that I could stand as "limpid." In my head, Joy is a beautiful sunset pink color, sheer, almost verging into red. The jasmine comes out the strongest for me at first, maybe with the slight presence of an aldehyde, but then, on top of that, the biggest, fullest, realest rose I've ever smelled in a perfume. If I get cut flowers for my birthday, I always save any roses in the bouquet and dry them. Jean Patou's Joy smells like a rose that is so fully blown that the petals fall apart in my hand when I try to pull it from the vase. Not decaying, not that far gone, but the rose's absolute full potential of bloom, and so vividly that I can see the texture of the petals. If you want to tell me there’s 336 roses in here, I will believe you.

On my skin, the rose floats there on top, on a bed of headier florals, for at least half an hour; in my notes, I jotted down that a spicy ylang-ylang "with a slight bubblegum connotation" (see Samsara for more on the bubbleylang) shows up then, and by an hour-twenty, the whole thing has come together, all flowers present at once in a sweet, soft, heady, slightly spicy, rose-pink glow.

[Sidebar: At three hours, Joy reminded me in some non-literal way of Murray & Lanman's Florida Water, also billed as "the Richest of All Perfumes" in the late 1800s. (Of course I got myself a bottle of an actual Gilded Age perfume they still sell today for $4, are you kidding me?) I've seen a lot of Florida Water formulas (which are still used today in various spiritual traditions), and I've mostly seen lavender, clove, and multiple citrus notes as the components, sometimes with rose, ylang-ylang, and/or cinnamon as well. Unlike many, many French perfumes, Jean Patou's Joy doesn't have any citrus top notes at all, so I'm not sure what I'm getting in common with Florida Water, other than the florals and a certain spiciness that comes out late in Joy's game for me. I'd like to think it's purely the "richness" that reminds me of the Costliest Perfume in the World.]

"Warm breeze" is a good way to describe Joy's drydown; it's not heavy or old-fashioned to me at all, and I can't specifically pick out musk at any point (clearly, this sample was made after real animal musk was banned in 1979; anything animalic still here would be synthetic). I barely get sandalwood—it's just gorgeous florals, and if you (I) haven't smelled the original Joy, you aren't capable of missing it. Now Smell This has a breakdown of how the eau de toilette and the eau de parfum differed as of 2008; I got the EdP. I don't feel like it goes from light to dark, but it does smell very lush and complex to me. It feels like it sings, and you know what? When I first smelled it, I thought it smelled like a number of things I'd tried recently, particularly Coco Mademoiselle L'Eau Privée. That glowing pink rose-jasmine-ylang-sandalwood combination—and then I realized, no, those perfumes smell like Joy. Joy is so iconic that it's used as a building block, a quotation, in so many fragrances that came after it.

And it's so, so easy to wear—in fairness, I haven't worn the heavier original formulation, but I'm not even sure I'd want to. This Joy is so easy and lovely and gorgeous—I've been wondering if I'd ever find my one signature scent to rule them all, and while Joy doesn't have all my favorite notes, I wouldn't mind if it became mine.

But here's the thing: they don't manufacture Joy anymore. You can still buy what's already been produced, for now, but as existing supplies sell out, it'll only get more expensive with time. Because someone bought the rights to Jean Patou's Joy for the sole purpose of not producing it.

You're about to get a second post about who did that and why.

Perfume discussion masterpost

[revasserium]

well you said we can talk about perfumes so I hope you don’t mind questions that might sound pretty dumb, but I’m a curious person LOL how do you get to work at a fragrance house? can you study about fragrance/scents or is it something you get train on academies or even department stores? like how do you get there? bc were I come from, careers are a little bit limited and uni majors even more so, so when I actually hear about or encounter someone that works on “uncommon” fields to the standards of society I do wonder ‘can you study for that? or is it not as necessary and you can learn it on the field?’ I hope I’m making sense and not being too ignorant or unintentionally rude:’)

not at all!!!! i don't think a lot of people think about "perfume" as a career path LOL unless you're talking about like retail sales (where you work as an employee for like... chanel and you sell their perfumes or something) but yeah! i'll put under a cut cause i can ramble for ages u__u

