How to Sample and Select Scents
The most difficult part of finding your signature perfume is sampling. With so many options, narrowing it down can be overwhelming!
Here are tips for strategically sampling scents:
- Visit department stores and get test strips of promising fragrances.
- Ask for samples of those you love to wear for a few days.
- If available, request mini vials of the full perfume to get the true experience.
- Research top rated perfumes online in categories that appeal to you.
- Learn your fragrance family preferences – florals, fruity, oriental, etc. This allows salespeople to pull tailored options.
- Keep an open mind and try scents outside your usual – you may be surprised!
- Don’t over-sample in one day – nose fatigue sets in. Try a maximum of 4-5.
Finally, when selecting a bottle, consider if the first spray appeals to you and aligns with your personality. Let the perfume fully develop on skin before deciding. With so many amazing options today, you’re sure to find the perfect signature scent!
Caring for and Storing Your Collection
Once you’ve amassed your dream perfume collection, be sure to care for them properly so they maintain quality. Here are some tips:
- Store away from heat, humidity or direct light which can deteriorate the juice. A dressing table or armoire are ideal.
- Keep perfumes in their boxes with lids closed to prevent oxidation and evaporation.
- Don’t leave in the bathroom where humidity is high – this speeds alcohol evaporation.
- Apply onto clean, dry skin – moisturizer can distort the fragrance.
- Spray onto pulse points where blood warmth diffuses the scent. Don’t over-apply.
- To revive an older perfume, spray onto fabric like scarves or shirt collars which retain notes.
- Know manufacturer expiration dates and toss perfumes that smell off. Average shelf life is 1-3 years.
Protect your precious perfumes and they’ll continue elevating your everyday for years to come!
