A list of coveted Christmas gifts
Approaching December, the whole world seems to be preparing for Christmas, for a "more Christmas-like Christmas".
What are the essential elements of authentic British Christmas?
A Christmas tree full of bells and stars, a brown-green Christmas tree; a bitter orange smell slowly pouring out of mulled red wine, a sweetness with memories; a fruit pie after dinner, and outside the window, the snow is intertwined with the floral fragrance of late winter...
Christmas is like the moment closest to magic in real life, it is a dream and a longing, it is "happiness and peace, it will be realized".
Like the question that used to be asked a lot, "What's the best Christmas gift?" ”
I would feel that the Christmas gift of my dreams must be something that will be remembered years later, and the only thing that can do this is the smell. Have you ever thought that the smells that belong to Christmas can actually be collected in different categories?
Today, together with Zu Marlon, I use the 24 hours of Christmas to tell you what every minute of Christmas tastes like.
Yes, you who don't know what gifts to prepare for Christmas (to give or comfort yourself), this article can not be missed.
After all, perfume is such a private thing, it is very able to poke the heart and show taste at the same time, the packaging is still so beautiful, who will not be moved?
⏳
morning
9：00 -12：00
I suggest you take a shower on Christmas morning. Don't ask why, it's a secret entrance to the perfect Christmas, like nine and three-quarters.
And Zu Marlon's candy-shaped gift box can be called the golden key that opens the door to a new world.
It doesn't matter how cute it is to be packaged in the shape of candy, the satisfaction in getting it in the hand is also super strong, the huge candy is like a reward for childhood, and everyone becomes the happiness of a child in seconds.
Turn on the shower and squeeze out a little Bit of English Oak & Red Currant Shower Gel, and the dream moment starts right now.
Just on the field is a wave of fresh and juicy red currant fruit smell, just the sweetness, is the kind of bite down the juice splash, eat a pleasant mood. The aroma is fresh and doesn't go in a sweet and lovely direction.
Bathing in the process is like coming to the Sherwood Forest in the United Kingdom, encountering fantasy elves in the oak forest, playing and swimming.
However, the red gooseberry lasts for a very short time, and it will immediately transition to the woody core of the oak, and the fruit aroma of the red gooseberry will only leave a faint shadow, as if the oak has been soaked in juice.
At this time, be sure to add scent sensation with lime basil and citrus moisturizer. The top note is a lime, with an aggressive flavor and very sobering. Like a young and energetic girl bursting out of beauty. The feeling of freshness moisturizes every inch of the skin.
I myself like to come back with a little red rose perfume smell, spray into the air, walk in, the rose fragrance of the hood, as if you are lying in a large piece of lemongrass breeze from the rose red breath, sour with a little astringency, the back tune if there is nothing makes me very confused, fierce greed to suck a few more sips, the smell after the synthesis of a kind of girlish elegance and high-grade.
The combination of these three models is particularly soft and warm, which is very suitable for the opening of the Christmas morning.
Imagine the person you liked as a student turning their backs to the sunset and turning their heads to call your name, that feeling of vitality and gentleness, which is the taste of these three bonuses! It is as unique to you as you are to anyone and worthy of being cherished.
afternoon
14：00-15：00
After lunch afternoon and a little drowsy, maybe all you need is a cup of afternoon tea, as well as a gift that will brighten your eyes.
Ok, at this time, I recommend you to open Zu Marlon's Christmas gift box.
The bitter orange fragrance in the gift box is a limited edition of Zu Marlon Christmas.
At first, it was a sweet orange mixed with the smell of oranges, and when it turned from thick to light, it was like the irresistible slight drunkenness of mulled red wine, and it was a refreshing sweetness with a slight bitterness, which made people very fascinated. The last thing that stays in the nose is a faint amber sandalwood scent, very, very light.
At this time, you are suitable for picking up a book, I recommend reading Truman Capoti's "Christmas Reminiscences", a collection of short stories about childhood memories, gentle and sad, small stories, where to read a page, in the bitter orange fragrance of the faint smell, reading will also have a kind of intoxicating fun.
After an hour, I'll probably figure out if everything is ready for Christmas Eve dinner, and then go out for a little walk, at which point I'll choose to spray English pears and freesias out.
Why English pears and freesias?
As one of the most popular scents of Zu Marlon, it is sweet, but at the same time sensual and refreshing, and is a cute girl who attends a dance for the first time, green but seductive.
It's not a perfume that smells particularly warm and intimate, but rather warm with a hint of distance that will make you feel even more elegant — you need to tell yourself you're ready before Christmas Eve.
evening
20：00 - 22：00
The best time of Christmas Eve, after dinner, because when you are full and comfortable on the couch, friends and family are chatting together, and you need some flavor to enhance the "Christmas atmosphere".
If only one candle is allowed on Christmas Eve, I will choose a white moss and snowflake lotus scented candle, speaking of this candle, it is the most suitable fragrance for the 2018 Christmas season, and it is also Zu Marlon's Christmas special this year.
The scent is very solid, the smell of white moss is very plant-based, with a hint of sober cold, while the smell of snowflake lotus is gradually melodious and very calm. You know, in the Bible, Eve was expelled from the Garden of Eden, the sky was cold, and the snow covered the earth, at this time, it was the angel who turned the snowflake into a snowflake lotus to resist the cold, and the flower language of the snowflake lotus was "hope".
Sitting under the Christmas tree to open gifts, the scent of white moss and snowdrops, with the bursts of candle flames, lingered around, at this time gently added a bouquet of sage and sea salt scent, to be honest, this is a real dreamy mix.
It belongs to the neutral plant fragrance that is not aggressive, not sweet, relatively clean and warm, like the faint aroma emitted by the crush of the afternoon library encounter. The smell of sea salt mixed with the winter atmosphere of white moss, is the winter seashore, the sky is very blue, the air is cold, the tide has a ride, you have a heart, there is a yearning, that picture is intellectual, clean, quiet, fresh, but also the warm taste of love.
Although I have never seen the sea in winter, the exclusive smell of Christmas after the two are mixed, like a kind of fantasy enjoyment experience, the sense of dependence and attachment symbolized by sage, is also particularly prominent.
On Christmas nights, before going to bed, I will choose a powerful scent to accompany me to sleep.
The perfume of black pomegranate is a good choice. The black in the name is well summarized, the aura is powerful incense, and the introverted sexiness. Reminiscent of the glamorous girl in the red dress under the classic "Ka", it is a performance of flamenco dance music that cannot be missed on Christmas Eve.
If I have to describe it, I think it is wooden, dark, bitter, spicy, warm, sweet, the whole is thick but the pomegranate brings freshness, and I like the sense of time and space, especially when I wake up the next day and smell the fragrance of the quilt, it seems to absorb the full courage and courage to face the future.
Christmas is the most different holiday of the year, the 24 hours after Christmas Eve, it is a "gentle alternation between old and new", and Zu Marlon makes her a secret island of smell, the key is only in your hand.
This year's Zu Marlon Christmas series is called "24 Flavors of Lixiang", which contains 20 daily star incense and 4 exclusive Christmas flavors, and on a brilliant Christmas Eve, with 24 wonderful stories and unique smells, engraved into our olfactory memory.
That's it, year after year, only Zu Marlon always convinces you that Christmas Eve is the beginning of a miracle. ❄️