to answer your qs:

i got the frag industry kind of by accident! i applied to a marketing internship at a startup right out of college, and it just so happened that the startup i worked for was in fragrance! :)

yes, you can absolutely go to school for fragrance! it's called perfumery school, and the most prestigious/well known one is ISIPCA, which is run out of versailles, but there are a few other ones that are pretty big as well: GIP (grasse institute of perfumery), and the école supérieure du parfum in either paris or grasse. there are a few colleges/unis outside france that offer perfume courses, but they're not entire schools built around perfumery. also, most major fragrances houses will have some kind of apprentice program, for instance givaudan has their own internal perfumery school, MANE does too (at least their website says it does), IFF actually partners with ISIPCA, and Firmenich also has an internal program that looks similar to Giv's (2 year, they jetset you around the world to learn smelling, etc).

but if you really do want to get into fragrance, you should pick a STEM major -- chemistry would probably be your best bet, mathematics being a close second. most, if not all, major perfumery schools require a bachelors in a math/science-related field. so you don't actually go to undergrad for perfumery, you go to grad school for it -- it's a long road for sure, but if this is something you're super passionate about then i say go for it! :)

but to your next question, also yes -- this is something you can learn "in the field" though it's much harder nowadays than it was before. see, before, perfumery was very much one of those "apprenticeship" crafts, like fucking.... ironworking or something, where you have a mentor, and you just like literally apprentice underneath them for like 5 or 7 or even 10+ years. and back then, a lot of the best and most famous perfumers were self taught! because they loved it or their parents worked in the industry, that kind of thing. as shitty as it is, fragrance is still a pretty nepotism-heavy field. and i think that's because it's such an "uncommon field", like you said, that no one really... thinks about it? usually, you don't work in the industry unless you grew up around it or have heard of it before. it's not something that people stumble into (though it does happen!)

i hope that answers all your questions! :D pls don't be afraid to ask more ! like i said this is something that i love so i don't mind chatting/rambling about it!

Character Intro: Clymene (Kingdom of Ichor)

Nicknames- Mother of Secrets by the people of Olympius

Mrs. Famous by Aphrodite

Red by Iapetus

Age- 44 (immortal)

Location- Mykonos, Olympius

Personality- Clymene presents herself publicly as a no-nonsense woman with a hard glamorous exterior to match. Anything less than perfection is unacceptable. She's devious, cunning, and manipulative.

She has the standard abilities of a goddess except shapeshifting. She has a few powers and abilities like gauging a person's social capital with just a touch, summoning microphones, spotlights, and speakers, & teleporting through a blinding flash, similar to a camera.

Clymene is married to Iapetus (Titan god of mortality, pain, & death). At this point, their "relationship" is purely for show. He recently made a semi-permanent move to the Underworld to provide care for their son Prometheus (Titan god of forethought) as he goes through his daily punishment. They have three other sons- Atlas (Titan god of strength & endurance), Epimetheus (Titan god of afterthought), and Menoetius (Titan god of rage, violence, & rash actions). Even though she cares for her sons, she's a better businesswoman than she is a mother. She's recently come into the temporary custody of her granddaughter Aidos (goddess of shame, modesty, humility, & respect). She keeps her opinions about the child's mother Pronoia to herself, though Clymene's dislike for her is well known. She's not at all close to her other grandchildren- The Hyades, Deucalion, & Calypso, mainly due to her overwhelmingly busy schedule. Clymene does keep in touch with her son Epimetheus' kids- Prophasis (goddess of excuses) & Pyrrha even though she also doesn't like their mother very much. When Pyrrha was born, she gifted her a pacifier made out of Imperial Gold & studded with diamonds!

It's no secret to anyone in the pantheon that she's been carrying on an affair with Helios (Titan god of the sun) which started after he was helping her scout properties in Skyros. Despite this, Clymene refuses to be seen with him at public events.

