How to Test a Perfume Properly Before You Buy?

Building the perfume collection of your dreams doesn’t have to be complicated if you understand the art of selection. If you test perfumes properly before you buy, you are bound to end up with a collection of truly beloved perfumes that you will cherish until the very last spray. Being tactical when buying fragrances can help avoid expensive mistakes; here is your short guide on how to test a perfume properly before you buy:

Avoid Nose-Blindness: When testing perfumes, your olfactory system can become fatigued, making it harder to differentiate between fragrances. Limiting testing to 3 to 4 perfumes is key to ensuring you can experience the scents in all their glory.  

Test on Your Skin: Using paper blotters is a handy way of smelling fragrances; however, perfumes can smell different when they react with the chemistry of your skin, so be sure to also test directly on your skin.

Experience Each Note: Top notes can sometimes smell quite different from base notes, so remember to smell the perfume on your skin again after a few hours to experience the dry-down before settling on an opinion.

Best Selling Perfumes Testers

Spending hard-earned money on a fragrance you hardly ever reach for can feel disheartening, so we highly advise testing before you buy. Using tester-sized perfume bottles is a great way to test fragrances before you commit to a full-sized bottle, which is why you can buy testers for any of the scents in our designer-inspired fragrance collection. Once you find something you resonate with, we can

arrange for a larger size to be sent out to you in just a few clicks.
