Common Questions and Sample Answers  
1. What is your favourite smell? 
I can't get enough of the smell of coffee; especially strong Vietnamese coffee! Actually, I'm probably addicted to coffee and maybe that's why I love the smell. I've been drinking it everyday since I was in university. At the time, because I had a lot of work to do, I drank it to keep me alert and focused. Nowadays, it's become a habit I brew a pot every morning even at the weekends. Because of this,I suppose I associate the smell with productivity and a new day! 
2. Do you wear perfume?
Yes, but not very often. I mean I tend to splash on some cologne before going to a fancy event, which is rare. That's not to say that I don't like to wear a fragrance, I actually do. However, I've always found that the scent wears off quickly so I feel like it's a waste of money. I mean, designer fragrances can cost an arm and a leg!

3. If you could make your own perfume, what smells would you like to include?
If you could make your own perfume, what smells would you like to include?
That's an interesting question....

I'd definitely include coffee for the reasons I mentioned before. Other than that, I'd probably choose some natural scents like that of an evergreen tree or wood fire. I find deep smoky fragrances to be particularly charming.
