Tips on purchasing fragrances

After you have sprayed your perfume prospect on your wrist, let it settle for a few moments as the smell will change as it mixes with your body chemistry.

Although your nose is a powerful organ, it will lose the ability to distinguish between smells after the third or fourth perfume has been tested, so try to limit your tests to three.
