原始直覺

想必你亦知道Jo Malone London向來喜歡另闢蹊徑,甚至可說是反潮流而行。雖然挑選香氛涉及不少高深的理論,但在Jo Malone London,我們崇尚依照個性和直覺挑選。全球香氛研發總監Celine Roux將分享她的香氛探索之道。

相得益彰

你亦毋須只選一種香調。香調配搭鼓勵你試驗並疊加香氛,創造自己的專屬香氣。你可先後噴上兩款香氛,亦可配搭潤膚乳霜和古龍水。因此,不妨盡情混合柑橘、花香和丁點辛辣香調。全因有時候早上醒來,你希望披上誘人芳香,牡丹與胭紅麂絨糅合夜來香與白芷是不錯之選;而在其他日子,或許你純粹想散發宜人氣息,則可試試鼠尾草與海鹽古龍水配搭黑琥珀與野薑花清爽潤膚油。

理性 Vs 感性

這可助你了解前調、中調及基調等香調,查證香氛的直接影響及氣味停留在肌膚上的轉變。但你其實毋須執著於此。Celine表示︰「智能工具讓你清楚知道香氛當中的成分,但無法讓你明白自己對香氛的感受。氣味與情感密不可分。」

怎樣找到專屬香氛?

Celine表示︰「只要是你喜歡的香氣,其他一切的都不重要!若之後受人讚賞,自是錦上添花。噴香氛就像挑選服飾,如你自覺舒適自信,便是合適之選。」但如果你需要一點建議,我們的品味師精通香氛挑選之道,不妨為自己預留一點時間,前來專門店進行個人諮詢或享受手部及臂部按摩,定必顛覆你認為挑選香氛令人苦惱的想法。

男女有別?

Jo Malone London每款香氛均男女皆宜,以突破界限為大前提。Celine解釋︰「我們調製開拓嶄新香氛領域的氣味,既意想不到又平易近人。」這裡不會有Flirty Pink Water這種名稱。品牌香氛的名稱旨在頌揚箇中成分,如青檸、羅勒與柑橘或黑莓子與月桂葉。兩者均有複雜的香調結構,以營造迷人澄澈的效果。香氛的氣息......顯而易見。

Do You Have A Type?

All families are complicated - even the scented kind. You’ll probably have an inclination towards a particular fragrance family, but no one likes to be typecast. As Celine says: ‘Fragrance can alter your mood and make a statement, so don’t limit yourself by sticking to a singular familiar fragrance family like woody or spicy. It’s fun to take risks.’

The family politics cheat sheet to bear in mind:

Citrus - Refreshing, energising and enlivening
Fruity - Juicy, luscious and enticing
Floral - Delicate, smooth and intoxicating
Spicy - Fresh, passionate and vibrant
Woody - Earthy, warm and seductive

“Wearing fragrance is like choosing clothes - if you feel comfortable and confident, then it works”
