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.
雖然視覺和觸覺通常被視為最重要的感官,但我們的嗅覺也同樣重要。嗅覺與記憶和情感密不可分。一縷熟悉的氣味就能將我們帶回某個特殊的時刻或地點,像是對摯親的思念或童年故居的回憶。氣味也有助於塑造我們的個人形象與身分。而調香師正是捕捉這些感受,並將其轉化為能夠讓我們表達自我的香水。