Clymene is the founder/editor-in-chief of Modern Olympus magazine- the most read publication (and #1 magazine) in the country right after The Oracle newspaper. She's also the founder of the Olympian Gala- the biggest annual fundraising gala for the benefit of the country's Museum of Art Costume Institute. Her other businesses include owning the biggest production company and talent agency! She has a line of luxury designer handbags & luggage (Megaleio), where there's often a waiting list to purchase a handbag. She also has a skin care line marketed towards women over 40 called Platinum Luminescence- where all the products contain the faintest drop of ambrosia! She’s released her first fragrance, simply titled Fími. A notable thing is the white gold/gold hardware perfume bottle. The fragrance has notes of floral amber, coco de mer, & ylang ylang. A 250 ml bottle sells for 900 dracmas! Clymene has recently dipped her toes in the culinary industry by opening her own high end eatery called The Luxe. It has high end luxurious sweet treats & food as well! There’s currently two locations- in the Skyline neighborhood and in the state of Olympia. There are plans for a new store in Mykonos. The Luxe has its own official website.

She has her own glamour doll collectibles!

A common price tag for a Megaleio handbag can be 8,000 drachmas! The most expensive bag in her brand is a bag made entirely out of rose gold in the pattern of crocodile leather. The bag's handles (as well as the rest of the bag) is adorned with close to 1,200 miniature diamonds. It costs a whopping 5.5 million drachmas!

Clymene's most esteemed work was the docu-series her production company released, which is about the Titanomachy. Notable subjects that were interviewed in the piece include Gaia (goddess of the earth), Rhea (Titaness of fertility, motherhood, & comfort), and some of the Titans that originally sided with Kronos (Titan of the harvest, time, & fate). Critics noted how emotionally raw they felt after watching.

She has approached Rhea with the idea of having her very own docu-series to "explain her side of the story", but so far, Clymene hasn't heard back from her.

A favorite frozen treat for Clymene is champagne sorbet dusted with edible gold!

Even though she detests Zeus (god of the sky, thunder, & lightning), in public, she strokes his ego.

Clymene has an honorary star on the Pantheon Walk of Fame.

Her go-to drink is a classic martini. She also likes champagne, vodka tonics, white wine, and bellinis. Her usuals from The Roasted Bean are olympian sized flat whites & iced vanilla lattes.

Clymene loves using the Olmorfia ambrosia sheen gloss spray on her long flowy red hair.

She can't stand the Theia (Titaness of sight & heavenly light). Her best friend is Mnemosyne (Titaness of memory & language). Clymene is the singular godmother to The Muses. She's also good friends with Kéfi (goddess of mirth), Matikós (god of performance), Leto (Titaness of demurity & motherhood), Panigýri (goddess of festivals), Orthosia (goddess of wealth), Evimería (goddess of prosperity), Hybris (goddess of insolence, hubris, & reckless pride), Bronte (goddess of thunder), Rhapso (goddess of sewing), Aígli (goddess of glamour), Lyrikós (Titaness of voice & song), Pagoniá (goddess of ice), Astrape (goddess of lightning), Philotes (goddess of sex, friendship, & affection), Litismós (goddess of culture), Phoebe (Titaness of prophecy, the moon, radiant intellect, & mystery), and Dione. Clymene was a mentor to Pheme (goddess of fame). Their relationship has evolved past "mentor/mentee" and into a mother/daughter relationship of sorts. There's an underlying sense of jealousy, on both sides. She also mentored Cleta (goddess of whispers).

In her free time, she loves tanning, sunbathing, going to the spa, shopping, dinning out, yachting, visiting the art galleries, museums, and opera, & watching TV.

Clymene sees cooking as a nuisance, so she eats out often- only eating the best of the best. One of her favorite meals being beluga caviar and a "golden" grilled cheese- french bread soaked in Dom Perignon champagne then baked in with 23K edible gold flakes. It's then stuffed with caciocavallo podolico, a rare delectable cheese. The sandwich is then brushed with white truffle oil. The meal comes with a 4,000 drachma price tag.

The global benzyl salicylate market is projected to grow over the forecast period on the back of the proliferating fragrance and cosmetic industry. People are using a myriad of self-care products, such as musk, soaps, sunscreens, perfumes, and lotions. Benzyl salicylate is the key ingredient in making such products; owing to this the global salicylate market is estimated to witness exemplary growth over the forecast period.

