Hello everyone, today is still a beauty sauce that has broken my heart for the beauty cause of the little cuties~
I was a "perfume enthusiast" every day, and I began to buy perfume samples in high school, and every time I went shopping, I had to go to Sephora and the major perfume counters to see it.
The scent is a private thing, you think it smells good, but your friend wants to vomit when he smells it, which is a very normal thing.
But the fragrance can bring a very popular impression, the soap smell inexplicably feels clean, the tail smell is like walking on the street, and the orange smell immediately makes people feel like summer.
So I will tell you how to buy the right perfume for you, but this really has to talk too much, to tell you slowly in three parts.
In the front of the first said well, everyone's feelings about perfume are different, the theory back 100 pages is not as fast as to smell 10 bottles, so you can take these three as a menu recommendation on the app, the specific taste to eat to know (๑ • ̀ᄇ • ́) و ✧
Well, don't be wordy, today's first article will give you the basic knowledge of perfume
<h3 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" >Q1. What is top, heart, and back note? </h3>
TOP top note: Most of the first flavor is opened, and the volatilization is the fastest, generally about 5-20 minutes.
MIDDLE heart: The middle note after the disappearance of the top note is generally the transition between the top note and the back note, and generally does not differ too much from the top note.
BASE aftertaste: The longest fragrance retention, is the basis of perfume creation, and generally tastes more intensely and lasts longer.
In fact, the front, middle and rear adjustment of each bottle of perfume are not very clear, and it is generally a process of slowly changing with each other.
If a bottle of perfume says that it is "indistinguishable", or it is a small and pitiful citrus tone, which is volatile from beginning to end; or it is very monotonous, generally consisting of only 1-3 spices.
<h3 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" >Q2. How can some perfumes be smelled at night, and some are astigmatized in 2 hours? </h3>
Perfumes are divided into four categories: "eau de cologne cologne", "eau de toilette eau de toilette perfume", "eau de parfum perfume" and "parfum perfume".
I remember a French major told me that French is really difficult to learn, even perfume has 4 expressions, come and see what these four represent.
P· Parfum Perfume: Concentration 15-25%, duration 5-7 hours 1 spray is recommended
EDP· Eau de parfum eau de Parfum: concentration 8-15%, duration: 5 hours 1 spray is recommended
EDT· Eau de toilette eau de Toilette: concentration 4-10%, duration: 3-4 hours Spray 1-2 times is recommended
EDC· Eau de cologne cologne: concentration 2-5%, duration: 1-2 hours Spray 1-3 times is recommended
Generally in the perfume bottle on the red box position ~
However, because EDP contains less alcohol than EDT, volatilizes more slowly, and tastes softer, there will also be a phenomenon that EDT smells stronger than EDP.
<h3 class="pgc-h-arrow-right">Q3.「 What do woody tones" mean and "floral notes"? </h3>
The various "notes" of perfume are first divided into four series in order to better distinguish the types of perfumes.
Fresh: citrus tone: commonly used as a top note, green leaf tone, aquatic tone
Fragrance: floral notes, fruit notes
Rich: woody, oriental, gourmet
Classical: Sipp notes, leather notes, full of notes
Most perfumes are a mixture of several notes, such as the top note is a floral note, and it is very common to turn into a woody note in the back.
<h3 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" >Q4.Why do I smell watermelon when a bunch of grass leaves are written in the spice list? </h3>
The ingredient list of the perfume is only to let the consumer know what kind of perfume it tastes like, indicating "the taste that can be smelled", and it is not necessary that there must be such a thing in the ingredient list.
Just as the "fresh" taste of a plant's rhizome is mostly due to the credit of syringaldehyde, most of the flavors are concocted, and you can't expect to eat a wife in a wife cake.
And everyone's experience of the aroma is different, too much entanglement in the ingredient list will only torture themselves, rib soup is delicious enough, to check how many peppercorns are distrustful of the soup.
As long as it smells good and you like it, the perfume ingredient list is "for reference only", and the letter is half good.
<h3 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" >Q5.Must niche salon incense be better than commercial incense? </h3>
"Commercial incense" is the brand we are familiar with, such as Chanel Hermès, the taste is basically not wrong, everyone loves.
"Niche Salon Incense" is a number of brands that specialize in perfumes, with a certain history and more out-of-the-ordinary ideas, such as Rudan's Zumalong, and the taste is often full of surprises.
But there is really no need to step on a bunch, commercial incense is like an ordinary handmade toy, catering to the taste of mass consumers, honestly put to let you pick.
