You think about buying perfume as a gift for your loved one. Unless you know exactly what perfume your soulmate adores, the decision is not as difficult as it is frightening. What if you don’t match the aromatic preferences? What if instead of a warm woody scent, she likes vibrant citrus? And what if the perfume simply does not match her skin type and decants differently than it should?
I know the feeling, I’ve been there. Especially when trying to order online. After searching for the most enchanting perfumes, you just simply stay in front of your monitor eyeing up the listings of different perfumes while the voice in your head doesn’t stop asking “What if…?What if…?” All we want, in fact, is to see our loved one dressing in the chosen perfume and enjoying it deeply.
So, how do you achieve that purpose? By quitting up the idea and looking for jewelry or a luxury handbag instead? Leave this scenario for other occasions. Meanwhile, dive into this article to discover how to enjoy the process. The fragrance selection wouldn’t be so daunting for you, in case you just follow some tips and recommendations. I know it is always easier to opt for a voucher instead. It solves the huge problem of screwing all up. But just think a little bit. Wouldn’t it be more pleasant for HER to wear a perfume that YOU selected with the most careful attitude? I think she would appreciate it much more than just the regular “cold” voucher. Straight to the topic, then!
Become a detective: what scents does she usually use?
The process of finding the right perfume should begin much earlier than the buying process. The decision requires some time and … investigation. So, activate the detective mode within you. You know her the best. You see her every day. Therefore, it should not be complicated for you to conclude what perfumes she is more inclined to.
As a general rule, fragrances come in several categories. Some of them fall into the fruity category, others into the woody one. So, your first mission is to detect the category of the perfume she usually wears.
What notes do you discover? Smokey, woody, earthy, fruity? Catch them in the air and remember them. Oh, and have fun doing the process.
If you still find it difficult to detect particular notes in the amalgam of aromatic accords, choose the easiest way: read her perfume’s composition. While this might not be the most “romantic” way, it is still a solution for your primary goal.
Contemplate about her…literally
I know you do it with or without the perfume context. Because you love her, you think of her every time she’s not with you. And those butterflies in the stomach remind you about how much you miss her. And that’s the grandeur of love. But, we are talking about perfumes here. Since you want to discover her aromatic preferences, think about her lifestyle and hobbies. In the beginning, it might seem strange to you. But, you have to know that some perfumes reflect energy and dynamism, while others- romanticism and tranquility. So, you don’t want your beloved one to wear an opulent aroma when all her inner nature is all about delicacy and femininity.
Think down the smallest details. Does she like watering flowers or even gardening? It is suggestive enough that a floral scent might enchant her. Is she fond of active sports like swimming or tennis? Then fresh scents with citrus accords should not miss from her new perfume. Or, maybe she adores lying next to the chimney and reading The Great Gatsby while sipping the red wine. Such a picture insinuates you to take into consideration warm, woody, maybe slightly smokey aromatic compositions.
Do you still think her hobbies aren’t suggestive enough for you?
Identify her personality type
Again, you might think it is absurd. But you have to give it a try. Try to describe her in your mind, from the personality point of view. Is she calm and elegant? Maybe she is a rebel and adventurous. If you try to correlate her personality with the scent she usually wears, I doubt that you won’t find connected dots between them. Without even realizing it, we choose our perfumes according to the traits of our character. It is highly unlikely that a person chooses strong and “screamy” perfumes while his inner nature is all “smart” and delicate. So, if you are interested in this subject, you can find plenty of more information in our previous article referring to the correlation between different personality types and the aromas they choose. Otherwise, relying on the traits of her character, you can Google the most suitable perfumes for her type.
Make abstraction from YOUR preferences
The hardest part of all is probably making abstractions from your own preferences while liking what you choose. Sounds ambiguous, I know. But, let me explain it. On one hand, we unconsciously tend to buy for others what WE like and what WE consider attractive/beautiful\necessary, etc… But this is wrong since we rely only on our own perspectives. Did you think that the expensive Swiss replica Omega that you bought for your mother last year didn’t suit her necessities? The watch might have been indeed performant and durable, but that’s not what she needed. She might have needed a replica Rolex Datejust with a more formal and minimalist look.
This example might not necessarily refer to you in particular. But, what I’m trying to say is that sometimes we have to step back from our visions about a certain thing. Instead, we must think about the person we want to please. And while you think you found the greatest perfume according to YOUR point of view, SHE might find it great too, but mismatching her preferences and style.
On the other hand, all this epic shouldn’t make you think of buying something that you don’t like. After all, it’s you who will be smelling the perfume you offer her as a gift. So, how to get out of this labyrinth?
You can solve it as follows: first comes HER personality and after that YOUR approval. Therefore, you begin searching for the right perfume considering primarily her hobbies, her previous scents, and character traits. Only after, you approve the selection based on your tastes.
Therefore, if the aromatic composition seems to fit her spirit, but you don’t embrace it then quit it. Similarly, if a scent that seems special to you doesn’t have anything in common with her personality, then quit it as well. The golden mean is to find the perfect balance between both criteria.
What would you do if she didn’t wear perfume before you?
There can be cases when ladies simply don’t wear perfumes for a certain period of time. If this is your case, it means you have no previous reference to estimate her aromatic preferences. In such a case, the most important thing you must do is to understand the reason why she doesn’t wear perfume. Possibly, your girlfriend/wife/mistress is hypersensitive to some fragrance ingredients or perfumes in general. In situations like this, it would be wise to opt for another type of gift like jewelry or handbags (as you initially thought).
If you exclude the allergy reason and your loved one suggests that she simply hadn’t found a perfume to impress her enough then it’s your moment of glory. In fact, you don’t necessarily need a reference from the past to choose a great scent, whenever you consider all the other criteria. So, be daring and have confidence that you will do it right.
Online perfume buying
Buying perfume in the boutique might be exhausting, but never as challenging as when buying from online platforms. Looking from the other perspective, online shops can offer you a way wider range of perfumes than a physical store. And online perfume purchases can be flawless and tension-free if you know where to buy from. The secret to avoiding online traps is to check the veracity of the online store. All of us come across hundreds of sponsored ads on our social media platforms promoting great designer perfumes at the best prices. But, few of us observe that those designer perfumes don’t come from the official brands’ sites. Cheap perfumes are unlikely to provide that long-lasting effect and rich aromatic pyramid that we all look for. Therefore, you shouldn’t consider the low price as the main priority for the perfume you want to buy. You should focus on quality instead.
In such a context, AAAReplica online shop is the right platform in case quality is your prerogative. Yes, the perfumes found on this platform are imitations of designer perfumes. But, while originals are a little bit pricey (if not too expensive), the replica alternatives are much more affordable, but never compromise the quality. I suggest you navigate the platform and discover the most remarkable fragrances for your soulmate. Be sure to have a cozy buying experience and great replica items. Hope you will enjoy it the way I did.