In Q4 2021, USA current-account deficit widened stood at $224.8 billion. However, in Q1 22, CAD rose by 29.6%, reached to $291.4 billion, adding $66.6 billion to the gap. Export of good and services increased by $25.7 billion to reach $1.03 trillion in the first quarter of 2022. However, goods and services deficit were $79.6 billion in June, down $5.3 billion from $84.9 billion in May, revised- reflecting some sight of relief. On the other hand, annual inflation rate in the country hit 8.5%. Energy CPI surged by 32.9% in July 2022, inflating the cost of logistic and some signs to disrupt supply chain whilst electricity cost upsurged by 15.2%, highest since Feb 2006. Apart from that, In July 2022, existing US home sales declined 5.9% to 4.81 million (seasonally adjusted annual rate), the lowest since May of 2020 and below market expectations of 4.89 million. As mortgage rate touches to peak 6%, sales for houses declined for a sixth consecutive month. Global energy crises to remain at focal point, pushing consumers to spend less on the products and services and save more.

On the other hand, the worst is expected to be seen in the European countries especially during 2022 winters. The energy and gas crises has already started grappling the region where in many Western European countries including Germany is looking for coal fired solutions to tackle the gas supply shortage, created by Russian-Ukraine conflict.

Amidst global concerns, market players have started looking for safe investments by holding on to the new technology and product launches. Factors like currency translation, disruption in global supply chain, Anti-China sentiments brewing across the globe, slowdown in Chinese economy, inflated products prices, USD getting stronger every week, decreasing purchasing power and strict measures taken by central banks/institutions across the world to ensure less spending and more saving, could hit the demand for the product and service badly in near future.

Bet on buying e-commerce, Xiaohongshu does not want to be a KOL

At the beginning of 2022, Xiaohongshu launched its self-operated e-commerce project "Little Oasis" again. This time, Xiaohongshu adopted the "store-in-one" model, trying to HE Tuber open up a closed shopping loop from planting to pulling weeds for users. In terms of categories, Little Oasis tested categories such as beauty, skin care products, fragrances, and fashion home furnishings. Then, as the search volume and content of "camping" related topics in community content continued to grow, Little Oasis began to focus on camping, skiing, and cycling. Outdoor sports scenes such as walking and hiking.

However, it is completely different from the conventional e-commerce platform's skillful approach of moving from hot spots to hot items to best sellers. The popular items on Little Oasis only sell about a thousand pieces. Jingzhe Research Institute believes that this is related to Xiaohongshu’s continued mid-to-high-end positioning in category selection and its focus on niche markets.

I have to mention Xiaohongshu’s active user portraits here. Public data shows that Xiaohongshu currently has 260 million active users, of which 72% are users born in the 1990s and more than 50% are users in first- and second-tier cities. A survey on Xiaohongshu’s hot-search word cloud for users in different industries revealed keywords such as “quality,” “guaranteed,” “high unit price,” and “quality of life,” which are probably also Xiaohongshu’s self-operated e-commerce categories. It has never strayed from the line of high quality and high unit price.

This is like a landlord who has a surplus of food, and there is no need to put down his body and do hard work for the time being. This also explains that Xiaohongshu has always been fully vigilant about the community atmosphere of the platform, so any attempt that may harm the community atmosphere will be reconsidered. .

In addition, Xiaohongshu also faces pressure from major manufacturers on the grass-growing track. From 2021 to 2022, Taobao will launch "Wangwang", Pinduoduo will launch "Pinxiaoquan", Tencent will launch "Penguin Huimai", JD.com will have "Grass Planting Show", and Meituan will also launch "Treasure Box" . Surrounded by a pack of wolves, Xiaohongshu had no choice but to go on the defensive if it did not want to become cannon fodder in the fierce battles between big manufacturers, and commercialization was forced to give way to the shaping of community atmosphere.

As for the current reason for choosing to launch a high-profile effort in "buying e-commerce," Xiaohongshu has accumulated a certain reputation among user groups as the community atmosphere has continued to accumulate in recent years. The peak of user growth also makes Xiaohongshu need to use commercial results to prove its value.

