Why Give The Gift Of Perfume - How Do You Choose?

By Sandy Lindberg

It is safe to say that most women love to receive gifts of jewelry and perfume. These items are personal and each make a statement about the woman wearing them. Perfume is like a signature…something a woman wears that portrays her personality. Designer perfume is a great gift to someone you care about. These top brands of fragrances will keep their scent for many hours of pleasure. Designer perfumes are worth the investment because of their unique and beautiful blends. Keep in mind that many fragrances are also offered in body lotions, shower gels, gift sets, soaps, body powders, mini bottles for travel, and other gift items.

Each designer brand of perfume gives a brief description of each of their fragrances. From this description you can decide which scent fits the recipient of your gift the best. When checking out perfumes at retail outlets, knowledgeable professionals should ask you questions about the gift recipient to help you decide a specific fragrance. Check out their prices and then check the Internet for the best price!

By actually testing the fragrance, you can use your personal taste of the aroma. However, keep in mind that each person’s skin takes on a slightly different scent from each fragrance. Don’t worry yourself about making the wrong choice. Most times the recipient appreciates the fact that you took the time to choose a perfume that you thought would be appropriate. The areas below will give you something to think about when reviewing the various designer perfumes when making your choice:

Personality

Many fragrances imply a fragrance of being flirty, playful, or romantic. Can you describe the gift recipient and match it to a perfume?

Ingredient Blends 

The fragrance descriptions tell you about the blends of each fragrance. Some of these blends include: oriental, sharp, aquatic, various spices, coconut, peach and other fruits, orchids and floral of many kinds, different woods, leaves and twigs, oils to only name a few. What blend does your recipient prefer?

Day or Evening Wear Perfume descriptions usually tell you if the fragrance is designed for daytime, evening, casual, office wear, versatile, and maybe for romance.

Color of your Hair

Brunettes: usually have medium to dark skin which contains natural oils, allowing scents to last longer. Dramatic orientals are often favorites.

Blondes: usually have fair skin and will do well with long-lasting multi-floral fragrances. Their skin is often dry causing fragrances that are too subtle to evaporate rapidly.

Redheads: have extremely fair and delicate skin that may be incompatible with fragrances which have predominant green notes.
