1. Do you know the three changes of perfume?
Due to the characteristics of perfume itself, when the fragrance of perfume is applied, with the passage of time, the fragrance gradually blends with the skin and then becomes the lingering fragrance that is about to disappear. As time goes by, the fragrance will change bit by bit, which is the change of fragrance, which can be divided into the following three stages:
After the perfume touches the skin, the first smell is called the front taste. This fragrance shoulders the important mission of letting people know about this perfume. Most of them are highly volatile citrus fragrance mixed with the smell of alcohol, which lasts about 10 minutes. When buying perfume, if you judge your likes and dislikes only by the previous taste, you will have a great chance of regret. Please pay special attention.
After the former flavor disappears, the middle flavor will gradually show up. The duration is about 30 minutes to two hours. The fragrance at this stage can best show the characteristics of this perfume, that is, the fragrance that the perfumer wants to show to everyone. At this time, it is most appropriate to choose the perfume that suits you.
When the fragrance blended with skin is mixed with body fragrance, it becomes the unique taste of people wearing this perfume. This fragrance is called aftertaste, which is the so-called lingering fragrance, and lasts for about 2 hours to half a day. However, animal spices with strong persistence often stay for a long time.
Now, take "One Thousand and One Nights" (Guerlain), an exotic and charming oriental tune, as an example to discuss the change of fragrance.
First of all, the foretaste is characterized by a citrus flavor with lemon, bergamot and citrus; Followed by the woody notes of Indian mint and the floral notes of roses and jasmine. The aroma of changing from the middle taste to the aftertaste is not only a sharp professional image, but also a fashionable impression, which is suitable for matching clothes such as suits.
When dating a friend or boyfriend with the same smell, it is recommended that you use a green or citrus fragrance such as "Givenchy" or "Hermes cologne".
If you use these perfumes after sweating and bathing, you will feel dry and fresh, which is very suitable for dynamic holidays. It is also suitable for matching trousers and casual clothes. It is also very good to try these perfumes when going out shopping!
The aroma of "Hua" (Kenzō Takada) or "Kalandou" and other compound floral notes or floral compounds is suitable for formal occasions and is used when wearing gorgeous clothes.
In addition, this kind of fragrant perfume is also suitable for dressing up and going out during the day, but perfume should be used during the day and essence should be used at night
Second, put on perfume 20 minutes before going out in the morning.
The fragrance will change with the passage of time, so before we go out, it is important to know when it is best to put on perfume.
Although wearing perfume is a perfect ending for dressing up, it doesn't mean spraying perfume after makeup. The fragrance when you just put on perfume is full of the smell of alcohol, which will make people around you feel unhappy.
Because after 20-30 minutes of wearing perfume, the fragrance is the best. Therefore, it is the best time to put on perfume 20-30 minutes before a date or dinner.
What's more, wearing perfume will make you feel cheerful. Therefore, please change your habits and wear perfume before putting on makeup. When you are wearing makeup, you will feel comfortable and full of happiness because you are surrounded by fragrance.
If you put on perfume in advance, you won't be in a hurry to go out, but you will wear too much perfume.
When you go out in the morning, you have put on perfume, and the fragrance still exists, but because our sense of smell smells the same smell for a long time, it will cause paralysis, so when you arrive at your destination, if you want to put on some perfume again, you must wear it lightly, or a little on your ankles and knees below your body. There will be no choking smell of alcohol, but also a slight aroma.
Third, master the appropriate use of parts, emitting elegant fragrance.
There are some rules that must be followed if you want to be a master of perfume use. It is also one of the rules to find the appropriate use parts.
Make good use of the new knowledge, master the correct parts and methods of perfume use, and make yourself a clever perfume user!
Perfume has the best effect on the skin directly. If you care about your body odor and want to cover it up with perfume, the result of mixing fragrance and body odor may be counterproductive. Perfume is to make it emit a fragrant aroma, not to use it to eliminate odor, so perfume must be rubbed on clean skin.
Since it is a beautiful fragrance, if it is mixed with sweat, it will lose its original flavor, so it is best to avoid using perfume under the armpits that are prone to sweating.
