We all can get confused with which perfume should one invest in, as there are so many of them in the market. Besides using coffee beans, you can carry samples home if you need some time. Read on to know more of these quick tips:

1.The time of day matters a lot when you are buying a fragrance. We recommend the afternoon time when your sense of smell is the strongest. And when you do go, skip wearing any fragrance, so that it does not confuse your nose.

2.Research is the key before shopping time, so that you have a clearer picture of what you want and like. So, look up the net, read on the notes you would like in your fragrance, do all the homework possible, and then go on a perfume hunt.

3.Coffee beans are your saviour for sure!Sniffing those beans in between perfume samples helps cleanse your nasal palette.

4.Smell the blotters. It is okay to do so as that is their function! But, if you love a fragrance, try it on your skin before purchasing. Also, limit the number of perfumes you spritz on your body to two or three.

5.Spray or apply the fragrance on your pulse points. The heat from this point of your body helps to develop the fragrance. Let the fragrances develop for 30 minutes on your skin, so you can smell all levels of the fragrance—top note, heart of the fragrance, and dry-down.

6.Take home samples of your choice. Ofcourse don't go bonkers with the number of samples, reason being you will confuse yourself with what you really loved. Wear each one on alternating days until there’s a clear favourite.
