Finding a Perfume Shop

You’ve decided to get perfume or cologne as a gift for a friend or loved one, but you aren’t quite sure how or where to shop. Going to a perfume shop can be a little overwhelming, so here are some tips for making sure you select the right fragrances, as well as some recommendations for stores to visit.

One of the first places you’ll want to check for perfumes are the discount stores you probably visit often. Places like Kmart, Wal-Mart, and Target have designer fragrances similar to the ones you’ll find at high-end department stores, and you’ll almost always save money when you shop at the discount stores. Fragrances from designers like Davidoff, Calvin Klein, Vera Wang, and Alfred Sung are featured at most of these stores, so you’re sure to find just the scent you’re looking for.

If you go to a perfume shop that only sells fragrances and are testing some scents out, you’ll probably get a little bit of a headache if you try to smell more than one fragrance back to back. The sales attendant may have a small dish of coffee beans at the perfume counter for you to sniff; this will help to get rid of the smell of one fragrance and prepare your nose to smell something new. In case there isn’t one of these at the perfume shop, you can carry a small sack made of cheesecloth filled with dry coffee beans to restore your palette while shopping.

To get the most for your money, you may want to purchase a gift set from the perfume shop. This usually includes the fragrance of choice, along with a shower gel, body lotion, or body powder. Using all the products in the gift set makes the fragrance last longer and the person you’re buying the gift for will most likely not have to go shopping for a new fragrance for a few months. The gift set can also make the fragrance linger without being too overwhelming; using perfume or cologne alone in excess can be offensive.

When you’re at the perfume shop and you’re trying out fragrances for yourself, pay special attention to how you feel when you smell each perfume or cologne. Does the fragrance ‘jump out at you’ or make a statement? Does it suddenly put you in a better mood? If so, it just may be the one for you. But, instead of purchasing it right away, ask the sales associate for samples that you can try for a few days to determine if the fragrance is a match with your body chemistry.