Unexpectedly, many people like to put perfume on the earlobe, because perfume can only emit its fragrance if it is exposed to temperature, so it has no effect at all on the low-temperature part of the earlobe. If it is directly put on the vein, it will be mixed with body fragrance and waft with a faint personality fragrance.
However, when applying perfume directly to the skin, avoid the parts where the sun shines. Because exposure to ultraviolet light is the cause of skin spots. In addition, if you directly sprinkle perfume on clothes, the fragrance will last, and it will cause trouble if you want to use perfume with different tonality next time, so please pay attention.
The inner side of the body has less body hair than the outer side, and its body temperature is also higher. The effect of wearing perfume is better. Especially when the perfume is rubbed on the inner side of the wrist and leg, the fragrance will spread out evenly during the activity.
Fourth, master the basic methods of wearing perfume
1. The main reason why perfume is not well rubbed is mostly because it is too thick. Use the same perfume every day, and after getting used to this fragrance, it will gradually increase. For yourself, it may be just the right fragrance, but for others, strong fragrance may have produced "olfactory pollution" I think that a slight lack of fragrance is the normal weight of perfume, and then I will make up the fragrance after the fragrance disappears. When you are not sure how fragrant the fragrance is, please ask friends and relatives around you to help you judge.
2. "wear" perfume, which means "wear" in English. Perfume is an invisible finery, so it should be widely and evenly rubbed on the body.
Essence is "point", perfume is "line" and cologne is "face". The lower the concentration of perfume, the wider it is, which is the secret of good perfume.
The so-called "touch" is to use the fingertips to touch the perfume and rub it on six or seven parts of the body bit by bit. If the perfume is concentrated in one place, the fragrance will not be distributed, and it will evaporate easily. Apply proper amount to every part to make the skin slightly wet. If you rub it too much, gently wipe it off with cotton dipped in ethanol, and the fragrance will not be too strong.
If you want to spray more widely, I suggest you use a sprayer. Before you put on your clothes, choose two or three parts to spray directly on your skin. Let the sprayer be about 10-20 cm away from the body, so that the sprayed perfume can form a mist, and the spraying range is wider. If you are worried that you will spray too much perfume, spray the perfume into the air, then walk through the fragrance fog and let the perfume fall evenly on your body, leaving only a faint fragrance.
Let the warmth of body temperature drive the fragrance around, so it is better to rub perfume on the lower body than on the upper body. And it won't be irritating to stay away from the nose. If it is rubbed on the skirt, the fragrance will sway with the swing of the limbs when walking, adding infinite charm. If you want the fragrance not to be too strong, it is also one of the ways to apply perfume to the lower body temperature.
However, it is taboo to rub perfume in the triangle formed by the connection between the ear and the brain, because the skin around the throat is very sensitive and too close to the nose is very irritating.
3, the use of perfume parts
If you want to give full play to the best effect of wearing perfume and make your gestures exude charming fragrance, you must know the correct use parts.
A, behind the ear
The most common place to wear perfume is this part, which has a high body temperature and is not affected by ultraviolet rays.
B, posterior neck
If it is long hair, you can cover it with your hair to avoid ultraviolet radiation. However, it belongs to the sensitive parts of the skin, and it must be used carefully according to the individual's situation.
C, hair
Put perfume on the tip of your hair, as long as you gently shake your head, it will be filled with charming fragrance. But when having dinner with people, it is best not to wear perfume here.
D, inside of elbow
The inside of the elbow belongs to the part with high body temperature. As long as you move the elbow, it will give off a fragrant aroma.
E, waist
When attending a dinner party, the perfume is rubbed below the waist, which makes the fragrance sway with the limbs more than the exposed skin.
F, wrist
The secret is to rub the perfume on the vein. This part has a high body temperature and is often active, which is a place where the fragrance is easily distributed.
G, fingertips
Fingertips are easy to get all kinds of smells. I hope it will become your habit to get perfume in this place. Especially for smokers, don't forget to take a little perfume from your fingertips. However, please be careful not to get the fragrance everywhere.
H, inside of the knee
Putting perfume on the inside of your knees can make you stand up and give off fragrance from bottom to top. When you touch up the perfume, just rub it directly on the stockings.
