The fragrance that you will smell, you will never be able to smell this way again.
一會你們將聞到一款香水，它會帶給你們絕無僅有的體驗。
It's a fragrance called Beyond Paradise, which you can find in any store in the nation.
這款香水叫做“霓采天堂”，在全國各大商場都能買到。
Except here it's been split up in parts by Estée Lauder and by the perfumer who did it, Calice Becker,
但是今天在這里香水被分解成幾部分，這項工作是由雅詩蘭黛公司和香水調配者凱莉斯·貝克爾完成的，
and I'm most grateful to them for this. And it's been split up in successive bits and a chord.
我十分感謝他們。香水被分解成連續(xù)的幾個小部分和一個香水和弦。
So what you're smelling now is the top note.
現在你們聞到的是香水的“前味”。
And then will come what they call the heart, the lush heart note.
接下來是“中味”甜味香料。
I will show it to you. The Eden top note is named after the Eden Project in the U.K..
我展示給你們看“前味”伊甸清霧是根據英國的伊甸園計劃命名的。
The lush heart note, Melaleuca bark note -- which does not contain any Melaleuca bark, because it's totally forbidden.
“中味”甜味香料還有“后味”白千層樹樹皮--其中并不含白千層樹樹皮，因為那是被禁止的。
And after that, the complete fragrance.
最后就是完整的香味了。
Now what you are smelling is a combination of -- I asked how many molecules there were in there, and nobody would tell me.
現在你們聞到的是一個組合，如果我想問組合里有多少個分子，沒有人可以告訴我。
So I put it through a G.C., a Gas Chromatograph that I have in my office, and it's about 400.
于是我用我辦公室里的氣相色譜儀做了一下檢測，發(fā)現大約有400個。
So what you're smelling is several hundred molecules floating through the air, hitting your nose.
所以你們現在聞到的是幾百個分子彌漫在空氣中，鉆進你的鼻子里。
And do not get the impression that this is very subjective.
不要覺得氣味是十分主觀的。
You are all smelling pretty much the same thing, OK?
你們聞到的差不多都是一樣的。
Smell has this reputation of being somewhat different for each person.
人們總是認為同一種氣味對不同的人來說是不一樣的。
It's not really true. And perfumery shows you that can't be true, because if it were like that it wouldn't be an art, OK?
這個想法并不正確。一款香水就會證明的確不是這樣的，因為那樣的話制造香水就不算一門藝術了。
