Buy Women's Perfume Online

Buying perfume online can be difficult. How do you know what it will smell like on your skin?

You can't hold it and smell it like you would in a store. Well, you can look at the fragrance notes. This will give you an idea of what type of fragrance it is. Floral, fruity, woody, etc. If you have a perfume you already like, take a look at the ingredients and try to find something similar.

At Scent Republic, we have women's perfume from many different designer fragrance houses. You can find everything from light, fresh fragrances to ones with more amber, musk and woody notes.

What Type of Perfume Do You Like?

There are many different types of ladies' perfume out there. Some smell very similar to each other, and others can be very different.

Below, we have outlined some types of fragrances you may like.

Fresh Fragrances

Ever cut into a lemon or peeled an orange? That's what gives citrus fragrances that fresh smell.

You can find bergamot, grapefruit, mandarin and lemon in many perfumes. They can be combined with florals or have herbal and woody notes as well.

Dolce & Gabbana Light Blue is a great example of a women's perfume that has a fresh citrus smell to it. If you like lighter fragrances, then these are a good place to start.

Floral Perfume

There are many different types of florals used in perfume. Roses, jasmine, peony, lily and gardenia, to name a few.

Each one can smell very different from the others. Rose can smell fresh, green or sweet. Jasmine can be heavy, and lily of the valley can smell lighter. It also depends on whether the perfume is made up of just one floral or a mixture of florals.

Estée Lauder Pleasures and Elizabeth Arden Red Door are both floral fragrances but have very different smells. So if you like florals, make sure you know what type you like.

Sweet and Fruity Ladies' Perfume

Many women's perfumes have fruity notes in them. Apples, pears, peaches, berries and cherries are all used in fragrance. Some can smell very fresh, and others can be very sweet when mixed with vanilla and caramel.

Fruity fragrances don't always have to be all about the fruit. Burberry Her Eau de Parfum has berry notes but also has florals and woody notes as well.

If you like fruity fragrances, make sure to see what other notes are in the perfume.

Musky and Woody Perfume

You don't have to smell like flowers all the time. There are many perfumes that have woody and musky notes in them. Sandalwood, cedarwood, patchouli and amber can all give your fragrance a warmer smell.

Some woods can smell very dry, and others can be smooth. Musk can also vary from perfume to perfume. It can give your fragrance a light and soft smell or be heavier.

These can be mixed with florals, vanilla and spices. So if you like florals or vanilla, you may already be wearing a fragrance that has woody notes in it.

Why Does My Perfume Smell Different After a While?

You may have noticed that when you put your perfume on in the morning, it smells different after a few hours. This is because perfume is made up of different aromatic materials.

Some evaporate quicker than others. The top notes are what you will smell first. Citrus and some fruity notes can be very noticeable at this stage.

Once these start to dissipate, you will start to smell the heart notes. These can include florals, spices and other aromatic materials.

The base notes will last the longest. You will smell these towards the end of your perfume's life. Vanilla, musk and woody notes are some examples.

This is why you shouldn't judge a perfume on the top notes alone. You may love the way it smells at first, but once it dries down, you may not like it as much. Make sure to look at all the notes when buying perfume online.

Eau de Parfum vs Eau de Toilette

You may have noticed that some perfumes come in different strengths. Eau de Parfum and Eau de Toilette are two that you will commonly see.

An Eau de Parfum will have a higher concentration of fragrance material than an Eau de Toilette, although this can vary.

Does this mean that an Eau de Parfum is better? --> Not always.

Some women prefer the smell of an Eau de Toilette, while others like the smell of an Eau de Parfum. Also, if a perfume comes in both an EDT and EDP, they may not smell the same.

Always check the name of the perfume you are buying and make sure it says EDP or EDT.

Can't Find Your Favourite Perfume?

There are times when you just want that perfume you've been wearing for years. The one you know you smell good in.

Maybe the bottle has changed or there are now many different versions of that perfume. Make sure you look at the name of the perfume and what size you want.

Some perfumes may say Intense, Elixir or Le Parfum. These can all smell different from the original. Even if the bottle looks the same. Make sure you are buying the right perfume if you want to replace your current one.

Buying Women's Perfume for Someone Else?

Perfume can make a great gift but can be hard to buy for someone else. You may like a certain perfume, but that doesn't mean the person you are buying it for will. If you know what perfume they like, then buy them that. Or look at what type of fragrances they like.

Do they like fresh floral fragrances? Do they like vanilla? Woody fragrances?

If you are not sure, it's best to buy them a perfume they already know they like. Don't think that just because it's a bigger bottle, it will be a better gift. They may like a smaller bottle of a perfume they know they like better than a big bottle of something they haven't tried.

Should I buy a 30ml, 50ml or 100ml perfume?

This will depend on how often you will be wearing the perfume. If you are going to try something new, then maybe a smaller bottle will be better for you. If you are replacing a perfume that you wear daily, then a bigger bottle may work out cheaper.

Everyone's skin is different. Your skin type, how much you apply and your body temperature can all affect how a perfume smells on you. Also, as mentioned above, a perfume can smell different after a while. So give it some time before you decide you don't like it.
