Perfume Portrait: Björk & Berris White Forest
It's a perfume that has carried me through the gray days by playing on the cords of my soul with sunny memories. It's the first perfume I knowingly decided to collect the memories of my favourite places into - so that they would be with me like a talisman on these cold and wet days. It's the perfume 'White Forest' by Björk & Berries.
A scent is the best time machine - when we open a perfume from some years ago, we're instantly back in the day when the scent meant so much and the memories gush out of the bottle like a grandiose Genie. And it so happens with memories that sometimes they carry a golden frame around them, and sometimes they're on the bitter side. We cannot always choose events that we associate with a certain perfume. But is that really the case?
A few months ago I found a new signature perfume for myself. It's 'White Forest' by Björk & Berris. I decided to conduct an experiment - I didn't start wearing it immediately, but I purposely chose memories of places where I was happy. So I took the perfume with me to my favourite city - London - and wore it when I was walking in my favourite streets. I'm often asked what is it that captivates me so much about London that I keep returning to it. The honest answer is that I love to walk on those familiar streets where houses are decorated on every season and an occasional tree or bush is in bloom also in the winter. I just walk, take photos, walk, col.

Below is an extract from a web page. Evaluate whether the page has a high educational
value and could be useful in an educational setting for teaching from primary school to
grade school levels using the additive 5-point scoring system described below. Points are
accumulated based on the satisfaction of each criterion:
- Add 1 point if the extract provides some basic information relevant to educational top-
ics, even if it includes some irrelevant or non-academic content like advertisements and
promotional material.
- Add another point if the extract addresses certain elements pertinent to education but
does not align closely with educational standards. It might mix educational content with
non-educational material, offering a superficial overview of potentially useful topics, or
presenting information in a disorganized manner and incoherent writing style.
- Award a third point if the extract is appropriate for educational use and introduces key
concepts relevant to school curricula. It is coherent though it may not be comprehensive
or could include some extraneous information. It may resemble an introductory section of
a textbook or a basic tutorial that is suitable for learning but has notable limitations like
treating concepts that are too complex for grade school students.
- Grant a fourth point if the extract highly relevant and beneficial for educational purposes
for a level not higher than grade school, exhibiting a clear and consistent writing style. It
could be similar to a chapter from a textbook or a tutorial, offering substantial educational
content, including exercises and solutions, with minimal irrelevant information, and the
concepts aren’t too advanced for grade school students. The content is coherent, focused,
and valuable for structured learning.
- Bestow a fifth point if the extract is outstanding in its educational value, perfectly suited for
teaching either at primary school or grade school. It follows detailed reasoning, the writing
style is easy to follow and offers profound and thorough insights into the subject matter,
devoid of any non-educational or complex content.
