北海小威就是愛旅遊，就想灑香香說故事

還記得在2019年過完年沒多久，我就飛到泰國曼谷展開一系列的香氛探尋之旅，期間真的很感謝台灣三大水在曼谷的協助，一路上除了照顧我的吃喝之外 (結果就讓我一下子胖了三公斤，回國後上健身房被教練虧了不少)，重點是還讓我接觸到PAWIS這個品牌，甚至和品牌創辦人與產品研發見了面與深入訪談，期間介紹在之前文章也都有提到，但不得不特別說說2019年上半年才推出來的這個香味，柚木 (Teak)，第一時間聽到這名字時候，我聯想到的是家具，畢竟有個品牌叫做XX柚木啊！但很神奇的是，當我第一次聞到柚木這個味道時候，Pawis跟我說：「What we would like to try is to make fragrances more interesting. I believe you will find more than Teakwood in this product.」還真的是阿娘喂，這味道何止只有more interesting，根本就是much more fantastic了吧！

I still remember the trip to Bangkok in early 2019. I am so thankful to all help endeavored by the agent San Da Shui in Taiwan for my stay in Thailand. They helped me to get all the necessaities during my stay in Bangkok (then I indeed gained 3kg weight on my body after the great trip over Thailand). One of the most precious experiences was to meet up the founder of fragrance brand, PAWIS in this trip. The brand introduction has been thoroughly reported in the previous article but I still have to point out the special scent of latest masterpieces in 2019, TEAK. When I heard the name of this new fragrance in the first time, what I was thinking about is the famous furniture name in Taiwan. However, whilst I was smelling it, I was told by Pawis that " What we would like to try is to make fragrances more interesting. I believe you will find more than teakwood in this product." So wonderful, the scent I smelt was not only more interesting even I may say, it's much more fantastic.

柚木聽起來似乎好像是深埋在一堆木頭，老家具或是骨董的味道是嗎？但這罐室內噴霧的特色在於，他前導香氣中有明顯的薑精油，瞬間把木質香氣增添了相當明顯的清新與舒爽感，或許是因為泰國本身就身處熱帶國家，悶濕的天氣真的不適合遇上厚重的沉重木香，相對清香的柑橘花香似乎又感覺無趣乏味，若將清香的素材放到厚重的木頭味中，會不會又另一種不一樣的表現呢？薑的精油香味放緩了木質香中悶膩的襲擊，而巧妙地再加入一些莓果類的果香系元素，那粗大的木頭似乎如同夏季雷雨後的爽涼與生氣，也正代表著南國的豐富樣貌，我好喜歡這樣的對比性表現，原來香氣有這樣的變化延展性，甚至，可以讓人在這麼短的時間內，產生這樣令人的著迷的喜愛，我想，這樣的非凡木質香(不！他甚至沒有一般木質香的表現態樣，而是輕柔型的木香)，很難讓人不擁有它。

From the name of Teak, it seems the scent from the deep burning woods or old furnitures. Contrarily, this room mist has a special feature in the very beginning, the ginger oil performance. With the help of ginger, the clear fresh and clean element immediately comes up to the olfaction and reduce the hard and thick performance of woody fragrance. I guess the heavy scent from wood does not fit for the hot and humid weather in Thailand, the light and fresh scent may play an important role in perfumes. However, only the citrus and floral scents to act for this role may be quite boring. The try of adding some contradictory factors into the unfit woody scent opens another window for this limitation. Ginger oil greatfully reduces the heavy attack from woody scent and then the fruity fragrance following after the ginger makes the scent more vivid. Suddenly, the wood is with lots of lives just like the thunder in summer brings moisture to dried woods. The conflict beaty in this room mist product is really attractive and terrific. It broadens my view to fragrances and breaks the stereotype. I fell in love with this fragrance product soon after I met up with PAWIS, I think no one can really get rid of its charm after knowing its artistry.

香味的層次，在柚木中一樣也讓人覺得讚賞，我喜歡在前面這種相對的衝突美中，可以嗅到一股新鮮的菸草葉香，那味道在那對比的表現中，展現出一種畫龍點睛的奇妙，平衡地拉著清爽淡柔的薑與莓果，也同時中和掉木質香氣中常令人難以駕馭的後盾感，同時菸草葉的香氣，也處理掉多餘的濕潤感，讓整體香氣的風格是在一種乾濕適中狀態下，靜靜地繞在我的身邊，用在室內噴霧中，也不會顯得空氣過於濕潤難耐，相反地也不會用在身上感覺黏膩不悅，這樣的層次是我決定入手它的原因之一，如果想要層次明顯，又想要與眾不同，PAWIS的柚木絕對是選擇之一。

The gradtional changes of Teak fragrance is also marvelous to me. Although I enjoy the contradition of fruity and woody performances in the top note quite much, the tobacco leaf plays in the middle (or say it as heart note) is the more interesting attraction to me. It balances the soft ginger and berry to more stronger but comes to ease the heardness of woody scent in hot season. Moreover, the scent of tobacco also ease out the redundant moisture in Teak Room Mist. Once you would like to use it in your room, the humidity would not be in excessive and if you would like to use as your personal fragrance, the tobacco will help you to get rid of the stuffy shock. The gradational change must be one of the reasons that you cannot give it up. If you would like to seek some fragrance with interesting and charming factors, Teak shall be your opition.

柚木的香氣，是令人感到深邃的，在前導與核心中，我們感受到了深邃的香氣中帶有明亮清雅的元素後，Pawis似乎不打算罷手，他甚至開始在這樣的藝術香氣作品上，再加上一些元素來強化他的藝術感，就這樣地，橡樹的暖烘感，竟然被加進來了？融合琥珀的加速下，我深怕是不是厚重的問題又要再回來了？看來我真的多慮了，反而因為橡樹與琥珀，把柚木的清脆與可能性又再次加大加深，那種帶有自信的活潑感，瞬間流在空氣的律動中，原來木質香氣不是只有穩重與厚實，而是可以有活潑與動力的，這種表現與玩香的態度，真的令人大開眼界。

The scent from teak is quite profound I have to admit. However, it is quite successful in the play of art from the top and heart notes of this fragrance. Even so, Pawis does not feel satified and he would like to make more bold creation to this product. He used oak and amber to accelerate the artistry. It comes with the doubts to me if the two elements will bring back the problems of heaviness and stuffy unhappiness. The truth proves my fault as the oak and amber indeed strengthen the teak melodious feature. It is so confident and vivid which you must be able to feel it in the air immediately. Not only the maturality and thickness can be found in woody scent, the vivid or sometimes naughty colours can be found therein. Why not follow it to explore all kinds possibilities with PAWIS?
