你對(duì)香水了解多少？

Everything You Need to Know About Perfumes

Everyone likes to smell good. The best way to do this, in addition to bathing and brushing your teeth, is to wear perfume. The act of wearing some sort of fragrance is a trait that men and women share.

每個(gè)人都喜歡讓自己聞起來香香的。除了洗澡刷牙，噴香水也能給人一種優(yōu)雅溫和的感覺。俗話說：愛美之心，人皆有之。美現(xiàn)在已不是只停留在視覺上了,味覺很重要而且比視覺更加原始，所以無論男人女人都要用香水來增加自己的魅力！

Selecting the Perfect Perfume

選擇完美香水

Because there are so many perfumes on the market trying to pick the one that best suits you can sometimes seem like an overwhelming task.

市場(chǎng)上香水品牌繁多，如何選出適合自己個(gè)性、氣質(zhì)、并能使自己精神舒爽、增加魅力的香水呢? 

Buying perfume is something that you really have to do in person. Until you know if you like a scent you really shouldn’t order it online or from a sales catalog. Once you have picked a scent you know you like, feel free to place an order.

選香水純屬個(gè)人的事。如果你不知道自己喜歡什么味道的香水，就不要在網(wǎng)上購買。一旦你確定了你喜歡的味道，那你就可以隨時(shí)訂購了。

When you are at the perfume counter you should take your time and sniff several different kinds of perfumes. If you find one that you like, you should spray a little on the inside of your wrist and walk away from the perfume counter. Because there are so many different smelling perfumes in one place, it can be difficult to distinguish one scent from another. By spraying a little from a tester bottle and than walking to another section of the store, you can really get an idea about how the perfume truly smells.

當(dāng)你買香水的時(shí)候，應(yīng)該花點(diǎn)時(shí)間游走在各個(gè)香水柜臺(tái)前，試用幾款不同的香水直到你發(fā)現(xiàn)你喜歡的味道。你可以在你的手腕上噴一點(diǎn)香水進(jìn)行試聞，試聞的時(shí)候要離柜臺(tái)遠(yuǎn)一點(diǎn)，否則在眾多香味前很難分辨出你選擇的是什么味道。

Don’t assume that just because a perfume smelled nice on someone you know that it will smell the same when it is on your skin. Your personal body chemistry has a lot to do with how the perfume smells.

別人身上香水的味道未必適合你。每個(gè)人身體的化學(xué)反應(yīng)跟香水散發(fā)出的味道有很大關(guān)系。適合自己的才是最好的！

Storing Your Perfume

貯藏香水

When you get your brand new bottle of perfume home you should store it in a place that has a moderate temperature. Perfume does not do well when it is exposed to constantly changing temperatures.

當(dāng)你買了一瓶備用香水后，要把它放在溫度適宜的地方。如果把香水放在變溫的環(huán)境下，它的香味就會(huì)消失了。

Wearing Your Perfume

噴灑適合你的香水

If you use a scented shower gels and lotions you should make sure that the scents match the scent of your new perfume. You really don’t want the two scents to clash.

如果你使用的潤(rùn)膚劑或潤(rùn)膚乳帶有清香味,一定要使它們的氣味與你香水的氣味相搭配。

When it comes to perfume, having oily skin can actually work in your favor. For some reason people with oily skin tend to absorb the scent better than dry skin.

香水很受油性皮膚人們的青睞。因?yàn)橛托云つw吸收氣味的能力比干燥皮膚強(qiáng)。
