B
When an actress walked onto the film set, she had strong unpleasant smell of bourbon whiskey and cigarettes. Her character smoked and drank all the time, but the actress herself didn't smoke or drink at all; she had simply worn perfume(香水) created specifically for her by perfumer Azzi Glasser.
Glasser has also fashioned a dark blend(混合) of foxglove, poison hemlock and belladonna for Bellatrix Lestrange in the Harry Potter films, a chocolate chili-scented perfume for the Red Queen character in Alice in Wonderland and what Glasser describes as a mixture of "old, cracked soap" for the role of Miss Havisham in 2012's Great Expectations.
The perfumer believes that perfume helps to truly understand the most important part of a character. "We'll meet up to talk about the role, the styling, who the director is, who the other actors are, the space, atmosphere(氛围), where they might be filming, whether it will be cold or hot. There are many necessary parts at play. I'll then go and start testing and making slight changes until the perfume is completely perfect," said Glasser who can spend anything from a week to three months creating a custom-made perfume.
Azzi believes that each place is unique, and her heightened sense of smell can pick up even the most unnoticeable notes to help her design the perfect smell to stress guests' experience. She even created a perfume for her own home: "My kids' friends love coming to our home. They often joke that they love the way they smell when leaving."
"Having a perfume that is made especially for you, which you love and those around you enjoy and which creates a personal style and memories for years to come, is a kind of pleasure in life," Glasser said. And the results last a lifetime—the idea is that this smell will become your signature(鲜明特色) for life. "The happiness that it brings to people when they have their own custom-made perfume for life—whether you are a top Hollywood actor, a model, an artist or the girl or boy next door—is a fantastic feeling for me to live with. I feel that I am adding some sort of value to people's lives, which is one of the reasons why I love what I do and love the life I live."
