Perfumes Products
Wearing perfume before going out has become an indispensable
part of the daily life of many urban men and women. Nowadays,
the role of perfume has gradually developed from an accessory
with fragrance to perceptual experience in the lifestyle. Perfume
looks clear and transparent, but only through testing can we
know if it contains harmful substances, allergen, and so on. Alfa