Data from the "2023 China Mobile Internet Spring Report" released by QuestMobile shows that China Mobile Internet's monthly active users were 1.208 billion in March 2023, a year-on-year increase of only 2.11%. China's mobile Internet traffic has entered the era of stock.

This has also affected Xiaohongshu’s traffic. As early as the end of 2021, Xiaohongshu’s monthly active users have reached 200 million. Current public data shows that Xiaohongshu’s users range from 260 million to 300 million. Growth increasingly stagnant. In September, Xiaohongshu announced that it would gradually close welfare clubs and small oasis in October and November respectively, and fully focus on "buyer e-commerce". Xiaohongshu e-commerce, which had been dormant for a long time, finally ushered in the competition with other e-commerce companies. The moment of platform battle.

2. How do e-commerce buyers put new wine in old bottles?

Xiaohongshu’s advantage is that it has long-tail creators, allowing content producers to try e-commerce and become buyers. Therefore, Xiaohongshu launched the concept of “buyer e-commerce”, which is in line with its own advantages and differentiated positioning.

However, if you study carefully, you will find that Xiaohongshu is very restrained in its definition of the "buyer concept". It has not taken the initiative to define the core role of "buyer", and the externally declared characteristics of "buyer" and "manager" "Let buyers become the link between products and users" is more like the platform trying to summarize and summarize. In fact, this kind of vague treatment is in line with Xiaohongshu’s consistent strategic play.

The first thing that needs to be clarified is “What is the definition of a buyer?”

Buying originated in Europe in the 1960s and has now become a mature profession. The buyer's responsibilities are defined as serving a specific target customer group, predicting fashion trends, and balancing product prices. That is, taking into account the functions of purchasing, management and operations.

In terms of role function alone, "buyer" is not the same as the common "blogger with goods." Because the latter focuses on product selection and matching, compared with real brand buyers, they lack a say in all aspects of the industry chain such as design, production, technology, quality control, and logistics. Xiaohongshu COO Conan also mentioned that Xiaohongshu buyers have professional knowledge and the ability to deeply understand user needs, and can better convey product value, establish trusting relationships with users, and continue to provide services to users.

It can be seen that in Xiaohongshu's model, buyers will manage their accounts through daily notes, accumulate fans, and then select products that match their own labels and fans' tonality, and finally sell the goods through live broadcasts or pictures and texts. . Xiaohongshu hopes that by allowing content creators to achieve the integration of product and effect, content creators will become the connector between products and users, and establish a habit from planting to purchasing for Xiaohongshu users.

The advantage of this is that by focusing the purchase link and transaction link on the buyer, Xiaohongshu itself does not have to go deep into supply chain management and after-sales processes, and can meet the diversified and personalized needs of individual users for high-quality goods. In this regard, Xiaohongshu claims to empower the community with 50 billion traffic, and its approach of discovering and cultivating more bloggers who fit Xiaohongshu’s style and building product links is also part of the evidence.

To put it simply, what Xiaohongshu wants is not Li Jiaqi, but countless Dong Jie, Zhang Xiaohui and Yi Nengjing.

In January this year, Dong Jie launched her first live-streaming show on Xiaohongshu, ranking first on Xiaohongshu’s daily sales list. Relevant platforms estimate her GMV to exceed 50 million. The popularity of Dong Jie’s live streaming model allowed Xiaohongshu to find a live streaming format and opportunity that fit its own platform, and Xiaohongshu finally had a benchmark case for bringing goods.

Later, Xiaohongshu invited Zhang Xiaohui, the "first generation socialite", to start a live broadcast on Xiaohongshu. The first battle was successful, and the popularity of the 6-hour live broadcast exceeded 600 million. According to Xiaohongshu data, the number of viewers of this live broadcast called "Rose Window" exceeded 600 million. 1 million visitors, GMV exceeded 50 million yuan.

Since then, Xiaohongshu has continued to develop its live broadcast strategy for celebrities and celebrities, and invited Yi Nengjing to join Xiaohongshu. The live broadcast on September 6 attracted 1.68 million viewers. Nearly one-fifth of the approximately 120 products are focused on consumer products with high "self-pleasant" attributes such as perfumes and essential oils.

