香水調

那怕你是沒有汗臭的煩惱,踏入初夏,化妝櫃內無論如何也要具備一瓶芳香的香水。由最簡單的 perfume,到味道濃烈的「古龍水」適隨尊便,加強你的吸引力之餘,亦有助提升 inner self 的獨特魅力。

跟據非正式統計,香水應該是每位男士化妝櫃內唯一必備的 grooming product,那怕你仍有使用女朋友護膚產品的壞習慣,但由於男、女裝香氛氣味截然不同,所以香水一直佔有一個「唯我獨享」的地位。雖然香水種類繁多,但一般而言我們可將之歸納為三大類,第一是 perfume、第二是 eau de perfume、第三是 eau de toilette,當中主要是跟據香精的成份比例,簡單點說,比例愈重的,香味就會愈持久。雖然不少男士至今仍「一支香水走天下」,但其實在香港這個潮濕城市,隨著夏季的出現男士們普遍會出現汗流滿面的情況,所以在選擇香氛時亦有大學問,而且當香精與汗水氣味重疊後會出現令人意想不到的古怪異味,所以於夏季應挑選一些較清淡的花香或水果味的香氛。

當大家選擇香氛時,肯定對所謂的前調、中調及基調感到莫名其妙,其實所謂的前調是香水噴後即時揮發出來的味道,所以香味比較強烈;中調是在前調揮發後剩下的味道,味道一般比較平和,可維持兩分鐘到一小時。後調則是香水最基本的味道,於噴後半小時後才能察覺,但由於香精成份的combination有如恆河沙數,而不同人士對不同味道的反應有別,所以任何出色的香水師亦沒有辦法研製出一條必勝的formula﹗

estee lauder 論美麗

  • If you don't sell, it's not the product that's wrong, it's you.
  • Touch a face. Touch a hand. Say, “This is for you, this is what I want you to wear.”
  • When you stop talking, you've lost your customer. When you turn your back, you've lost her.
  • Look for a sweet person. Forget rich.
  • If there is a message at all, it's probably that we have to recognize in ourselves how we feel morally about certain things and make sure we follow that up with our actions.
  • New generations want to buy their own brands ... They don't necessarily want to buy a brand that's been around for a long time.
  • Our existing brands have a fairly strong and wide distribution in the stores that they are already sold. We were excited about the possibility of working with Kohl's to create new brands for their customers.
  • I have never worked a day in my life without selling. If I believe in something, I sell it, and I sell it hard.
  • If you put the product into the customer's hands, it will speak for itself if it's something of quality.
  • Beauty is an attitude. There's no secret. Why are all brides beautiful? Because on their wedding day they care about how they look. There are no ugly women - only women who don't care or who don't believe they're attractive.
  • I didn't get there by wishing for it or hoping for it, but by working for it.
  • In a perfect world, we'd all be judged on the sweetness of our souls. But in our less than perfect world, the woman who looks pretty has a distinct advantage and, usually, the last word.
  • I never dreamed about success. I worked for it.
  • You may have great inner resources, but they don't show up as confidence when you don't feel pretty.
  • People are more apt to believe you and like you when you know you look fine. And when the world approves, self-respect is just a little easier.
  • Both were European in every straight-laced way and I desperately wanted to be 100 percent American.
  • I recognized in my Uncle John my true path...I watched and learned.


Lauderisms


  • Create your own style Don’t be afraid of the trial and error approach Find the proper location When you're angry, never put it in writing You get more bees with honey Keep your own image straight in your mind Learn to say no.
  • Divide and rule Keep an eye on the competition.
  • Acknowledge your mistakes Act tough Trust your instincts Write things down Hire the best people Train the best sales force Break down barriers Give credit where credit is due To sell a cream, you sold a dream in the early days.
  • I was a woman with a mission and single-minded in the pursuit of my dream.
