Choosing a signature scent can be difficult. Yet with spring in session, now is the perfect time to play with fun florals and find your signature scent. With so many options, brands, and scents, buying a perfume can be stressful. However here are three tips when choosing a perfume.
- Have a list in mind, that way you are not smelling every single bottle and confusing your nose.
- Try the scent on your wrist. Each perfume interacts differently with every body chemistry.
- Lastly, walk around for an hour and see if you still like the scent or if it long-lasting. Sometimes scents wear off or change with your skin chemistry over time.
