Girl with a bowknot headband 戴蝴蝶結的女孩


Wearing a bowknot headband and a perfume at the same time, she smells like a veil of powdery pink. The smell is close to a pure form of aesthetics shrouded in the qualities of romance, feminine, and cuteness.

This article focused on the visual inspiration of Natalie Portman in the advertisement of Miss Dior Cherie, and how her playful style evoked a creative connection between "cuteness", "bowknot", and "pink smell".

戴蝴蝶結搽香水,聞出來的味道會有一層粉紅的透明感。那是一種純造形的審美主義,有著接近可愛的浪漫、淘氣、裝飾性,及溫和的氣質。在世故、憂雅、女人味、可信賴、樂觀種種加諸於女性的形容詞上,最可愛的特質應該還是“可愛”。渾然天成的可愛是不可多得的,就像好來塢女演員娜塔麗·波特曼一樣,從《殺手不太冷》的小女孩,到《星戰前傳》的高貴女王,再到《黑天鴯》的芭蕾舞演員,及至變身為迪奧香水的繆斯,其舉手投足之中都帶著一點聰慧的可愛………。
本文將著墨於波特曼與「可愛」、「蝴蝶結」,「粉紅」的感官聯想。

fragrance is OK!

The First Issue at OK! 創刊號

May 1st was the date of a happy festival dedicated to Flora, the goddess of flowers and of spring. It also marked the very first issue of my new fragrance column at OK!, a celebrity and lifestyle magazine in China.

For each issue I will choose a fragrance to express the creative connection between fragrance and style, each time focused a different celebrity who would reflect a particular aesthetic value and inspiration for the fragrance. With a bit of educational flair added, I hope to share with the reader the knowledge to select the right fragrance for their own personalities and occasions.

I apologize for not updating my blog on a more regular basis, but at least I can refer my Chinese readers to my fragrance column every other week...


在歐洲,5月1日是一個獻給春天與花卉女神 Flora 的快樂節日。它同時也標誌著我在中國名人時尚雜誌 OK! 書寫香水專欄的開始!

每一期刊,我會聚焦在一位名人所反映的獨特審美觀,再因應其個人風格給與我的靈感來挑選一款香水。專欄中,名人與香水的美學風格相對呼應,隱隱然地讓讀者進一步了解香水與風格品味的創意聯想;輕輕鬆鬆地帶出一些香水美學教育,與讀者分享如何正確選擇適合自己的個性和社交場合的香水知識。

很抱歉沒有勤快地更新我的博客,但至少我的中文讀者們,可以開始每隔一周閱讀我的香水專欄...