I, legs
Before you put on your stockings, put perfume on the inside of your legs, knees and ankles, so that the fragrance is not only elegant but also lasting.
J, ankle
Apply perfume to the inside of Achilles tendon above the ankle. Every time you gently move the lotus step, it will give off a faint fragrance. Don't forget this part if you want to touch up the perfume.
K, skirt
As long as you swing the skirt, the fragrance spreads gently, leaving a good impression.
5. Perfume should change according to the season or the weather.
Favorite perfume, no matter the change of season, I always hope to use it at any time. However, the fragrance will be influenced by the change of season or weather, so the important concept of using perfume is "you can't use it all in one bottle". Even the same perfume, in Taiwan Province, which is hot and humid, has a subtle difference in fragrance compared with the dry European countries.
When the temperature is high, the fragrance is strong, and when the temperature is low, the taste will not be so strong. In addition, when the humidity is high, the fragrance is easy to remain, and when the temperature is low, the fragrance volatilizes quickly.
If these factors are considered, the summer with strong activity is suitable for citrus fragrance, green fragrance or a compound floral fragrance with relatively convergent sweetness. Green fragrance is a fresh wood fragrance, which is also suitable for outdoor sports in summer. On the contrary, what is not suitable for summer university is the rich oriental perfume. Even if the temperature is very high, if the humidity is low, the rich aroma will not make people feel uncomfortable, but for the sultry summer in Taiwan Province, the rich aroma will be too choking. Oriental perfume with elegant fragrance in dry air is suitable for winter nights.
In addition, the crisp weather in autumn exudes natural fragrance everywhere, which is originally a season of fragrance. The elegant citrus moss fragrance is most suitable for autumn, and the leaves are full of the fragrance of water droplets, which makes people feel calm and comfortable. If you want to emphasize the feeling of maturity, the rich aroma is also suitable for romantic late autumn.
Sixth, how to skillfully change the fragrance?
Although the appropriate time, place and occasion of perfume use have been mentioned before, if you have to go directly from the office to the dinner party, the fragrance should be as easy to change as clothing.
If you add perfume with completely different fragrance to the existing fragrance, the result of mixing two different fragrances is likely to produce an unpleasant taste. Therefore, I would like to introduce you a clever way to change the fragrance smoothly without mixing the notes.
When you are scheduled to change perfume, don't put perfume on places where it is easy to leave fragrance. This is the most basic common sense. Of course, you can't wear perfume on clothes, and you should avoid it behind your ears, just rub it on your wrist. Because of the smell on the wrist, it is washed away with soap. During the day, you can also put perfume on small ornaments such as handkerchiefs or scarves. At night, just take these small ornaments and put perfume on your skin.
Even though "not overlapping different notes" is the common sense of using perfume, there are exceptions. How about using the combination of different notes to give full play to your superb skills and take risks?
If you want to take risks, you need skills. At this time, you can only use eau de toilette or cologne first, and then add perfume with heavy fragrance. The fragrance of perfume will cover the cologne, which will produce unexpected and very harmonious fragrance. Of course, the harmony of fragrance must be considered before use.
If you use citrus fragrance system during the day, you should choose green fragrance system or floral fragrance system at night; Use the green fragrance system during the day, and choose the floral fragrance system or orange moss fragrance system at night; During the day, it is a floral tone, and at night, it is an oriental tone or a citrus fragrance tone.
Some people want to find their own unique fragrance and mix perfumes, which is a very big mistake, because the production of a perfume is carefully prepared by a skilled perfumer after a long period of measurement. No matter how advanced the perfume is, the original delicate and harmonious fragrance of the perfume will collapse after mixed use, and the characteristics of the two perfumes will be offset.
I remember a joke: "After mixing Chanel NO.5 and NO.19, it becomes my unique NO.12 perfume." It's like listening to Bach and Beethoven's music at the same time, because the fragrance emitted by everyone is the result of perfume mixing with personal body fragrance. Even if the same perfume is applied to different people, the fragrance emitted cannot be exactly the same.
How to use perfume, eau de toilette and cologne wisely?