It can be seen from these celebrity anchors that the live broadcasts on Xiaohongshu sell not only products, but also experience, style and personal IP. Therefore, the focus of "buyer e-commerce" is not on the part of bringing goods, but on the process of buyers sharing their real life experiences, creating their own IP and building trust with fans. This is the biggest difference between Xiaohongshu’s buyers and “gold-selling” anchors who bring goods. It is also the “new wine” that Xiaohongshu wants to add to regular content e-commerce forms such as live broadcasts, short videos/images and texts, etc.

3. Who pays for e-commerce buyers?

The development of short video delivery and live e-commerce has turned the traditional e-commerce model of "people looking for goods" and "goods looking for people" into a "people-to-people" behavior. Behavior patterns such as being planted by bloggers' content, or actively searching for relevant note content in order to seek shopping guidance, further enhance the value of the content.

In the "buyer e-commerce" model, because the quality and price of the product directly affect the anchor's image and reputation, users can also benefit in terms of product selection and price. However, the entry barrier for merchants has become higher.

First of all, the brand must obey the management of the community, and at the same time establish its own communication channels based on the tone of the community, then acquire fans through long-term operations, and gradually integrate into the discourse system of Xiaohongshu. The advantage is that the trust and stickiness of fans will be very high. However, the active participation of brands also extremely tests Xiaohongshu’s product framework.

For example, content functions and e-commerce functions need to be integrated in a clear and easy-to-accept way. As an App, Xiaohongshu is complex in terms of rich content and product framework. It has a dual-column structure of both product flow and search flow. How much business content is appropriate to display on a two-column page? This will test Xiaohongshu’s choice between maximizing community atmosphere and commercial content.

In terms of business pace, how the platform can provide basic tools and complete mechanisms for amateur bloggers in terms of product selection and supply, traffic recommendation, content competition, etc., to help merchants obtain the conversion rate they want to attract merchants to settle in is also of great importance. test.

The only thing that is certain is that content e-commerce has two core advantages: first, it affects consumers’ purchasing behavior and consumption logic based on content with demand value, which has less negative impact on both supply and demand sides; second, the content itself has Traffic stickiness can occupy users' minds and build deep transaction trust. Xiaohongshu is already deeply aware of these advantages.

For small and medium-sized brands, this is a huge opportunity. Because Xiaohongshu pursues traffic equality, although there are many top bloggers on the platform, users can still find amateur bloggers in many cases, and in some event topics, the content of amateur bloggers will also be recommended.

Therefore, whether small and medium-sized brands are advertising or operating their own accounts, they are likely to be seen by potential target users. Through long-term operations, brands can also complete value conversion in the long-tail traffic brought by content. Of course, this also brings about the problem of how to balance native content and marketing activities, but the key to the problem lies in "people".

Under the "buyer e-commerce" model, the power of monetization is delegated to the creators themselves, allowing users to choose the creators, and the platform serves as the referee. Build trust through front-end content. Under the ideal traffic distribution logic based on traffic equality, everyone can truly share their life and be noticed. Which buyers users trust will pay for their products. Users like Whichever scene is constructed is consumed in the scene.

Based on this, Xiaohongshu's "buyer e-commerce" model can identify niche target groups with relevant consumption abilities and habits from within the platform, and connect them with unlimited products, thereby creating better private traffic and strong repeat purchases. ability.

Obviously, "buyer e-commerce" focusing on small and medium-sized individuals is completely opposite to the logic of traditional content e-commerce "large traffic for large sales". This is because Xiaohongshu is unlikely to actively cultivate absolute top KOLs, whether based on its own genes or ensuring the purity of the content ecology.

From Wei Ya, Simba to Li Jiaqi, the overturn of leading anchors may only be a matter of probability, but the platform cannot withstand the performance pressure caused by this. Therefore, cultivating small and medium-sized bloggers to become buyers is more in line with Xiaohongshu’s ideal e-commerce path.

As a result, the risk faced by the platform for top anchors to go solo is further reduced. Secondly, in a content environment without leading anchors, merchants need to rely on the help of the platform to reach scattered small and medium-sized buyers and achieve the goal of high GMV. And through refined content operations, creating phenomenon-level topics to drive actual sales conversions is exactly the ability that Xiaohongshu has acquired when focusing on content ecology in recent years.

