Tips For Buying Perfumes

The fragrance industry does the bulk of its business around Christmas

, mainly because that is one of the few times a year than unwilling shoppers are forced down the perfume aisles of department stores around the world in an attempt to somehow find the right fragrance gift for a loved one. Even people who love perfume and can nose their way around a perfume department blindfolded can feel your pain. Buying perfume is not easy and there are actually several factors you don't even know yet that are conspiring to make it even more difficult.

Perfume seems very complicated.

That's why I, like other denizens of the perfume world, can help you make a good choice. Here are some rules that might help you in shopping perfumes.

- Perfume is not cheap. If you hoped it would be cheap, wanted it to be cheap, need it to be cheap, or just would feel more comfortable if it were cheap, get over it. Perfume has not gone on sale in the last eighteen centuries.

- While perfume may not be cheap, you may find yourself being wooed a bit by eager perfume merchants with package "deals." They will take several of their products, put them together in a festive holiday box and knock a little off the price of the individual items and assure you it's the deal of the season. Don't laugh, it is.

- Perfume is an amazing industry, and if you don't know anything about it, you will be amazed to the point of asphyxia to learn that there are literally of hundreds, if not thousands, of fragrance products in even an ordinary shopping mall.

Not to smell the perfume out of the bottle. Of course, you can't help that. You will break this rule. But please do not think that the way a perfume smells straight out of the bottle is anything like the way it will smell after a while on your skin. Here's why: perfume manufacturers Work hard at creating what perfume insiders call the "top notes." These are the first few molecules that come buzzing out of the bottle whenever a human approaches and they practically scream, "Smell me! Smell me!" They can be zippy, flowery, enchanting, dreamy, light, or all of those other things, but one thing is certain. They are short-lived. Top notes die out in about one to four minutes, which, coincidentally is about the time you can survive cardiac arrest.

The real body of the fragrance emerges after the period known as the "dry down." The dry down is the time the perfume spends on your skin while the perfume dries and the top notes disappear. Now you've got "heart notes" and that is much more like what the perfume is going to smell like.

Online perfume stores offer a wealth of information and they facilitate comparison of prices between perfumes. If a perfume is not available in your local store, it is probably available online. The list of perfumes in some online stores like Online4Perfume is massive and these stores allow you to trawl through the site searching for a suitable romantic perfume or a good floral daytime fragrance. Online perfume stores are up-to-date too and they offer a customized service. Perfume stores like online4perfume.com for all tastes from the connoisseur in perfumes to the woman who simply wants to find a good daytime fragrance for work.
