Online shopping maybe is one of the best things in the world. You can shop until you drop in your jammies while sipping on coffee or wine, whatever you feel like, in the comfort of your cozy bed. Be it window shopping or looking for a top you saw on someone, we have done it all online.
Even though we find online shopping such a sinful and blissful pleasure, there are always some things, which we prefer not to buy online. One such thing is perfumes!
Perfumes have such an intrinsic relationship with our olfactory senses that mere thinking about buying a perfume without getting a whiff of it seems ridiculous. But in the same way, we have started buying lipsticks and clothes, before trying them on, why not give perfumes a try as well. A lot of us are not able to take out time to look for the right fragrance and online shopping is the only way to do it for them.
If you are a true perfume lover, you can understand how intricate perfume search is. One has to spend hours and hours, move from one shop to another, and try on an endless number of testers before finalizing that one perfect scent.
Make Your Online Perfume Shopping Hassle Free
If you are still confused about buying fragrances at online perfume stores, maybe we can help you with that,
Understand the perfume categories
Often people end up buying the wrong kind of perfume getting confused between the terminologies. It is important to understand the perfume categories even if you are buying perfume offline. Perfume categories are defined according to the presence of fragrance oil concentration in them.
Parfum oil has the highest concentration and lasts for more than 10 hours. After that comes the Eau de parfum or EDP, Eau de toilette or EDT, Eau de Cologne or EDC and so on arranged respectively in order of their longevity. Every international perfume brand follows this standard and mentions the category on the perfume bottle.
The colour says it all
The phrase, judging a book by its cover, is 100% accurate when it comes to judging a perfume. You can tell about the kind of fragrance a perfume has just by looking at the packaging and its colour.
Blues are for fresh, Gold is for rich exotic, Yellow is for cheerful, greens are for herb or foliage, black is for intense, red is for energy, passion having a spicy sensuous mix, whites and pinks represent soft florals or delicate fragrances.
Maybe buy a tester
Many online perfume shops offer perfume testers for trials to their customers. You can ask for these perfume vials from brands and variants you have shortlisted and try them, one at a time to know if any of them is worth it or not. Brands like Perfume Selfie offer seven perfumes tester vials in a box at a very meager price. You can look for such brands if you are not comfortable in buying a perfume online without trying it. This is same as visiting a store personally and trying every perfume present over there. However, over here you can take as much time as you want without feeling weird about asking for too many trials.
Pay attention to the notes
While buying the perfume online, start by thinking about the mood you want that perfume for. Do you want to have something intense suitable for the evenings or want something fresh for the day? Focusing on the fragrance notes and families will keep you from straying way. Almost all the good online perfume shops mention the notes and families of the perfume variants. You can go through them to finalize on your choice.
Some of the notes that are quite popular for the ongoing season are Citrus, Florals, gourmand, fruity, Herbs, Sporty, Aquatic, and oriental. With just a little research, you can master the art of buying perfume online.
Look for the reviews
Reviews are the best way to judge an online shopping store and it’s products. By looking at the customer reviews on the website as well as other portals for review, you can find out if the website is worthy of your time or not. Positive reviews are great to know what the company has to offer to you in your perfume search but so are the negative ones. With help of the negative reviews, you can understand what is wrong with the service being offered by the brand or if they are customer-centric or not. Do remember to take every review with a grain of salt.
Paying attention to little details like the name, colour of the bottle, design of the bottle can also give you a better insight about the fragrance. Apart from it, do find out more about the brand and the seller before spending money. Enjoy your perfume shopping!
