How to Shop for Fragrances Online Leave a comment

Tip #1

Learn and become familiar with the fragrance families (floral, fresh, woody, and amber) so you know which one you gravitate toward naturally. This will help eliminate a lot of options when you’re browsing online.

Tip #2

Have an understanding of how “notes” work. There are top notes (i.e. scent that is evident as soon as you spritz your first spray), middle notes (i.e. scent that really unfolds 10 to 15 minutes after you’ve applied the perfume), and base notes (i.e. the heavy scent notes that bring up the rear, allowing your perfume to last longer on your skin).

Tip #3

Go through your current scents and consider what’s missing. You may want a fragrance from each family to create a full scent library, or you may be loyal to anything amber. Test out what you already have to determine which way you want to go.

Scent is such a personal and vital addition to your overall style and wardrobe. Yes, scent. How many times have you been out and about and someone walks by you, leaving a lingering scent that makes you want to run up to them and ask “what perfume are you wearing?” Smells have the ability to leave their mark in the most beautiful ways when you choose the right perfume for you, which is why I wanted to share what I consider my personal favorites from Nordstrom, but some of the best perfumes for women. If you’ve been looking for new perfumes to try or have been on the hunt for the best summer perfumes, I highly recommend starting at Nordstrom because of their vast and varied perfume selection!
