How Do I Purchase Perfume?
There are several factors to consider when buying yourself perfume. Perhaps the most important one is how the scent makes you feel. If you find a perfume you really love, find occasions to wear it to make yourself happy. Does this Spark an idea?
-
Age
-
Pick an age-appropriate scent. Britney Spears's Curious perfume is marketed to teens for a reason: It's formulated for girls aged 13 to 19. A lady in her 30s should reach for a sophisticated brand like Chanel No. 5.
Occasion
-
If you want a scent that's good for everyday wear, go for something light, like Estee Lauder's Pleasures. A woman who wants to feel sexy on a special date should buy a seductive scent like Dior's J'adore.
-
Body Chemistry
-
Scents can smell completely different on two people because body chemistry affects how it smells as body heat diffuses it. Ask for a sample so you can see how a perfume reacts on you---it might smell very differently than it does coming right out of the bottle.
Personality
-
Perfume is a reflection of your personality and lifestyle, so look for a brand that mirrors your tastes. If you are adventuresome and bold, pick Dior Addict, whereas Stella by Stella McCartney suits women who love fashion and the latest trends.
