What kind of aromatherapy does the Venetian Macao use? That kind of fragrance is very special, light, not pungent and very fragrant. I want to use it at home.

Pan Liang, a special correspondent of Global Times in Italy, was deeply impressed by the dense waterways, ornate gondolas and the sweet shouts of boatmen wearing striped shirts echoing on the water. However, the canal transpiration mixed with fresh water and seawater pervades the water city all the year round, but it leaves a salty memory from the sense of smell. Perhaps to resist this sticky musty smell,/kloc-At the beginning of the 6th century, with the discovery of ancient perfume formulas, Venetians began to study perfume manufacturing and became the world perfume center before France. Today, the "Merchant of Venice" perfume shop in Canareggio, the city center, still uses the traditional formula to put secret fragrance into beautiful glass bottles. As long as you walk around the store, you can make people vaguely linger.

The Merchant of Venice perfume shop used to be a drugstore. It is no exaggeration to say that entering here is 300 years back in time: carved solid wood dado and medicine cabinet, exquisite and realistic marble portrait and shimmering blue-and-white porcelain medicine jar have not changed since 170 1 year. When Chanel 192 1 year selected the classic perfume formula No.5 in Grass, France, the Venice merchant perfume formula had a history of 3 10 years. The perfume sold here is made according to the ancient formula of 16 12. Pick up a bottle casually, which contains the same heavy history and fragrance.

The owner told the Global Times reporter that the unique geographical location enabled the Venetian fleet to transport back all kinds of precious spices, essences and balsams from Greece, Egypt, Persia and other Asian countries since the Middle Ages. In the early Renaissance, soap makers and perfumers combined the latest technology to make Venice perfume with the world spices gathered here, which became the darling of European royal families. A historical file from 65438 to 0555 shows that Venice officials once listed more than 300 kinds of formulas as "secrets of noble perfume art". 1600 years later, the European royal family, especially the French royal family, began to ask Venetian perfumers to prepare their own perfumes. Princess Catherine de Medici of Italy was accompanied by a famous perfumer when she married King Henry II of France. Therefore, Princess Medici is regarded by French industry as the emissary of spreading perfume technology to France. Nowadays, in order to regain and revitalize the tradition of Venice perfume industry, Vidal, a century-old family, has launched the brand perfume of "Merchant of Venice", hoping that their perfume can send the taste of Venice to all parts of the world like the merchant ships of that year.

In addition to the charming fragrance, the beauty of all kinds of perfume bottles used to hold perfume is even more amazing (pictured). Among them, the "Museum Series" perfume bottle is made of the famous Murano red glass and added with gold according to the secret recipe. Because glass not only has the stability of perfume that does not deteriorate, but also has the non-volatile air tightness, the transparency of the contents can be seen at a glance from the outside. 19th century became the era of glass perfume bottles. Murano Island, which is 0/.6 km away from Venice/Kloc-0, is a world-famous glass manufacturing center. The mosaic glass, lace glass and Milu Flo glass here have always been unmatched by other glass producing areas. Every perfume of Venetian merchants is packed in a unique Murano glass bottle. Perfume and dazzling Murano glass bottles have created an extraordinary work of art. From March to September this year, the Palace Museum in Mochinego held a "Dialogue between Perfume and Glass": 12 Murano glass masters and 12 fashion designers created 12 pieces of glass treasures, and then the Venetian merchant perfumer prepared 12 pieces.

In 20 13, the first "perfume museum" in Italy was established in Mochinigo Palace. With more than 2,500 medieval books, containers and other collections, the Perfume Museum aims to become the first museum in Italy in this field and compete with the Glass Perfume Museum. The museum wants people to smell and feel perfume with their heart. "It's like a blind man going to Ai without Corida mentally. You tell him' blue' and he will see blue in his heart. " At the "smell station" in the museum, visitors can learn to distinguish spices such as cinnamon, musk, sandalwood, violet, bergamot and Damascus rose by smell. For those who want to make personalized perfume, the museum also organizes perfume making courses. Visitors can make a pack of perfume provided by the museum, prepare their own perfume, and then go to the Murano Glass Crafts Store to buy a beautiful Murano glass bottle. ▲