Niche incense is like a blind box toy, each has its own attitude, it will be more challenging in terms of taste, and when you buy something you don't like, you have to hypnotize yourself I love him.
<h3 class="pgc-h-arrow-right">Q6.「 The smell of snow falling" is what, what if you can't understand the incense reviews? </h3>
Rousseau said: "Smell is the taste of memory and desire", so in fact, perfume is more often describing the mood, it is difficult to intuitively analyze it like clothes and cosmetics.
Because the incense review is also the self-feeling of every incense critic, perhaps this incense critic smells chocolate when it snows, which is also a helpless thing.
But here, crisp according to 4 incense series to tell you about it, the next time you read the incense reviews, at least 60% correct (of course, most of them are only my personal feelings).
<h3 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" > fresh system</h3>
Citrus tone: Based on citrus fruits such as orange, lemon, grapefruit, bergamot, etc., it is more volatile.
It is generally described in the incense review as "fresh big orange flavor", "juicy", "the feeling of summer sunshine", and "on the way to travel".
Green leaf notes: Plant aromas, green apples, vegetables and seaweed freshness are all green leaf notes, often paired with floral or citrus.
Lavender is also a hint of green leaves in floral notes.
In general, incense reviews are described as "walking in the woods", "the taste of the morning", and "after the rain".
Aquatic: Contains aquatic plants or fresh fruits and flowers, smells the youngest and non-aggressive, and most neutral perfumes are of this kind.
However, it is usually simulated "the smell of the ocean and the humid air", so most of them are chemically processed.
Generally, incense reviews will be described as "first love white shirt", "beach walk", "fresh little white flowers", "simple", "wet".
<h3 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" > fragrance system</h3>
Floral notes: The main composition is floral, which is very common in women's perfumes, and because the different tastes of flowers are also rich in changes, the difference in origin will also affect the taste of flowers.
Damascus roses and Turkish roses, for example, smell different.
In general, incense reviews will be described as "feminine", "gentle", "sister of the neighbor".
Fruity notes: Consist of fruit flavors other than citrus, but because most of the fruit's flavors are not easy to extract, they are generally paired with floral or gourmet notes.
Generally, incense reviews will be described as "warm", "playful", "tropical island early morning", "summer".
<h3 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" > rich system</h3>

Generally, incense reviews will be described as "melancholy and bitter", "neutral", "old movies/black and white movies", "cold tenderness", "grandpa's tea", "coat in the closet".
Oriental tone: the most exotic, using oriental leaves, resin, musk, amber, this oriental impression of raw materials as the main composition, to create a Middle East Indian Asian feeling.
It is generally described in incense reviews as "colorful", "dancing Spanish girl", "Carmen", "fireworks", "decadent fragrance".
Gastronomic tone: This kind of aroma appeared for the first time in 1992, mainly milky or spicy, saffron, chocolate, cinnamon and other gourmet tones are more common, generally rich and sweet, the taste is more exciting.
It is generally described in the incense review as "belonging to winter", "hot chocolate", "crackling by the fireplace", "thick blanket", "sweet and seductive".
<h3 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" > classical system</h3>
Sip notes: also known as sweet moss notes, which mean cyprus in French, is the birthplace of the legendary American god Venus, and is also the place where the spice of oak moss originated.
Generally composed of oak moss, sandalwood, amber, vetiver, bergamot and patchouli, mixed with floral or fruity aromas, rich in layers, more suitable for mature women, reducing sweetness, more prominent mature and stable feminine charm.
Generally, incense reviews will be described as "literary youth", "glasses and white shirts", "complex love", "warmth".
Leather tone: dominated by leather flavor, often with tobacco, wood fragrance, rosemary, etc. together, male perfume is more common in sexual perfumes.
Autumn and winter perfumes are common and sometimes serve as a base for gourmet perfumes.
Generally, incense reviews will be described as "steady and confident", "choking", "uncle", "rich", "old", "desire".
Fucci Notes: This is an accent that includes many flavors at the same time, with the appropriate spices added to it, so it is also called "the combination of all notes".
Generally rich and thick, often used for male incense, female fragrance if added to the fuqi notes will become very complex.
Generally, incense reviews will be described as "rich and unforgettable", "lingering", "dry", "religious".
I look at those incense reviews in the clouds, and I don't know whether the other party is writing incense reviews or prose poems.
Finally, I would like to say that when buying perfume, we must first abandon stereotypes, not be bound by price or public vision, classics have classic good, niche has niche beauty.
