Hello everyone, today is still a beauty sauce that broke the heart for the beauty career of the little cuties~
I am a “perfume enthusiast” every day, and I started buying perfume samples in high school, and I must go to Sephora and major perfume counters every time I go shopping.
The scent is a personal thing, you think this smells good, but your friends want to vomit when they smell it, which is a normal thing.
But the fragrance can bring it
Very popular impression
, the soap smell feels inexplicably clean, the tail smell is like walking on the street, and the orange smell immediately makes people feel that it is summer.
So I’m going to tell you how to buy the right perfume for you, but this really has too much to talk about
In three parts
I’ll talk slowly to everyone.
Let’s say it first, everyone feels differently about perfume,
Theory memorizing 100 pages is not as fast as smelling 10 bottles
, so you can take these three as menu recommendations on the app, and the specific taste will not be known until you eat it (๑•̀ᄇ•́)و✧
Well, don’t be verbose, today’s first article will give you the basic knowledge of perfume~
Q1.What are the top notes, middle notes, and back notes?
TOP notes: Most of the first flavor that is opened, the fastest volatilization, generally about 5-20 minutes.
MIDDLE HEART: THE HEART NOTE AFTER THE TOP NOTE DISAPPEARS, WHICH IS GENERALLY THE TRANSITION BETWEEN THE TOP NOTE AND THE BACK NOTE, AND GENERALLY DOES NOT TASTE TOO DIFFERENT FROM THE TOP NOTE.
BASE Base notes: It is the basis for perfume creation that lasts the longest and is generally more intense and lasts longer.
In fact, the front and back notes of each bottle of perfume are not very clear, generally one
Mutual intermingling slowly changing processes.
If a bottle of perfume says that it is “not divided into front and back tones”, otherwise it is a pitiful citrus tone, which is volatile from beginning to end; Or it is very monotonous, generally composed of only 1-3 spices.
Q2.How can some perfumes still smell at night after spraying, and some will be astigmatized within 2 hours?
Perfumes are divided into four categories: “Eau de Cologne”, “Eau de toilette eau decent”, “Eau de Parfum perfume” and “Parfum fragrance”.
I remember a student majoring in French told me that French is really difficult to learn, even perfume has 4 expressions, let’s see what these four represent.
P· Parfum perfume
: Concentration 15-25%, duration 5-7 hours It is recommended to spray 1 time
EDP· Eau de parfum eau decentum
: Concentration 8-15%, duration: 5 hours It is recommended to spray 1 time
EDT· Eau de toilette eau de toilette
: Concentration 4-10%, duration: 3-4 hours It is recommended to spray 1-2 times
EDC· Eau de cologne
: Concentration 2-5%, duration: 1-2 hours It is recommended to spray 1-3 times
Generally on the red frame position on the perfume bottle ~
However, it also occurs because EDP contains less alcohol than EDT, evaporates more slowly, and has a softer taste
EDT smells thicker than EDP
phenomenon.
Q3.「 What do woody notes” and “floral notes” mean?
The various “notes” of perfume are to better distinguish the types of perfume, which must first be divided into four series.
Freshness: Citrus tone: often used as top notes, green leaf tones, aquatic notes
Aromatics: floral notes, fruity notes
Rich series: woody tones, oriental withering, gourmet tones
Classical: Sipe, leather, and fluffy
Most perfumes are a mixture of several notes
For example, it is very common for the top note to be floral and become woody at the back.
Q4.Why can I smell watermelon when there is a bunch of grass leaves written in the spice table?
The ingredient list of perfume is only to let consumers know
What kind of perfume is this
, which means “can smell”, does not necessarily have such a thing in the ingredient list.
Just as the “fresh” taste of plant roots is mostly the credit of syringal,
Most of the flavors are concocted
, You can’t expect to eat a wife in the wife’s cake.
And everyone’s experience of the fragrance is different, too entangled in the ingredient list will only torture themselves, rib soup is delicious enough, to check a few peppercorns is a distrust of the soup.
As long as it smells good and you like it, the perfume ingredient list is “for reference only”,
Half the letter is good
Q5.Is niche salon incense necessarily better than commercial incense?
“Commercial fragrance” is those brands we are familiar with, such as Chanel Hermès, the taste is basically not wrong, everyone loves.
“Niche Salon Fragrance” is a number of brands that specialize in perfumes, with a certain history and more unusual ideas, such as Zumalon of Ludan’s, which is often full of surprises.
But there is really no need to step on one, commercial incense is like ordinary figure toys, catering to the tastes of mass consumers, honestly posing for you to choose.
Niche incense is like a blind box toy, each with its own attitude, in
The taste aspect will also be more challenging
, buy what you don’t like, but also hypnotize yourself I love him.
Q6.「 What is the smell of falling snow, what should I do if I can’t understand the incense commentary?
Rousseau said, “The sense of smell is the smell of memory and desire”, so in fact, perfume is more often present
Describe the mood
, It is difficult to show everyone the intuitive analysis like clothes and cosmetics.
Because Xiang Zhuan is also every Xiang Critic
Self-feeling
Perhaps this critic smelled chocolate when it snowed, which is also a matter of no way.
But here, crunchy according to 4 incense series to tell you about it, the next time I read the incense review, at least 60% can be correct, (of course, most of them are only my personal feelings).

It is usually described as “rich and unforgettable”, “lingering”, “dry”, and “religious”.
I looked at those incense reviews and looked really in the clouds, and I didn’t know if the other party was writing incense reviews or prose poems.
Finally, I want to say that buying perfume is the first thing to do
Leave stereotypes behind
, not bound by price or public vision, classic has classic good, niche has niche beauty.
