How To Find a Suitable Fragrance for You from an Online Perfume Store?

Some products are easy to buy online - but it’s not particularly easy to buy perfume online. However, the more familiar you are with what you like (and don’t like), the easier it is to choose a new perfume online without smelling it first.

Get familiar with perfume lingo. The vocabulary of perfume—silage, notes, accord, heady—can sometimes feel like a secret language spoken only by a handful of experts. But fragrance doesn’t have to be so complicated, especially once you learn how to understand descriptions of scents the way a Sommelier talks about wine.

When you know how to speak the secret language of perfumers, you can start to narrow your search for your next signature scent. This is especially important in today's socially distanced world that is largely buying everything online.

Is it even possible to find a new perfume you'll love and wear over the internet? Even the best online perfume stores can feel overwhelming and confusing, so where should you start?

Here’s how to discover your next signature scent, without smelling it first.

DON’T ASSUME THE MOST EXPENSIVE PERFUME IS THE BEST
Apart from price, there are other qualities that make a great perfume. Just because a perfume has an expensive price tag, doesn’t necessarily mean they are better than others. There are plenty of low to mid-range perfumes that are of great quality.

PAY ATTENTION TO THE PACKAGING
A fragrance’s packaging channels the theme and smell of the scent within it. A gold box and bottle suggest luxury and an opulent smell. Pale blue and green packages imply nature and freshness (think summer and daywear), whilst pink bottles are likely to be feminine and made up of floral notes.

DEVELOP AND IMPROVE YOUR PERFUME VOCABULARY
Get to know the descriptive words that are commonly used in relation to scent. If a smell is depicted as “intense”, “seductive” and “enveloping,” then it’s likely to be a woody or Oriental fragrance, suited for the evenings or making an impact. But, if it’s “bursts” or “sparkles” then it’s probably a feminine, floral or fruit-based scent.

KNOW WHAT YOU LIKE 
Understand what you prefer: eau de cologne, eau de toilette or eau de parfum. An eau de cologne doesn’t last for long but is great for a refreshing pick-me-up, whereas an eau de toilette is the most common type of fragrance, normally lasting for several hours. If you like stronger, longer-lasting scents you should opt for eau de parfum or parfum. Know which you prefer before clicking: “Buy”.

PERFUME REVIEWS CAN REVEAL A LOT ABOUT A PERFUME
Reading reviews of perfumes online can give you an idea of how happy others are with their purchase. If a lot of people say a perfume is “too strong” and you like lighter aromas, then it’s probably not the perfume for you. You can also search for fragrance blogs for impartial reviews.

TAKE STOCK OF YOUR EXISTING PERFUME COLLECTION.                               If you lean towards floral fragrances or woody fragrances, then it’s probably best not to stray too far from these scents. Look to the perfume you’re already wearing for inspiration when shopping for others.
