Taste or gustation is one of the five traditional senses including hearing, sight, touch and
smell. Humans can distinguish five basic tastes. Each and every one of them is a message that tells
us something about what we put into our mouth, so we can decide whether it should be eaten. A
sweet taste can signal the presence of natural sugars and other carbohydrates found in many fruits
and honey. They play an important role in giving and storing energy. Salty foods usually signal the
presence of sodium. This element is necessary for maintaining our bodies’ water balance and
circulating the flow of blood and nutrients. Bitter tastes can signal the presence of 35 different
proteins found in plants. However, some of them are unpleasant to taste and can be toxic. A sour
taste can signal the presence of acidic solutions like lemon juice and organic acids. Acids may
indicate that food is no longer healthy and suitable to eat. Umami or savoury comes from protein
building blocks (amino acids) found naturally in protein-rich foods like meats and cheese.

It is not easy to work in the fragrance industry. Perfumers need an extraordinary sense of
smell and a solid knowledge of chemistry, in addition to completing specialist studies in perfumery.
Normally, it takes ten years of studies and training to be recruited a professional perfumer.
Some consider perfumers as experts in chemistry and gas chromatography. In fact, they must
be able to analyze chemical substances that form the additives in the fragrance and make detailed
analysis of aromatic chemicals, as well as perform physical tests. At higher levels, they also take
quality control measures and get involved in the preparation of a fragrance to make sure that the
manufacturing process conforms to safety standards.
As any other jobs, a perfumer may encounter challenges at work. It may be the problem of low
engagement. Consumers do not engage in the perfume industry as much as they used to, because
many brands focus on producing commonplace fragrances in large quantities. This results in the
same products from different brands, or market saturation. As a result, perfumers are required to
work harder to create their brands’ signature fragrances.
Becoming a perfumer is a career choice. It thrusts you into an incredible world of unexpected,
original and timeless scents. It also gives you a chance to let your creativity and imagination run
wild as you develop fragrances that may become global success.

Câu 17. Professional perfumers need natural talents and certain knowledge.
A. True B. False
Câu 18. Becoming a perfumer is not a long process.
A. True B. False
Câu 19. Many brands are now mass-producing their unique perfumes.
