The Perfumist asks the candidates if they submitted the correct answer to the question, and if they did, they are forfeiting the chance to win the job. He tells the candidates that if they do not submit the right answer, he will consider their answer to his feelings, and he will sentence them to severe punishment. He also tells them to think about how they are going to answer the question. He says that if the answer is the same as his, he is going to consider it to his own feelings. He adds that he also thought about putting musk or ambergris in the sachet, but did not think that the answer was the right one. He then says that the question is wrong, and that the Queen insulted the court and the royal family by giving the wrong answer. He asks if the candidates have finished talking, and they say that they have not yet. He explains that he does not believe that there is an easy way for someone to fall in love with someone, that there must be a way to gain their heart, that they must willingly go into someone else's world, and then allow them into theirs. He believes that listening to the other and taking interest in the interests of the other is the only way for lovers to share their feelings.
