Instructions

Step 1

Check out your magazines; you may have some samples that you like in there. If you do, rub it on your wrist. How does it smell on you?
Step 2

Let’s go give your nose a work out. You wanna keep a few coffee beans in your pocket in a baggy to clear your nose of the scents, so you can make a decision solely based on that scent not lots of scents.
Step 3

If you found a sample that you like at home, go to the counter of that company.
Step 4

Make sure you know why you like it, Is it because it is light or because it is dark? Or because it fits your budget?
Step 5

Always go for the small bottles, wear it for a week and see how you like it on your body and how you move. Then switch to the other one and do the same.
Step 6

You have probably found that you like one over the other. Go back and get the big bottle and enjoy!

Tips & Warnings

Some perfumes are for times of day, be aware of that. Usually if the words “after dark” are in the name, it is usually a night scent.
Spray perfume as soon as you get outta the shower on your chest, then on the back of your knees. It will stay with you all day and not be overpowering.
Make sure you know what you are allergic too. It could be in your perfume and making your sinuses go wild.
