How to Find the Perfect Fragrance
One should always smell their best and you should have fun with your perfume selection. If you follow simple steps outlined below, you will be well on your way to finding the perfect fragrance that suits your style at a low cost.
1. Visit Sephora or a large department store and start playing with the perfumes. Spray what looks intriguing on a tester paper or a tissue, not on your body to avoid confusing the scents.Perhaps work with a sales associate to identify the types of scents you like - whether that be floral, musky, etc. Narrow down the perfumes you examine to the types of scents you like and spray a few of those. When you find one or two that you really like, then apply the fragrances in separate spots on you arm. The best part is, step one is free!
2. Walk around for a day with the one or two fragrances on your body. At the end of the day if you still like the perfume, then you have a winner. If not, then approach step one again.
3. Go back to your store of choice and ask for a sample of the perfume you just tried for a day. You should be able to get a small vial of the perfume you like for free. Sephora is one of the best stores for getting free perfume samples. Wear the perfume from this sample multiple times to ensure you love it.
4. If you love the perfume you've tested, go for it and make the purchase! Try to purchase it when a department store is a having a beauty event, so that you can receive a discount or free gifts with your purchase. You can find out about department store beauty events by calling or asking a salesperson.
What's your favorite fragrance? Do you have other questions about finding the right perfume?

i like lacoste pink and ghost!
=]
I absolutely adore perfume so I have a ton of it at home (which is bad cause it can disappear if not looked after). Anyways I love :
J'adore- Dior
Hot Couture- Givenchy
Very Irresistable- Givenchy( though I am getting tired of it)
Rock & Rose- Valentino
Cool Water- Davidoff
and many others but those the most ..
I shamelessly wear celebrity frangrances... they're cheaper. XD Curious by Britney Spears is my favorite. It has a cute bottle too. I also like her Believe and Midnight Fantasy. J.Lo's Glow is also a good one, though I ran out a long time ago. I'm also quite fond of Tommy Girl.
Jadore Dior would be my favorite if I could afford it, but I looove clinique happy heart. But I usually just wear body spray from gap or victoria's secret.
So far I'm wearing white chantilly, I want my OWN scent though. My mom wears white shoulders and I don't like it that much, it's not me. I want to go to macy's or something (I don't think I have sephora in my town) Although I did like a scent from Fredricks of Hollywood, very nice and simple. But expensive.
Whenever I wear a scent, it's my favorite scent from Bath and Body Works: warm vanilla sugar. I use their body spray to give myself a hint of sugary goodness and I'm good to go! [I'm not a fan of the husky scent]
I love Britney Spears' Curious, Fantasy, and Midnight Fantasy. I also like the original Jucy Couture, Beyonce True Star Gold, and Escada Pacific Paradise.
I've tried Armani Remix. I am pretty satisfied with it because it lasts. :)
I like Britney Spears' Fragrances too but they dont last really long on me. Too Bad. :\
Paris Hilton; Heiress is my current :)
I love Dior Addict 2 and Ann Taylor Possibilities for girly days and Ralph Lauren Wild for days when I want a little more flair.
Bvlgari Au the Vert
I absolutely love Calvin Klein's Euphoria. I got a gift set with the perfume and lotion for Christmas from my (now ex) boyfriend.
my #1 fragrance is my natural body odor..yummm :]]
haha...i like VS's VERY SEXY ;)
elizabeth arden's splendor. fits me perfectly.
Pacific Paradise by Escada was my long-running favorite
but I'm currently in love with Nina by Nina Ricci. I love how crisp yet sweet it smells.
Faves= Burberry Brit and Burberry London :)
marc jocabs daisy
and burberry brit.
and hanai mori the blue butter fly bottle.
<3 <3 <3
vera wang princess smells gooood. but one sales lady told me that I should spray it on the skin because it might smell different on me than it does if you spray on the tester since the chemicals are mixed with my skin scent and therefore it will smell different on me. I don't know if that's truee?
Be Delicious - DKNY... I fell in love with this fragrance the moment I smelled it.
This is not totally off topic but my favorite fragrance on a guy is Armani Code and Acqua di Gio... oh my god, they smell SO GOOD. I couldn't contain myself when my ex used to wear it haha.
A few of my favorites right now. I'm quite the perfume fanatic..
J'adore-Dior (always)
Envy-Gucci
Daisy-Marc Jacobs
Dream-The Gap
LAMB-Gwen Stefani
I used to be clueless as to the type I liked until one day I hit the jackpot, Annie Oakley - sunset. The entire Annie Oakley line is perfect for me but the sunset one just nails it!
My current favourite is Chocolovers by Aquolina
im drawn to citrus fruity scents
like clinique happy/ escada .... i forget what its called!! :x.. the one in the pink bottle w/ the yellow cap.. and morgan butterfly
-- edit --
