Buying Guide

Before choosing a perfume discover your personal taste. Find the common scents you love like lemons, rain storms, and so on.

Once you know what you like, get some samples or try out scents at the fragrance counter of department stores.

Spray a small amount on your wrist and smell it after 10 minutes to see how the scent changed. Don't purchase a fragrance before you see how it changes over time.
