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.

• Fragrant - 芳香


• Ritual - 习惯性活动，小仪式

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.

• On special occasions - 在特殊场合


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


• Wear perfume - 喷香水


• Feel the need for it - 觉得有这个必要


• Don't bother - 懒得


• An accessory - 一种配饰


• Essential - 必需品


• Everyday life - 日常生活


• Subtle - 微妙的


• confidence boost - 信心提升


• It's perfectly fine to - 完全没问题... / ...是完全可以的

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
