I once saw a friend in a community forum talking about some people's love for collecting antique perfume, but she was amazed at the old perfume habit which did not follow the trend and pursue the thick and fat. In her eyes, the old perfume is old and old-fashioned. It has expired over a long time, and it has not been the proper quality of popular luxury goods.

I am not surprised at her idea. Jean Paul Du's antique version of Jean Patou Joy, 1930| perfume commentary or Voss's high definition Worth Je Reviens carries little information about it, not to mention their unique qualities and wonderful temperament. Here is the article for the common mistakes of novices about perfumes.

Perfume will expire.

Wrong! First of all, perfume will not deteriorate merely because of the time problem. It is usually the light and high heat that cause them to deteriorate. Put a bottle of your new perfume on the side of the window and let it shine. Take another bottle and keep it in the drawer. You can observe the change in color and smell within a week.

However, a small number of perfume due to the relationship between the formula, will indeed cause changes in flavor due to time. It doesn't matter if perfume is expensive. Annick Goutal Petite Cherie, a popular fragrance, is often criticized by people for several months. Because each spice has its own unique chemical properties, the most easily changing part of a perfume is the front tone, followed by the most stable one. This is also the reason for keeping the antique perfume intact.

What is the reason why some perfume changes color after a long time? This is related to perfume used in perfume. Usually the color will darken, but this does not affect the taste of perfume. For example, red currant (Garnet berry), vanilla (vanilla), Hydrangea (Hydrangea) and other spices are prone to discoloration effect. I have a bottle of Thierry Muller Thierry Mugler Womanity in my hand, and the 2010| perfume commentary has been turned from pink to yellow in 1 years after the hands of natural vanilla, but the taste has not changed.

What is the warranty period for perfume packaging boxes? Because China's General Administration of quality supervision, inspection and quarantine stipulates that cosmetics box packaging must be marked with the shelf life and batch number of cosmetics, usually three years. The shelf life of products in North America and parts of Europe is calculated according to the standard of the opened date (see the small round can mark of the product bottle body for details). In addition, some European products are marked with both the shelf life after opening and the shelf life without opening (usually 3 years).

Women can only use female incense, men can only use male incense

Wrong! In fact, when a perfume was made by a perfumes teacher, it was not labeled as "female fragrance" and "male fragrance". This is the marketing strategy formulated by the marketing department according to the report of the incense teacher, and for marketing. And in practical use, women can use almost any male fragrance (except male perfume), such as Burberry London men (New London) Burberry London for Men, 2006| perfume reviews are popular in women's circles. On the contrary, some female incense men are also very suitable for use, such as dujibana light blue DolceGabbana DG Light Blue, 2001| perfume comment.

The Parfum version must be stronger than the EDT version.

From the pure flavor concentration of perfume, Parfum edition is the highest concentration. But from the perspective of people's sense of smell, it's not the same thing. The Parfum version of concentrated flavor has less alcohol than the Eau De Toilette EDT version, so the odor effect on the skin is softer and the diffuser area is lower due to the slow evaporation speed. And most people use EDT version more often than Parfum version, so from the impression, EDT smells stronger.

The same concentration of perfume (EDP, EDT) version is just different flavor concentration.

Some situations are right, but usually it is not the case. Because of the different fragrance spices, brand manufacturers usually change their perfume formula to produce different editions. So strictly speaking, they can not be regarded as the same perfume. For example, Guerlain a (a pearl in the palm) Guerlain Jicky, 1889| perfume comment and Chanel 5 Chanel N degree 5, 1921| perfume comment EDT and EDP version smell is found to be significantly different.

Smelling coffee beans can restore the sense of smell

It's all wrong. Although the major perfume counters will be equipped with coffee beans, the smell of coffee beans will only make your tired smell one disaster after another. Because coffee beans themselves contain very strong and complex odors, inhaling these scents will make the residual odor molecules in the nasal cavity more chaotic, and further make olfactory paralysis. The only way to restore the sense of smell is to take a deep breath in clean air, clean the nasal cavity, and let the olfactory nerves rest.

Friction between hands and hands will destroy perfume components.

Wrong. This is a content that guides the buyer when buying perfume. But if such simple physical friction can make the odor level of molecular level destroyed, it is too much for Arabian Nights. Unless you can cause severe friction, cause skin to warm up, and make the front and middle components of perfume evaporate and change the original odor characteristics, this "little action" will not change the molecular structure of perfume.

The former, the middle and the latter are the perfume ingredients.

Wrong. A perfume's front middle and back dial watch, usually written by the public relations department of perfume brand manufacturer, aims at giving a general concept to what perfume contains. It is usually written by people in public relations according to the smell, or according to their profession, how to describe three tone components can better attract consumers. Therefore, most of the perfume before and after is not very accurate. They look better.

Most of the odors in perfume are simulated, and many perfume containing aldehydes usually do not label aldehydes because they are abstract. There are many kinds of aldehydes, which are often used to simulate certain odors. For example, when you smell peaches, what you smell is aldehydes, not real natural peaches.

Musk in perfume can lead to infertility.

The most primitive musk deer is a very precious raw material. In the black market, musk deer can be sold for 45000 US dollars per kilogram, even more expensive than gold. An adult musk deer can only extract about 10g pure musk. To extract one kilogram of pure musk deer, it is necessary to kill about 160 musk deer. Musk deer has been recognized as an endangered species by the United Nations Association for the protection of nature (IUCN). The international flavor and Fragrance Association (IFF) has also banned the addition of natural musk in perfumes.
