Scent has a very interesting function – storing memory. It triggers certain parts of your brain or body to react to a specific person or relate to a piece of memory.
I am especially fond of woody and more manly perfumes in winter, and currently I am obsessed with OUD by Robert Piguet.
The OUD and myrrh blend so well together and complement each other perfectly. Not to mention its ridiculous (in a good way!) longevity that some perfumes claim to have, but only a select few actually achieve!
香水是個很奇妙的東西,它是一種記憶的儲存體。每當你聞到一種味道的時候,你會想起一個人,一件事情,一段回憶。
在冬季的時候,我特別喜歡比較具有男性氣味的香水,這種味道在很多男性的香水里可以找到。最近讓我癡迷的一個世界聞名,專做香水的法國品牌:Robert Piguet 其中的OUD沈香木味這款香水。
氣味真的很難解釋,所以大家如果有機會可以自己去聞一下。不過簡單來說,你可以想像一下沈香和沒藥的完美結合,一種低調濃鬱深沈的香。而且這款OUD的香味持久性真的是,無可挑剔。
I am no perfume critic or scent master, so instead I’ll quote one customer’s review online that sums up the scent quite well: “An interesting bitter woods opening, with a strong smoky note that quickly takes centre stage. A brief green note, translating into a slightly bitter undertone, while the smoky woods continues its development and dry-down. Fairly linear from then on. Longevity is excellent, and when applied with a delicate hand, sillage is quite acceptable. This seems to me a more masculine fragrance, but it can certainly be worn by women as well.”
Masculine – maybe that’s why I am so drawn to it…!
The concept of wearing nothing but perfume to bed used to sound a bit clichéd to me, but I think I could actually do it with OUD… that’s how much I am in love with it!
以前,我聽到甚麼睡覺甚麼都不穿,只要“穿”著最愛的香水這些覺得。。。怎麼可能,或者會不會太誇張了。
但是,我現在真的就是喜歡擁有這個味道在身上並進入夢鄉。不管是有穿還是沒穿衣服。。。
很推薦這個品牌給熱衷香水,或者和我一樣喜愛專注就做一個領域品牌的人。尋找屬於你自己,在這個時節的個人“香味”,並創造一段讓自己刻骨銘心的“氣味”日記這個想法,是不是很浪漫呢?!
