Online Perfume Shopping Is Hard—Read This, and You'll 100% Choose the Right One
I asked former New York Times scent critic, Chandler Burr, for a few tips on how to online perfume shop. Keep reading fo...

オンラインで香水買うのは難しいけど、やり方によってはいけるよって記事。
サムネのCHANEL香水たちが可愛くて読んだんだけど、ほぼ同意。

swear

意味 〈人が〉<神などにかけて> 誓う, 宣誓する <to, by, on>

Ah, online perfume shopping—a topic that sparks much debate. Some would argue it simply can’t be done, while others swear by it and have fully mastered the art of selecting the perfect scent straight from their couch. What camp do I fall into? Well, I would say it’s the latter but only because I had help.

各ノートを調べまくれば大外しはしないんだけどね。カウンターで試して即惚れ→即買いする時の高揚感が足りないのよ!

pitfalls

意味 [通例~s]隠れた [気づかない] 危険, わな; 誘惑

Points well made in favor of online perfume shopping. Anything that allows me to shop from the comfort of my own home always bodes well with me, but there are also a few other pitfalls Burr says to avoid.

charred

意味 [通例[名]の前で]ひどく焼け焦げた, 黒焦げの.

“One thing to never do [is] select a perfume by its list of raw materials. You could see two cakes with bitter chocolate, hazelnuts, and charred vanilla bean. If I’m making one and master pastry chef Della Gossett the other, you should choose hers 100% of the time. The perfume has tuberose and orange flower? This means nothing. It’s all in the execution. And ordering a tester with a click will give you the answer.”

「各ノートを調べまくって買う」を否定されたw  確かに、配合割合やらトップかミドルかの違いとかで全然違う印象になるし、あくまで参考だけどさー。
どこもそんなに「サンプルだけ販売・少量販売」してないんだよ…!

hung up

意味 <…について> 悩んでいる <about, on>

Lastly, if you’re still hung up on gender marketing when it comes to selecting the right fragrance for you, Burr says to let that go. “Online, no one cares if you’re a man, woman, or something else. You can easily ignore the marketing that tells you which gender a fragrance is ‘for.’ Fragrances are for everyone. The first rule of perfume buying is ignore the gendering. Buying online makes that effortless.”

これは同意。最近「甘めのメンズフレグランス」にハマってて、カウンターで「メンズ試したい」って言うの少しだけ勇気がいりました。なので、これはわかる。カウンターは緊張するし、オンラインでポチる方が楽。…ただ、1万円以上払うときはやっぱり実物試してからにしたいのよなあ。

radiant

意味 [通例[名]の前で]光を放つ, 明るく輝く〈太陽· 宝石など〉.

Key notes: basil, Sicilian orange, lime, bergamot, petitgrain, lemon, green notes, hedione, jasmine, rose, patchouli. Inspired by the country landscape along the coast of Normandy, this warm, radiant fragrance boasts notes of lemon, jasmine, and Sicilian orange.

heady

意味 [通例[名]の前で]強い, 酔いが早い〈酒など〉; 人を酔わせるような〈雰囲気· においなど〉

Key notes: black coffee, white flowers, vanilla. This fragrance is the perfect mix of heady, sweet, and soft. It’s a fan favorite with almost a perfect five-star review, and let’s just say I’m a sucker for anything with coffee notes in it.

ブラックコーヒーとバニラは好きそうだけど、white flowersが読めない…けど多分苦手だなw

realm

意味 (文)[しばしば R-; 通例単数形で]王国 (kingdom); 国土.

Key notes: ylang-ylang, blackcurrant leaf, pink peppercorn. Diptyque’s light and crisp scent, Eau Moheli, brings to mind a Parisian orchard of fresh fruit. Yes, that’s super specific, but I have to say it’s one of my most-worn perfumes and always transports me somewhere in that realm when I catch a whiff of it.

Diptyque、ボトルデザイン好きだし練り香水もあってかなり沼りそうな危険ブランドなので距離を置いてる。

splurge

意味 [C] (話) 見せびらかし; 豪遊; 散財

Key notes: Calypso orchid, mandarin, Bulgarian rose, almond milk, ylang-ylang, iris, white musks, sandalwood, benzoin. This is a splurgy option for sure, but it’s one of my most beloved fragrances. It’s soft but smells totally unique thanks to notes of Bulgarian rose, Calypso orchid, almond milk, and sandalwood. It basically encapsulates all of my most-prized fragrance notes into one scent.
