🌟 How to Shop for Perfumes Like a Pro 🌟

🔍 Understand Fragrance Notes
Perfumes are a scent journey with top, middle, and base notes. Top notes are what hit you first 👃, middle notes are the heart of the scent 💖, and base notes are what linger on 🕰️.
💖 Determine Your Scent Preferences
Think about what fragrances make you feel fab! Are you into floral 🌸, fresh 🍃, earthy 🌲, or citrus 🍋 scents? Knowing what makes you feel the best or what makes you feel sexy will help you find the best match!
🧪 Test Before You Buy (or Buy Big!)
Discovery kits and travel sizes can be super helpful and affordable way to try scents that your order online. Trying perfumes on your skin instead of just a bottle sniff is ideal of course as perfumes can smell different on one person to the next 🌈. Head to our store to test them out!
🎉 Consider the Occasion
Pick a fragrance that fits the vibe! Fresh and light scents are great for everyday wear 🌞, while bold and complex ones are perfect for evening events or special occasions ✨.
⏰ Check for Longevity
Not all perfumes stick around the same amount of time. Eau de Toilettes last for about 3-4 hours ⏳, while Eau de Parfums can go 8 hours plus.
🌱 Be Mindful of Allergies
Got sensitive skin or allergies? Look for hypoallergenic or non-toxic options 🧴. Many brands offer perfumes that are free from harsh chemicals and irritants. We recommend Maison Louis Marie!
