While sight and touch are often seen as the most important senses, our sense of smell is equally important. Smell is closely linked to memory and emotion. A quick whiff of something familiar can bring us back to a special time or place, like memories of loved ones or childhood homes. Scent also helps shape our personal image and identity. It is the perfumer who captures these feelings and turns them into perfumes that allow us to express who we are.
虽然视觉和触觉通常被视为最重要的感官,但我们的嗅觉也同样重要。嗅觉与记忆和情感密不可分。一缕熟悉的气味就能将我们带回某个特殊的时刻或地点,像是对挚亲的思念或童年故居的回忆。气味也有助于塑造我们的个人形象与身分。而调香师正是捕捉这些感受,并将其转化为能够让我们表达自我的香水。
