闻些狐臭的味道听起来不那么爽,不过,佩塔•琼斯成天就干这种活。
She works as a deodorant producer for Unilever in Australia, developing the Dove, Lynx and Impulse brands.
A big part of her job is sniffing strangers’ armpits to check her products’ work.
琼斯是澳大利亚联合利华集团的除臭剂生产者,多芬(Dove)凌仕(Lynx)和Impulse等就是联合利华旗下品牌。她工作的主要内容就是嗅陌生人的腋窝,以检验产品功效。
