However, because it was difficult to pass the smell test in the perfumery class, the class was not opened until February 1981 when 32 people were recruited.

Three years later, Guo Bin graduated from the perfumery class and returned to Fuzhou Perfumery as a perfumer.

Until 1993, after the Fuzhou Perfumery Factory was restructured and the natural perfume industry chain was moved out, Guo Bin began to try to extract natural jasmine perfume by hand.
