MAKING scents akin to signature perfumes, Aficionado has paved the way for the general populace to enjoy luxurious fragrances at a not-too-luxurious price. With just a few bucks, people can now sport scents similar to those of Ralph Lauren and Polo Sport. A big hit with wise-spending pinoys, Aficionado is actually the “scent-illating” achievement of a brilliant Thomasian entrepreneur, Joel Cruz.

Although he graduated from the College of Science in 1986 with a degree in Psychology, Cruz had always wanted to be a businessman despite his mother’s prodding for him to pursue medicine.

“When I reached my fourth year, I realized my calling was in business,” Cruz said.

COMMERCE junior “Ranny” heard a strange sound behind him as he was striding alone on the Espa?a walkway past 10 in the evening.

Ranny looked back but there was no one around. Frightened, he dashed to the gate near the Engineering Bldg., reciting the Hail Mary.

“It wasn’t a prank joke,” Ranny told the Varsitarian. “The horror felt like someone was standing behind me, but I just couldn’t see it.”
