Boss Pure 澄勁的有趣酸評 - 香水

http://0rz.tw/464mr

這是前陣子Boss Pure剛上市的時候，在國外香評大站Now Smell This跑出來的

評論。原本我在找適合夏天的清爽香水，誤打誤撞看到這支新品評論，因此按進

去看看。不看還好，一看笑得要命。XD 上面連結是原文，以下跟大家節錄分享


那小弟我就獻醜翻譯一下....XD 以下完整版

Recently, I was worried I had run out of ways to review mediocre,
smell-alike mainstream men’s fragrances. Should I continue to tax my
imagination and keep thumbing through Roget’s Thesaurus for new ways
to say a fragrance is “dull,” “insipid,” “typical,” etc., or should
I simply ignore boring new releases?

最近我很擔心我擠不出新意來評論這些既普通、聞起來又通通都很像的"主流"男香。
我應該要繼續預支我的想像力，以及不停的用Thesaurus(同義辭典)，來尋找新意形
容一支新香"愚蠢"、"無趣"、"老梗"等等？啊不然就通通略過好了？

I jokingly said to Robin here at Now Smell This that we should create a
‘review form’ for such scents; it would make reviewing so much easier.
Of course, a perfume blog can’t ignore new releases and I can’t use a
review form over and over again without becoming a bore myself, but just
this once...

最近我打趣的跟Robin(本香評站另個寫手)說，我們應該幫Now Smell This寫一個
香評懶人包格式，這樣評起來超快超方便。這樣也對嘛，一個香評blog怎麼可以忽
略新香呢？(按:明明就有一大堆香水你們沒評啊)不過一直用格式在寫一定會讓我
變成一個無聊的傢伙，不過就這次讓我寫看看...




Mainstream Fragrance Review Form/Category: Men’s “Fresh”/Sport
主流香評格式：男士清新及運動款

The Givens:
前提:

— Artificial-smelling ingredients
人工甘味料(大誤)。
— The perfume develops rapidly; excellent lasting power/annoying sillage
香味變化很快，超持久/走過必定留下夭壽的香跡。
— Contains persistent marine and/or ozonic “fresh” fragrance notes
必有海洋調和/或活氧般清新調。
— Metallic citrus opening; slightly “spicy”, mildly “floral” middle;
and woody dry down; all fragrance notes are “generic,” “nondescript”
相當尖銳的柑橘前味；稍有辛辣，帶有花香的中味；然後後味木質調；
所有的香材都很普通或者無趣。


The Specifics (fill in parentheses):
規格表(括號部分分香填入)

Fragrance Name: (HUGO BOSS PURE), released in (2008) and
created by (P&G FRAGRANCE SCIENTIST WILL ANDREWS & IFF).
Contains (FIG WATER, CITRUS, LILY, HYACYNTH, MASSOIA
WOOD). This is a (FRESH MARINE-SPORTY) men’s fragrance. This
cologne reminds me of (TOO MANY TO MENTION).

(按: 以上應該不用翻譯吧？XD)

Optional: Advertising/Packaging Comment
選填: 廣告及包裝意見

MARINE-SPORT fragrances usually have BLUE JUICE or come
packaged in BLUE BOTTLES — to represent “water”; ads often
incorporate a half-naked male model engaged in a SPORTING
ACTIVITY. HUGO BOSS PURE does not stray from this tried(tired)-
and-true formula: BLUE JUICE/MODEL SWIMMING/DIVING.

海洋運動香水總是藍色的，或者是藍色罐裝—當然啦這是要傳達水的意相嘛。
廣告總會有一個半裸的男模特兒，做運動。澄勁完全遵守這個屢試不爽/老梗不
已的公式：藍色香水/模特兒 游泳/潛水


“Chestnut” Corner/Choose One (rephrase creatively if possible):
抨擊專區/以下選一個(可能的話，請有創意地重組一下句子)

“I’m tired of marine/water notes in men’s fragrances.”
“As we all know, ozonic notes have been overused and, to me, smell dated….”
“Don’t we have enough ‘fresh’ colognes for men on the market?”
“If I have to review another fragrance like this I’m going to #$%*-ing
shoot myself!”

(按：這部分應該也不用翻吧？XD)
