Thanks for the question! So for this question, we have to find an opinion that the author would hold about Joy Parfum by Henri Almeras. Well, what’s the main thing going on in this passage? Perfumes can be great works of art. And what is Joy Parfum? It’s a “1930 masterpiece” perfume. So it seems likely that she would’ve thought that it was a work of art. And, taking a look at lines 37-43 at the end of the second paragraph, the author seems to think that perfumers and artists are pretty similar. Putting these facts together, it’s fair to say the author wouldn’t say that perfume is less important than a sculpture.
Hope this helps! Feel free to ask any other questions that you might have.
