Shopping for Perfumes Online

 

The world is changing in some big ways and technology is changing the way we live each and every day. This is easy to see in the way we shop. In the past, the only option was to head out, browse the stores, and find the products we want in person.

Now, with the power of the internet, it’s never been easier to simply sit back in the comfort of your own living room, or even on your phone while you’re out and about or taking a break from work, and browse countless sites and online stores.

You can shop for almost anything online, including clothing, jewelry, make-up, and more. Shopping for perfume online is totally possible too, and many people shy away from this as they worry about not being able to smell the perfume beforehand.

However, there are some clear and big advantages to shopping for perfume online:

It’s a lot easier to browse the different perfumes and find the right product for you when compared to walking around a busy store.
Ordering online is a great way to great free samples of other perfumes to try out without paying a penny.
You’ll save money by shopping around and checking out different sites and online stores.
You don’t have to worry about being crowded out by other shoppers or being hassled by sales assistants.
Plus, as this article from Marie Claire points out, actually trying to smell a perfume in a store is more or less impossible anyway because there are hundreds of perfumes and other fragrant products all around you.

Choosing the Right Perfume Online

So now we’ve seen that shopping for perfume online actually has a whole lot of great advantages, how do you actually go about it? Well, let’s take a look at all you need to know:

Know Your Types – Perfume comes in four different forms: perfume/parfum, eau de parfum, eau de toilette, and eau de cologne. The former is the most expensive, while the latter is the cheapest. The former also lasts the longest, while the latter wears off after a couple of hours. In general, eau de parfum offers a nice balance between price and duration.
Know Your Notes – Perfumes are made up of ‘notes’, which is just a word used to describe the various individual scents you can find in each perfume. Some will be fruity and fresh, best-suited for outdoor adventures on summer days, while others are classed as ‘Oriental’, and better-suited for sensual moments and elegant evenings out.
Do Your Research – Just like with anything in life, especially when shopping online, doing your research is a big factor that can help you make the right decisions. Reading up on different types of perfume, checking out reviews, reading through lists, and doing lots of research is the best way to find the best perfume for women online.

    Great summary of the information about online perfume shopping. It is also very helpful for me to be able to purchase a bundle of a sample set online and test out all the different scents before spending on a particular bottle, whereas in stores I don’t find such opportunities.
