Buy travel size first if available. I have loved perfumes for one week and then gotten tired of them. Travel sizes saved me from expensive full-bottle regret.

Test one perfume per wrist, not ten strips. After a few scents, your nose gets confused and everything smells like a department store cloud.

Never buy from the first spray. Get a sample or spray it on your skin and walk around for hours. Fragrance changes with body chemistry and time.
