As we grow up, due to the different people we meet and hundreds of different experiences we have, we learn and change. Our personalities grow and so does the way we think. At 20 we don’t dress the same way as we did when we were 15 and when we’re 30 we may look back at our 20 year old selves and laugh because we used to be so immature. So as we grow and our lives and looks change, we may also be looking for a change when it comes to our perfumes. Perfumes and different scents can highly affect the way you’re feeling or how someone else feels when they’re around you so it only makes sense, to change up your scent as you enter a new phase of life. But perfume shopping isn’t as easy as it seems. You might purchase an expensive bottle of perfume that you tried on in the store and loved but after just one week, you may already be sick of it and be upset about what a waste of money that was, because most stores don’t allow you to go and return a used bottle of perfume. So here are some tips to help you make the best choice right away.  

Think about what you already like

If you already like certain body lotions or good soy candles that have a certain scent, take note of that. You can look at the ingredients list or even google the item to find out what notes are present in them. Are they floral? Fruity? Or maybe even woody. Knowing this will make it easier, not only for you but also the sales person who is helping you find a scent. If you prefer floral scents, you can straightway ask them to show you floral perfumes to test out.

Try samples

If you are someone who very easily gets sick of christmas fragrances, you can try requesting for samples of certain perfumes you wish to try. Most perfume shops already offer this option. That way, you can wear and give the fragrance a good test run for at least a week, wearing it in different climate conditions and if you still love it, then it is the perfect match for you and you can purchase the full size.

Try perfumes in the morning and do not try too many

It is recommended that you try perfumes in the morning to find one that you like the best because if you try them later in the day, your sense of smell may be affected by all of the different scents you experience during that day and so your sense will not be accurate. Also, do not try more than three scents a day as your body will not be able to process any more scents at the same time.
