Perfume Shopping Tips

Here are a few tricks that will make your perfume buying experience a successful one:

• Do you ever wonder why there are coffee beans on perfume counters? Sniffing coffee beans between perfume samples can help clear and reset you sense of smell. Sniff the beans, wait a couple of minutes and then on to your next fragrance.


• Try perfume samples in the late afternoon. The power of smell is stronger during that time of day.


• If you are concerned about allergic reactions, try out a perfume and leave it on for at least a couple of hours. Sometimes, allergic reactions can occur on the skin. Other times, you could get a headache as the notes blossom and certain ingredients become alive. No reaction is good news – you can enjoy the perfume without any adverse reactions.


• When sampling perfume, try no more than two fragrances at a time – one on each arm. Too many fragrances at once can be overwhelming and you may suffer from olfactory fatigue.


• When testing a perfume, spray on your wrists and experience the scent with your body warmth and chemistry. Also leave it on for at least 5 to 10 minutes so you can find out how the perfume changes as the top notes wear off and the middle notes are revealed. Learn more about perfume notes or ingredients to understand why a fragrance changes on you over time.
