It often happens that our readers contact us to ask us a very specific question: "How can I choose a perfume online and be sure that I will like it?". The answer, however, is not always so immediate and concise. For this reason, we have chosen to put down in black and white all the factors that contribute to building the choice of a perfume online.

Buying a perfume online: advice to avoid mistakes

Finding the perfect fragrance is not as simple as choosing a bag or a beautiful dress online. Although you can rely on the right strategies to make this selection less impossible than you might think.

Perfume is not an accessory that is worn and changed easily. Perfume expresses the identity of the person, defines their style and personality. Surely you know many women who exchange bags among friends, but we challenge you to find someone who lends her perfume. No one wants to place the emotions, memories and mood generated by that perfume on someone else's skin, because they are intimate and particular, difficult to replicate.

Perfume becomes a signature, a sign of recognition, a characteristic that identifies that person and no other. And that can cause serious discomfort if the fragrance is not in line with one's identity.

Also because a good perfume is not discovered immediately, but reveals itself in its entirety after having gone through an evolution on the skin in a unique way for each person. And this evolution depends on the olfactory notes. Each fragrance is defined step by step, because it takes shape and form little by little, starting with the top notes, changing with the heart notes and then stabilizing with the base notes.

All these notes are essential to approach perfume in a conscious way, to understand if and to what extent the chosen one can be the most suitable for the person.

Choosing the right perfume thus becomes a very important decision and learning to orient yourself in the vast territory of the web allows you to have access to a larger offer, at more advantageous prices and not have to settle for what you find in perfumeries.

But what are the factors to consider when buying a perfume online that can perfectly adapt to your tastes and personality?

How to choose perfumes online

When it is not possible to have a direct olfactory experience, you must rely on other evaluation criteria, each of which will help you to confidently choose the right perfume.

It may seem trivial to say, but the first step to take is to know your olfactory tastes, which you can draw on by remembering the perfumes you usually appreciate. Identifying the predominant notes in the fragrances that are most striking and that you love to find in perfumes allows you to narrow the circle and focus only on the ingredients that belong to the so-called olfactory families that arouse the greatest attraction.

At this point you start to get informed, by reading the descriptions of the olfactory notes. As mentioned above, perfumes are divided into three groups of top notes (those that are perceived immediately), heart notes (those that emerge after a few minutes) and base notes (those that remain longer). Precisely for this reason, reading the ingredients that compose them allows you to get a more concrete idea of ​​the fragrance in question and the depth that will be given to that perfume.

The Arab perfume brands we work with have very identifying olfactory notes, which vary according to the family to which they belong. For this reason, the next piece of advice we give you for choosing a perfume online is to learn about the brand's philosophy, to know the most loved collections and the cultural heritage they are inspired by. This is also a valid way to orient yourself in choosing a perfume that reflects each individual personality and that espouses the same values.

Furthermore, it is always necessary to consider that the right perfume is not just one, but is the one that must be adapted to the occasions and contexts in which it is worn. The perfect perfume for romantic occasions is not the right perfume for going to work, so when making a choice on the fragrance it is important to also look at the occasion in which you intend to wear it, because this influences the choice.

For any doubts about a fragrance or requests for information on the olfactory notes, it should never be forgotten that on our site there is a contact section dedicated to customer service. Every additional detail that you will be given will be useful to find the perfume that best suits your needs, the one that you will never get tired of wearing, the one that best represents your personality.

Finally, there is probably no online purchase that is not preceded by reading the reviews of users who have already chosen it. And the same goes for the online perfumery sector. In particular, it could be useful to understand how each fragrance evolves on the skin, how long it lasts and how intense it is, thanks to the feedback of people who have already experienced it.