Have you ever thought that "perfume is expensive, so buy cologne"? If so, "If you use a small amount of perfume, will it become as light as cologne?" Even the fragrance of the same name will have some differences in the texture or performance of the fragrance because of the difference of perfume, eau de toilette or cologne. The fragrance is the same as wine, and it must be chosen according to the occasion and dishes. This is the smart use.
The key to perfume.
Usually, the essence we are talking about refers to the perfume with a perfume concentration of about 15-30%, and this grade of fragrance can best explain the brand characteristics. It lasts for a long time, about 5 to 7 hours, and the gorgeous and mature aroma is very suitable for going out at night or formal parties.
In Japan, perfume or eau de toilette is the most commonly used. The concentration of perfume is between 7% and 15%, which is a high-concentration fragrance product second only to essence. The duration is about 3 to 5 hours, which is similar to the fragrance of essence, but more economical than essence.
It is suitable for going out to watch plays, shopping or going to the office and attending simple parties during the day. When you choose the essence to buy, you might as well start with the perfume of the same brand.
Eau means water in French, Toilette means dressing room, and Eau de toilette means "water for trimming the body". The concentration of perfume is between 5% and 10%, which is a light fragrance and lasts for about 3 to 4 hours. Usually used in the office or leisure time, it is very consistent with the aroma of daily life.
Cologne is "fresh water sold in Cologne". The concentration of perfume is between 2% and 5%, which lasts for 1 to 2 hours. If you wear perfume, it is better to make yourself feel refreshed. Most of them belong to the refreshing aroma of citrus fragrance, which makes people feel very refreshing because of its high volatility. You can think of it as a kind of scented water, which is sprayed all over the body as a prop for changing the atmosphere before and after exercise or after a bath.
Eight, clothes that are easy to leave spots should not be directly sprayed with perfume.
High-grade spices from natural materials are themselves dark colors such as brown or yellow. After alcohol volatilizes, the spots left on clothes are the color of spices. When spraying perfume on clothes, you must pay attention to the residue of spots.
Not all fabrics are easy to leave spots, and they are often used as Teduolong for lining. Acrylic silk material will not leave spots.
In addition, wool, cashmere, nylon and other materials are not easy to leave spots, but please note that the fragrance will not disappear for a long time on clothes made of pure wool.
On the contrary, materials such as cotton, silk, rayon and fiber silk are easy to leave spots. In addition, the material of fur is not only difficult to eliminate fragrance, but also easy to deteriorate luster and change color, so don't spray perfume directly on fur. However, if you want to spray perfume directly on clothes of any material, you have to spray it inside. Light-colored or thin clothes must not spray perfume directly.
Once the spots are left on the clothes, they should be treated as soon as possible. Put a dry towel inside the clothes, then dip a piece of cloth with alcohol for disinfection and pat it gently on the spots. Perfume is insoluble in water, so it can't be wiped off with water or soap in a flurry.
If you can't wipe it off with alcohol, or the spots have remained for some time, you should send them to the laundry as soon as possible. If it is high-grade clothes, it is best to ask an expert to deal with it immediately when it is found.
Nine, pay attention to the coordination of cosmetics and perfume aroma.
Since there is no fragrance-free perfume, and cosmetics are bound to be inseparable from spices, many people worry that perfume will not be in harmony with the fragrance of cosmetics.
However, please rest assured that the current cosmetics are dominated by slight fragrance, so there will be no disharmony with perfume.
Instead, we should pay attention to the residual fragrance of shampoo and conditioner. There is no problem with general shampoo and conditioner, but some shampoo and conditioner that emphasize fragrance will not disappear after washing with water. Therefore, after using shampoo and hair conditioner that emphasize fragrance, perfume with different fragrance will conflict with fragrance.
If you use shampoo and conditioner that emphasize fragrance, don't use perfume, or use the same series of products, there will be no problem.
X. What are the taboos for using aroma?
Even if we want to "increase the chances of using perfume", of course, there are still places that are not suitable for using perfume, or places that must be used with special care. If you don't know how to distinguish these opportunities and occasions, you will be considered as a "person without common sense".
