While New York, London, Milan and Paris have been hosting (or are about to host) the autumn/winter 2013 womenswear shows, fragrance counters everywhere are unveiling their candidates for spring/summer. And while “summer” and “celebrity” have been the dominant trends of the 200-plus perfume launches that happen annually, this time two identifiable olfactory themes stand out: oud (a rich scent from the resin of the Agar tree) and nude. 正当纽约、伦敦、米兰还有巴黎正热热闹闹地举行2013女装秋冬秀时，各地的香氛专柜也上架了各自的春夏新品。并且尽管每年新发布的两百余种香水都逃不开“夏天”、“名人”等等元素，但这一次，两种香氛主题更为醒目：沉香(oud，一种嗅觉丰富的琼脂气息)和裸香（nude）。 Nude is so soft and subtle that you have to be up close and personal to smell it; oud is rich, sensual and, while not quite in the 1980s “enters a room before you do” category, makes an obvious statement. What gives the trends weight is that they both have not only heritage – the clean scents of Asia and the heavy perfumes of Arabia – but a modern global market dimension too. 裸香非常轻柔细腻，你需要更近更私密的距离才能嗅到它；沉香则丰富、感性，尽管不像是上世纪80年代那种“香水味比人更先进屋”的风格，但依旧让人印象深刻。这两种趋势之所以势不可挡，除了历史悠久之外——清新的气息来自亚洲，而馥厚的气息则来自阿拉伯——同样也符合现代市场的需要。 |
