5 Important Considerations For Every Perfume Shopper



In life, you often pick up a few tricks and best practices when it comes to making smart purchasing decisions. Whether it’s buying more long-term and durable items or choosing things that you ‘actually’ like, not just what is in fashion. And it’s no different in the world of perfume.

We’ve got some top tips and strategies for choosing the right luxury or discount perfume and cosmetics the next time you’re out shopping for your next fragrance.

Don’t Just Use Your Wrist To Test Perfumes

We all do this, but why? The main reason is it’s an area of your skin that can be easily used to test out a new scent and is an optimal area of your body for olfactory projection, but often, items of jewellery on your wrist can alter the way the fragrance smells – as well as perspiration. Also, spraying perfume on the top of your arms is often a better approach as it lets the scent mature over the course of a day (simply roll down your sleeves).

Wait For Your Test Sample Card To Dry First

Test paper, also known as blotting paper, is a good way to test multiple perfumes, but make sure they are dry before you test out the smell. If you don’t, you won’t actually get a proper sense of the fragrance that you are buying. Also, make sure you label them before you take them home.

Don’t Overwhelm Your Senses

Ironically, perfume shops are the worst place to test perfumes. They’re often overpowering with different scents and when you’re in the shop trying different discount perfumes, one after the other, your senses will often become overwhelmed. Try taking some samples and testing them out in normal settings like your home.

Don’t Follow The Descriptions Alone

Product descriptions are usually very abstract from the actual smell and focus on detailing the ingredients. They are also primarily promotional messages designed to entice buyers in, so don’t rely on these descriptions alone and trust your nose!

Fragrances Change When You’re Wearing Different Products

Fragrances can smell differently depending on what other products you might be wearing, such as moisturiser or shampoo. Try to test out your perfumes with this in mind in case you end up changing up your cosmetics and beauty routine and you find out your fragrance was not what you thought it was.

How Do We Cut Our Prices So Much At Perfume Plus Direct?

What would you do without us at Perfume Plus Direct? In short, you’d buy the same perfumes and fragrances that you have always bought in the high street or your local shopping centre and simply pay a lot more than you need to. This may be a silly question, but why would you pay, say, £40 for something if you could actually also buy it for perhaps £25? It really doesn’t make sense, does it? And yet, so many people do exactly that. They get in the car and drive out of town to the shopping centre – which is actually likely to be a bit cheaper than the high street – and find somewhere to park. Then they walk around all the stores   - naming no names – to find the perfume they want at the cheapest price, which is stocked by many retailers, and eventually find the cheapest after spending an hour or so on the project, and buy that one. Then they go back to the car park, get in the car, and drive back home feeling really happy that they saved some money. And so the...
