Selecling the Best Perfume for Women

Perfume is now a fashion statement. Just like a fashionable handbag or nice
shoos it gives your look a touch of extra elegance. But there are so many womens
perfumes, how to select the right one? Discover different types of fragrances
and the way to find the best perfume for you.

Even though there are hundreds of different perfumes on sale, all of them
can be divided into several major categories:

• floral


• fresh


• woody


• oriental


• fougere

When do you plan to wear your perfume - everyday or for special occasion?

When selecting a perfume its very important to know where you are going to
wear it. Not every fragrance can be worn at work. For daytime its best to go
for fresh or light floral scents. Many companies have a "no perfume"
in their dress code all together. Never stopped me, from wearing one. A fresh
scent applied moderately should be all right. Most retailers mention in the
description whether a particular product is for day or evening wear.

For a romantic evening or a party, you can choose a completely different scent.
Luxurious floral fragrances are just as suitable for the evening as they are
for the day, and you can also wear something rich with woody or oriental notes.

Trying perfumes - testers and free samples

You, probably already have a good idea what kind of fragrance you are looking
for. But you still shouldnt buy perfume relying only on its description. Trying
it yourself is the best way to select a scent that is the best for you. You
can do it in any department store or perfume shop - they always have testers.

Just sniffing the tester bottle wont give you the real idea of the scent,
its best to spray perfume on a little tester paper that the shops provide.
Keep the paper with the fragrance and smell it in a few hours again. Most quality
perfumes change their scent as you wear them, the scent might be quite different
from the original.

Another great way to test perfumes is to ask for samples. Most department
stores have free perfume samples and if they see, that you are interested in
buying something, they will happily give you a couple of samples. Another way
to get samples of perfume is online, there are many websites that will send
you a free sample of perfumes hoping that you will buy from them later.

Finding discount perfumes online

An expensive department store is a good place to try and choose your perfumes,
but is it the best place to buy? Its certainly not, because being a smart shopper
you can find the very same brands of designers perfumes much cheaper in specialized
discount perfume shops and online.

Getting fragrances online is actually the easiest way to find cheap perfumes.
Big online shops keep their prices significantly lower than department stores.
They sell hundreds of perfume bottles a day and dont have to pay rent and stuff
salaries, so online shops simply have less expenses and they pass the savings
to you.

The quality of your perfume will be just the same as you would buy it directly
from Lancome of Ester Lauder counter. But you have to make sure that the online
shop you choose sells genuine designers brands. Some of them specialized in
selling knockoffs - replicas of famous designers perfumes. They say that it
smells the same, but it doesnt, not after you wear it for a couple hours.

Carefully chosen perfume can be a great accessory. Surely its expensive,
but for all the hard work a modern women do, we deserve a little treat, wouldnt
you agree?