Just like when you visit a patient in a hospital, you don't send flowers with strong fragrance directly. The smell of perfume is also light, especially in a closed room. Patients are more sensitive to the smell than ordinary people, and may feel uncomfortable because of the smell of perfume.
In addition, the wake or farewell ceremony is not suitable for gorgeous fragrance. It is best not to wear perfume, but if you really want to use perfume, you should also choose perfume on the principle of feeling sad for the dead.
Similarly, pay special attention to the fragrance when going to a restaurant or dinner. Since we pay attention to the color, fragrance and taste of delicacies, if our own fragrance is too strong, the fragrance of delicacies will be dull. Especially sweet and sexy aroma will reduce appetite. Therefore, when going to a restaurant, it is a basic etiquette to only put perfume below the waist. Especially when attending food tasting, we should pay more attention to the use of perfume.
Of course, occasions with wine prefer fragrance, so don't forget the perfume when you make up your makeup after dinner, and then go to the next place.
Also, when attending a tea tasting party, you will burn incense and taste tea in a small tea room, so don't wear perfume.
Eleven, sensitive skin can also enjoy the fun of perfume.
Some people will get itchy or red and swollen when they are stimulated by alcohol or spices because the perfume is in direct contact with the skin. People who are allergic to cosmetics should also pay attention to perfume allergy. Even people with fragile skin want to enjoy using perfume. People who can't let perfume directly touch their skin will be fragrant as long as they put a little perfume on the left and right sides of the skirt. In addition, you can also use the fragrance when ironing clothes.
First, spread a handkerchief or gauze on the ironing rack and spray some perfume. Then put on the clothes, and the iron moves one or two centimeters above the clothes. When encountering hot air, alcohol will evaporate with the hot air, and the fragrance will remain on the clothes. In this way, the fragrance is softer than the fragrance directly applied to the skin, but the lingering fragrance is not easy to disappear. Or spray perfume on clothes and underwear, but be careful not to leave spots on clothes. If spots are found and treated as soon as possible, they will not leave traces.
In addition, spray perfume on the decorative handkerchief on your chest or stick it on the back of the brooch with a piece of cloth, and the faint fragrance will float out from your chest. If you wear a simple pendant, take a piece of cotton and put some perfume in it, and the effect is also very good!
Moreover, the baby perfume with low alcohol content, such as "Baby Bear", which is popular in recent years, is also favored by consumers with particularly sensitive skin. Do you want to try it?
XII. How to preserve perfume?
Perfume will deteriorate when it comes into contact with air or sunlight, and it is a very sensitive "creature". So you must use and preserve it carefully. When using touch-on perfume, directly touch it with your fingers, and the dirty things on your fingers are likely to enter the perfume and stain it. I suggest you add a nozzle to use. Perfume will not be toxic to the body if it is kept for a long time, but the fragrance will evaporate. So please use the perfume as soon as possible after it is opened. Perfume is best stored in a cool place, avoiding direct sunlight, direct light and high temperature places such as ovens and microwave ovens.
In addition, places with too high humidity, such as bathrooms, will also cause moisture to enter the perfume, which will deteriorate the perfume. Therefore, the safest place is to put the perfume in the perfume packaging box and then put it in a cool place to ensure that the perfume is not easy to deteriorate. If it is a special perfume, if you want to keep it longer, wrap it in plastic wrap and put it in the refrigerator, which will last for about 10 years. The use of plastic wrap is to prevent the smell of perfume from passing into food. If the perfume is properly stored, it can last for one to two years after being opened.
However, once the perfume is opened, it will deteriorate with time and environment, so it should be used frequently to avoid unnecessary losses. If the perfume has the following phenomena, it is bad. Please don't use it again. The usual feature is that the color of perfume will become darker, even precipitate will appear, and the fragrance may turn sour. It stinks. The most nerve-racking thing is that if a perfume is used for a long time, it will inevitably get tired. It will be a waste to throw it away, but it will not be used again. What should I do? You can use it as an air fragrance and spray it in the room or closet, wouldn't it be better? The used perfume bottles can be used for arranging flowers, bottles with nozzles, or as sprinklers, or these beautiful perfume bottles can be used as indoor decorations.