Whether it is search e-commerce or live broadcast e-commerce, the essence of the industry of exchanging traffic for sales has not changed, but in the past, as the head anchor of high-traffic portals, it has more efficiency advantages. And when the entire Internet is increasingly facing competition for inventory, the long-tail value of content is gradually being noticed.

It can be predicted that whoever can discover the value of every user in the future will be the winner in the era of stock Internet. In this dimension, the test faced by Xiaohongshu has just begun.

Scientists One Step Closer to Re-Writing World’s First Synthetic Yeast Genome, Unravelling Fundamental Building Blocks of Life - Technology Org

Researchers in the Manchester Institute of Biotechnology (MIB) at The University of Manchester have created the tRNA Neochromosome – a chromosome that is new to nature.

It forms part of a wider project (Sc2.0) that has now successfully synthesised all 16 native chromosomes in Saccharomyces cerevisiae, common baker’s yeast, and aims to combine them to form a fully synthetic cell.

The international team has already combined six and a half synthetic chromosomes in a functional cell. It is the first time scientists have written a eukaryotic genome from scratch.

Yeasts are a common workhorse of industrial biotechnological processes as they allow valuable chemicals to be produced more efficiently, economically, and sustainably. They are often used in the production of biofuels, pharmaceuticals, flavours and fragrances, as well as in the more well-known fermentation processes of bread-making and beer-brewing.

Being able to re-write a yeast genome from scratch could create a strain that is stronger, works faster, is more tolerant to harsh conditions and has a higher yield.

The process also sheds light on the traditionally problematic genome fundamentals, such as how genomes are organised and evolved.

The findings of both projects, published as two research articles of the prestigious journals Cell and Cell Genomics respectively, are a culmination of 10 years of research from an international consortium of scientists led by Professor Patrick Cai and The University of Manchester, and mark a new chapter in engineering biology.

The University of Manchester’s research also features on the front covers of both journals.

Prof Cai, Chair in Synthetic Genomics at The University of Manchester who is the international coordinator of Sc2.0 project, said: “This is an exciting milestone when it comes to engineering biology. While we have been able to edit genes for some time, we have never before been able to write a eukaryote genome from scratch. This work is fundamental to our understanding of the building blocks of life and has the potential to revolutionise synthetic biology which is fitting as Manchester is the home of the Industrial Revolution. Now, we’re at the forefront of the biotechnological revolution too.”

“What’s remarkable about this project is the sheer scale of collaboration and the interdisciplinarity involved in bringing it to fruition. We’ve brought together not only our experts here in the MIB, but also experts from across the world in fields ranging from biology and genomics to computer science and bioengineering.

Dr Daniel Schindler, one of the two lead authors and group leader at the Max Planck Institute for Terrestrial Microbiology and the Center for Synthetic Microbiology (SYNMIKRO) in Marburg, added: “The international Sc2.0 is a fascinating, highly interdisciplinary project. It combines basic research to expand our understanding of genome fundamentals, but also paves the way for future applications in biotechnology and drives technology developments.

“The international and inclusive nature of the project has unleashed the science and seeded future collaborations and friendships. The Manchester Institute of Biotechnology, with its excellent research environment and open space, has always facilitated this.”

The tRNA neochromosome is used to house and organise all 275 nuclear tRNA genes from the yeast and will eventually be added to the fully synthetic yeast where the tRNA genes have been removed from the other synthesised chromosomes. 

Unlike the other synthetic chromosomes of the Sc2.0 project, the tRNA neochromosome has no native counterpart in the yeast genome.

It was designed using AI assisted, computer-assisted design (CAD), manufactured with state-of-the-art roboticized foundries, and completed by comprehensive genome-wide metrology to ensure the high fitness of the synthetic cells.

Next, the researchers will work together to bring all synthetic chromosomes into a fully synthetic genome. The final Sc2.0 strain will not only be the world’s first synthetic eukaryote, but also the first one to be built by the international community.

“The potential benefits of this research are universal – the limiting factor isn’t the technology, it’s our imagination”, says Prof Cai.
