Extended information:

Matters needing attention in purchasing perfume:

First, look at the appearance. Observe whether the package is clean, complete and brand-new, and the name, registered trademark and place of origin are readily available.

the second is to look at the liquid state of perfume. Observe whether the perfume liquid is transparent and clear, without precipitation, turbidity and suspended matter.

the third is to look at the color of perfume. The colors of perfume are yellow, light yellow and purple. Yellow shows nobility, warmth, enthusiasm and power, while purple shows mystery, elegance and romance. Other colors are rare. The color of perfume should be soft, not too bright and harsh.

fourth, look at the tightness of perfume. Because perfume is a volatile liquid, and the liquid is easily oxidized by oxygen in the air, the method of requiring high sealing is very simple. If you try it on an unopened perfume bottle, there should be no fragrance. Open the perfume bottle, cover it tightly again, pause for a moment, and smell it again. It should also have no fragrance, indicating that the bottle cap is tight and there is no leakage.
