One’s perfume is a sort of a signature. It is a unique feature that every one of us has. That is why the fragrance we wear tells a lot about us, about our personality, life, the things we love and the ones we stay away from. Therefore, we can reasonably conclude that choosing and buying perfume is in no way an easy task. It can take hours to go into a number of stores and test dozens of different scents until you start to feel like every perfume smell the same. That is why shopping online for perfume may be a better option. Here is how to pick out and buy your perfume online.
Know what perfume notes are
This is the ultimate starting point for choosing your perfume. Whether you are buying a gift for a loved one or if you have come across a lovely discount perfume online, you should still know about the notes that every perfume is made off. Notes actually determine the overall scent and they consist of the base, top, and middle notes. The notes work together to create a one-of-a-kind scent, as two perfumes can have the same note, such as vanilla, but they will be different if one has vanilla as a top, and other as its middle note. Moreover, there are many kinds of notes. Floral perfumes can have a rosy note, fruity ones a lemon note. On the other hand, deep, musky and oriental fragrances can have a pine note of vanilla and sandalwood as its primary notes.
Know which notes you prefer
As you are buying online, you can determine what sort of notes you or the person you are buying the perfume for will enjoy, based on the previous experiences. If you have mostly worn floral fragrances, you will probably not like a woodsy perfume and vice versa. Finally, if you are still unsure about what kind of perfume you want, you can always try doing a quiz that will tell you which scents match you based on your personality and your lifestyle.
Read the descriptions
The descriptions and the name of the perfume can indeed tell a lot about that perfume and that is a truly good way of finding out whether that scent really suits you. For instance, the Valentino Donna Rosa Verde is a fresh and green scent that may be perfect for spring and someone who likes that their perfume radiates strong but refreshing notes. On the other hand, My Burberry Black is a deep and sensual scent, which has amber and patchouli as one of its notes and is ideal for a woman who loves feminine, but striking scents.
Know what fragrance does your favorite celebrity wear
This may be the most fun way of deciding on which perfume to shop for. However, it does not mean that a scent one of the celebrities you love enjoys wearing will not be the ideal one for you as well. For instance, you could be thrilled with the Armani Acqua di Gioia that the beautiful top model Gigi Hadid loves to wear. If you are a fan of the charming actress Emma Stone, you may want to try the Chanel Gardenia, which she mentioned a while ago as a perfume she likes to bring with her when traveling.
Look for discounts and testers
After you have done your research and you have chosen which perfume or perfumes you would like to have, it is time to do some online shopping. We all know that perfumes can be quite expensive and you may not want to spend a significant amount of money on a fragrance that you are not completely sure you will like. To avoid this, it is best to look for perfume-selling websites that offer amazing discounts, so that you do not feel guilty for spending too much money on a fragrance. In addition, you should know that many reputable online stores offer a variety of discount top-notch perfumes for half of the original price. So, if you already have your eye on a specific scent, shop it while it is on offer. Another extremely affordable way to buy perfume is perfume testers. You will get the same quality, but for a much lower price point.
Finally, once your purchase is completed and the little bottle of that amazing perfume you have opted for arrives, don’t hesitate to have a spritz or two and fully grasp all the beautiful notes that are hidden inside.
