How to test a perfume

Testing fragrances is essential to finding the perfect fit. Spray a small amount on your pulse points and let it evolve over a few hours, as the different notes interact with your skin’s pH and hydration levels. Well-moisturised skin enhances the longevity of a scent, so pairing your perfume with a matching body lotion is a great tip.

For gifting, consider a perfume set for women, which often includes complementary items like lotions or smaller sizes of the same scent. These are perfect for gifting, whether it’s for a special occasion or a thoughtful surprise.

Don’t forget to store your fragrance in its original box and keep it in a cool, dark place to preserve its true essence. Explore our collection of perfumes. Whether you're after the best perfume for women or a women perfume gift set, you’ll find a world of choice with us.
