...The Friedel text is a work created in 1740 by German Pastor, Johann Paul Friedel. He resides in the village Oberweißbach, which is part of the larger municipality of Königsee, located near the rugged Thuringian Forest. The work combines a strange collection of issues, including how to rear and educate Christian children, basic information for the common man, and a history of the perfume trade in the local community. The beginning of the book is intended to assist in the rearing, education and disciplining of children. It illustrates the necessity of raising children in the Christian faith, and references the importance of learning such items as the Deuteronomy and the Lutheran Catechisms. Both of which give us reference into the historical period of the piece. Friedel also greatly advocates that the “fear of God” should be instilled into people’s lives, and furthermore that the “fear of Lord is the genesis of wisdom”. He states that both parents and children must use this fear to rule their decision making and lifestyle choices, and if so will be rewarded with an honourable, joyful life. The book is created to give both parents and teachers a reference guide of subjects that children should learn in order to develop into a knowledgeable honest adult, including reading and writing skills, and basic arithmetic. The piece uses common sense logic and aims to teach the basic skills such as proper greetings, common letter writing techniques and basic mathematic requirements...

...1. Assume that you are a consultant for a marketer who wants to design a package for a new designer perfume targeted to an affluent market. What recommendations would you provide in terms of such package elements as color, symbolism, and graphic design? Give the reasons for your suggestions. ANSWER: Dilbert comic strip once said: “Quality is yesterday’s news. Today we focus on the emotional impact of the product”. Packaging of the product acts as a vehicle for consumer communication and branding. Previously, people perceived packaging just as “the cover” or commonly used for the protection of the product, just to protect it from the damage. Its function has now not only limited as “cover” but now evolved as the marketing tools(Silayoi & Speece , 2007 ) The importance of packaging design and the use of packaging as a vehicle for communication and branding is growing (Rettie and Brewer, 2000). Packaging takes an important role in marketing communication element because consumers don’t think too deeply about brands at all before they go to purchase. According to one of the study conducted, it was estimated that 73 percent of purchase decisions are made at the point of sale (Connolly and Davidson, 1996). Packaging in the perfume business can be used as a sensory marketing. The marketers should pay extra attention to the impact of the sensation the packaging should be able to create a competitive advantage.

Once Edith returns from her day shift, the first thing she gets her hands on is her “cologne-scented underwear” (82). Before long the protagonist cleans herself connoting the smell she brought home negatively, “The first thin cloud of steam reeked of the frying oils that clung to her body” (82). This action, in addition to wearing perfume, reveals the importance Edith places on smelling nice. Yet a few hours later as the story progresses, she can’t help but smell once again the grease from the factory, “She sighed and scrubbed the stink of grease from her arms” (86). Even...

...Perception of Individual Odor and Perfume Blends Reveals a Mechanism for Idiosyncratic Effects on Fragrance Choice ´ ´ ´ Pavlına Lenochova1, Pavla Vohnoutova1, S. Craig Roberts2, Elisabeth Oberzaucher3, Karl Grammer3, 1 ´ˇ Jan Havlıcek * 1 Department of Anthropology, Charles University, Prague, Czech Republic, 2 School of Natural Sciences, University of Stirling, Stirling, Scotland, United Kingdom, 3 Department of Anthropology, University Vienna, Vienna, Austria Abstract Cross-culturally, fragrances are used to modulate body odor, but the psychology of fragrance choice has been largely overlooked. The prevalent view is that fragrances mask an individual’s body odor and improve its pleasantness. In two experiments, we found positive effects of perfume on body odor perception. Importantly, however, this was modulated by significant interactions with individual odor donors. Fragrances thus appear to interact with body odor, creating an individually-specific odor mixture. In a third experiment, the odor mixture of an individual’s body odor and their preferred perfume was perceived as more pleasant than a blend of the same body odor with a randomly-allocated perfume, even when there was no difference in pleasantness between the perfumes. This indicates that fragrance use extends beyond simple masking effects and that people choose perfumes that interact well with their own odor. Our results provide an explanation for the highly individual nature of perfume choice. ´ ´ Citation: Lenochova...

I In this paper, I will explain how I would handle the situation if I were Charles Renfold, describe the policy on smoking that I would recommend, explain how this case would change if the situation was not about old smoke but the smell of Alice’s perfume or Frank’s body odor and explain whether it is fair or reasonable to ban employees from smoking in their cars in company parking lot. Explain how you would handle this situation if you were Charles Renfold. Mr. Renford had already explained that the law in their state requires a smoke free work area and that his area was smoke free.

...| World Literature Assignment 1 | The Relationship Between the Corporeal Body and the Spirit In the Context of the Novels “Perfume: The Story Of A Murderer” and “Hunger” | | | | | Subject: English A1 Higher Level Session: May 2010 Word Count: 1500 The constitution of the human being is often classified into two parts: the body and the mind or soul. Whereas these two aspects of the being, supernatural and physical, are often considered two inseparable parts of a whole, they are regarded, rather, as distinct features in both the novels, Perfume and Hunger, that work together in order to form the complete individual. However, though the particular relationships between the individual’s corporeal body and the metaphysical mind or soul in these two novels are portrayed similarly in a number of aspects, they are not without their unique attributes. A distinct correlation between the portrayal of the body and the state of the individual’s internal being is seen to be present in the context of both texts. Grenouille, in the novel Perfume, is described, even from infancy, as having “…eyes…of an uncertain color, covered with a kind of slimy film…” (Suskind 16) and a nose “…like the cups of…[a]…small meat-eating plant…” (Suskind 17) It can be seen here that his abnormal and parasitic tendencies have been reflected in his physical appearance, as it is throughout the book. Because...
