REVIEW: Open House Workshop: Solid Perfume น้ำหอมแห้ง ฉบับพกพา REVIEW: Open House Workshop: Solid Perfume - Portable Dry Fragrance

After a period of idleness, where I found myself aimlessly watching TV, listening to music, and browsing the internet, I decided to seek a more meaningful pursuit. Investing in the stock market seemed financially out of reach, playing the lottery lacked any promising numbers, and venturing out felt less appealing than staying home and spending time with my parents.

After browsing the internet for a while, I came across this page: Modern Essential Oils. It seemed like a good fit for a delicate and beautiful woman like me. (I'm embarrassed to say that.) I clicked around and found out that it's located at Open House Central Embassy, which isn't too far away. I'll just hop on my motorbike and be there in a flash.

Following this realization, she immediately contacted them. On Sunday, the 13th, she joined them at the Open House, sitting in front of the keyboard. It's easy to find; it's on the 6th floor of Central Embassy. Just walk straight to the end of the hallway. We were hiding behind the bookshelf in the corner.

The walk to class was a sensory overload of delicious smells from all the restaurants.

A dedicated space for children's DIY activities, offering a rotating schedule of engaging projects each week. This vibrant corner also boasts a selection of toys that encourage climbing and imaginative play.

Upon arrival, Professor Pan or Professor Sukcharaya (apologies if the name is misspelled, as it is in English on the business card) and the teaching assistant had already prepared all the equipment and materials. After completing the registration, the class began immediately.

Professor Pan explains the properties of various raw materials used to make solid perfumes, also known as portable dry perfumes. She also provides detailed recommendations on where to purchase these materials and equipment.

• Application is direct, allowing for a more controlled and personal fragrance experience.
• The scent is subtle and clean, making it suitable for everyday use.
• Solid perfume offers convenient portability and avoids the potential for fragrance diffusion.

Additional Notes:

• The passage uses informal language and colloquialisms, which are not appropriate for academic writing.
• The tone is conversational and lacks the objectivity required for academic discourse.
• The claims about solid perfume's benefits are not supported by evidence or critical analysis.

Revised Passage:

Solid perfume, a fragrant alternative to traditional liquid perfumes, offers several advantages. Unlike its liquid counterpart, solid perfume is alcohol-free and resembles a cream or balm in consistency. This unique form allows for direct application to the skin, providing a more controlled and personal fragrance experience. The scent is subtle and clean, making it suitable for everyday use. Additionally, solid perfume's portability and lack of fragrance diffusion make it a convenient choice for those who prefer a more discreet fragrance experience.

The reason for applying perfume to pulse points is because these areas have a high concentration of blood flow, similar to the rhythm of the heartbeat. When perfume is applied to these points, the fragrance is absorbed more effectively and gradually released over time, following the rhythm of the heartbeat. Additionally, for women, applying perfume to the cleavage area is recommended as it absorbs fragrance better than other areas.

Types of Perfume Oils

First and foremost, it is crucial to understand and utilize each ingredient effectively.

Start by testing the scent and mixing it to create a unique, personalized fragrance.

Mix different scents in precise and defined proportions to achieve the desired aroma.

Select the type of beeswax based on the desired properties.

Cut into small pieces for easy melting.

Weigh according to the formula provided by the instructor.

Mix the obtained beeswax with natural oil.

Melt in the microwave, but be careful not to use high heat or for too long, as this will damage the properties of the beeswax and oil.

Remove from the microwave and measure the temperature to ensure it is at the appropriate level.

The perfumery essence is then added to the mixture. As soon as the essence is introduced, the beeswax and oil begin to solidify, necessitating a swift and precise procedure.

Pour into the desired container. Wait for our dry perfume to set completely before taking it home.

Each person took home two scents, two formulas, three or four cartridges.

As you can see, making your own dry perfume not only gives you peace of mind about the product because you have personally selected and graded all of the raw materials, but it also allows you to create a unique fragrance that no one else can imitate. This means that wherever you go, people will recognize your scent and know it's you. Additionally, dry perfume can be stored for a long time, up to two years, at temperatures below 30 degrees Celsius.

Take a picture of your work and show it off to your friends.

In addition to dry, portable perfumes, the workshop also teaches how to make other fragrant products, such as soaps, lip balms, and massage oils.

Next week's training program is quite interesting. Making your own lip balm is not only practical but also stylish.
