北海小威就是愛旅遊，就想灑香香說故事

那天午後的陽光很耀眼，這個夏天格外的炎熱，歐旅回來之後，一直對很多事情都提不起大勁，自己便幫自己找了個藉口，認為時差和歐洲的慢活步調害我還沒完全恢復。我走到電腦前按了播放鍵，喇叭傳出來的音樂，是王笠人的「如果我們再相遇」，慢柔的曲調，打開了這段故事的視窗...灑上Floraiku的香道作品AO，那歷歷在目的景象，一一重新在我眼前重演著！

That afternoon, the sunshine was so bright and the heat in the house made me a bit annoyed. It is an extremely hot summer and even I just came back from my holidays in Europe. Nothing could really stir up my desire or motivation so I just made an excuse to explain my laziness. The jet lag and slow living philosophy are the best citations for this phenomena. I went to my laptop and played the music randomly. The song was “If We Meet Up Again” which turned on my memory machine. With the tunes I heard, the stories came up to myself again. 

那低沉慢流的橘子香味，在悶熱的空氣裡慢慢侵蝕著，歌詞唱著「感情總是沒有道理...當初我到底在想什麼？敢恨敢愛地執著...」，那隱約可見的傷痕依舊存在，這似乎應該要說讓人難耐，令人厭惡！可為什麼？那心跳沒有加速著，情緒沒有因為腎上腺素急速分泌而高揚，反而，心裡面的那一塊，好像已經不再疼痛，甚至隨著那股有厚度的橘子香，沈澱下來之外，也釋放了！那種壓力釋放後的輕鬆感隨之而來，原來這就是翻頁了... 

The orange just flowed in the warm and humid air, like ants invading the land over the table. The lyrics of the song were as “it’s not logic in love, and I was persistent to everything about you...”. It seemed that I should be in anger to hate you and felt regretful to all memories belonged to you and me. However, the scent of the thick citrus obviously helped me cool down and even released. The essential oil alike scent from Floraiku AO is a pair of soft hands to make me release and touch the happiness in sadness. Finally I knew I had turned to next chapter already.

人的緣份真的很難解釋，當初那火熱的轟轟烈烈，如今看來都好像家家酒那樣的既幼稚又可愛，其實在關係裡的世界，沒有絕對的對錯，只有相對的好與壞，或許我們都在遇到另一個人的時候，才知道原來之前的堅持與執著，其實並不是什麼了不起；更或者是，在遇上了另一個故事的時候，才知道當初失去的有多珍貴。可能不是每個人都喜歡無花果葉的那種感覺，但今天的我卻好著迷在這種屬於夏天的綠色果實，享受在這種綠葉圍繞的安全感，是不是在這個當下，我才發現原來無花果可以這樣貼膚好上手？是否在歌曲唱著「如果我們有緣再相遇，你是否還是當年的你」時，我才發現原來這樣的綠色香氣，是這樣讓人安心？現在，我很好！真的。

It’s definitely hard to make a firm answer to love. The vows we made in past days may be a joke or legend nowadays. We can probably say that there is no definite right or wrong to our lives but sometimes we will know it’s good or not after some torturous moments. We are always on the position to judge ourselves right or wrong when I meet up someone else afterward, and sometimes we may feel regretful to the specific time as we have experienced. Just like the fig performance today, I found the fascination therein which was totally different from before. It might be the reason while the song went as “if we have the chance to meet up again, will you still be same as before”. After I met Floraiku AO, I finally knew I love fig in summer. Even now, I may say, “I’m really good and ready for future.”. 

我喜歡香水用木質調來做結尾，就如同歌曲最後，以柔性平和的曲調劃上休止符一般，與其用華麗激昂的樂章去拉抬出高潮後，突然嘎然而止的驚訝，我更喜歡那種緩慢且舒爽的慢板曲調去結束一首歌的故事，香水的木質香氣，往往給人濃厚又激烈的印象，而Floraiku 的AO，最後用很輕柔的沒藥做曲調尾聲，它不厚重，也不覺得太空靈，反而讓人覺得是種屬於自己的獨特設計，後面緊接著是屬於自己的特色與表現，沒有很突兀的攻擊性，有的只有漸漸屬於自己的完美！這像是此刻淡然看著我和你的故事，然後幻化成自己的養份，結束了和你的故事，也開始著屬於自己的人生篇章。  

I am so into the woody scents being played as the base note in fragrances as I enjoy the soft and smooth tunes at the end of the music. Comparing to the aroused tunes, the soft and peaceful performance can help me to ease the tense and grant me a kind of safety. In Floraiku AO scents, the myrrh came to my olfaction in a peaceful manner. It would neither make you be weird in summer nor change too light as nothing you wear on. It’s not like a lovely rest in the music but also as the key to open new chapter of your destiny. You  will never find the scents away from this perfume since it has already broadened another world to you. As me, you have left and the story about us is ended but my story about myself is just started.
