00:10 Do you like perfume?
Yes, I do. Some perfumes smell really fragrant, and they can be fun to explore.
In fact, my friends and I have this little ritual whenever we happen to walk into a Miniso store—we sniff different perfumes together. We hold the tester sticks up to each other's noses, try to guess the names, and end up laughing at the funny guesses. It's a simple way to enjoy perfumes and share a good laugh.

00:39 Do you use perfume?
I do, but only on special occasions like parties or events, or when I’m in a particularly good mood. On regular days, I rarely wear perfume, mostly because I don’t feel the need for it or I just don’t bother.
I see perfume as more of an accessory rather than something essential for everyday life. When I do wear it, I enjoy the subtle confidence boost it gives me, but I also think it’s perfectly fine to go without it most of the time.

* In a particularly good mood - 心情特别好的时候

* Don't bother - 懒得
* An accessory - 一种配饰

* Everyday life - 日常生活

01:11 Where do you spray perfume?
For me, I usually spray it once into the air in front of me and then walk through it. That’s my go-to method for applying perfume as it distributes the scent evenly without being too overwhelming.
Sometimes, I’ll also spray a small amount on my wrists or pulse points—those areas where the blood vessels are closer to the skin, like the neck or inner wrists.
* Spray - 喷洒
* My go-to method - 我的惯用方法 / 我的首选方法
* Applying perfume - 喷香水
* Distributes the scent evenly - 香味分布均匀
* Overwhelming - 过于浓烈
* Wrists - 手腕
* Pulse points - 脉搏点
* Blood vessels - 血管
01:40 Do you send perfume to others as a gift?
Yeah, but only to people I know very well, because choosing the wrong perfume can sometimes backfire I think. I remember though one time I gifted a small bottle of perfume to a close friend, and it turned out she really appreciated it.
I think that's the only time I've given perfume as a gift. For me, perfume is a very personal item, so if I do give perfume, I'd prefer to gift it only when I'm confident about the recipient’s taste.
* Backfire - 适得其反
* Gifted - 赠送了
* A close friend - 一位好友
* Really appreciated it - 非常感激 / 非常喜欢
* Personal item - 私人物品
* Recipient - 接收者，收礼的人
