Online shopping has increased exponentially since the pandemic. We now commonly pick up our phone, tablets, computers to start our shopping carts for 24/7 shopping at our leisure.
The only downside? Sometimes we’ll receive a product only to realize that it wasn’t quite what we were expecting, and that’s especially true of fragrances. After all, it can be hard to choose the right scent without having smelled it.
To help us streamline our perfume purchasing process at WWW.HONEYBEEHIVE.US, here are some go-to tips for buying a perfume online—and loving it long afterwards.
1. Do your research: Do your homework. To get a better idea of how other people tend to like the fragrance in question. Their experiences may help inform your decision.
2. Sign up for a quiz: Don’t worry, you’ll like being graded on this kind of quiz. Some websites and companies offer scent personality quizzes that will help you determine what your olfactory preferences (what types of scents you’re into) are, your actual personality and what kind of lifestyle you lead. All of these are important factors for finding your perfect fragrance.
3. Pay attention to the descriptions: Descriptions will help you to determine whether or not that type of scent matches your personality and lifestyle.
“If you’re bright and sunny, you’re not going to want something heavy and overpowering”. So look for descriptions that really appeal to you and sound like they match both your personality and lifestyle.
4. Know your notes: Notes can be separated into as many as seven different groups. The different notes can be divided into four main themes or families: fresh, floral, woodsy and oriental. Knowing what theme suits you best might help you choose the right perfume.
Consider this your guide:
Fresh: This family consists of simple, elegant, and clean notes—meaning anything citrus, green, and organic (think fresh air after a rainstorm). Go with a perfume with fresh notes if you’re looking for something outdoorsy and youthful.
Floral: In this family, you’ll find notes from roses, lilies and jasmine, to name a few. You’ll also find floral blends, like fruity floral (which will have notes of strawberries, pomegranate, or guava, for example) and floral oriental (which will have notes of spices like vanilla, nutmeg, and cinnamon). Because of this, you have a pretty big range of options when it comes to floral scents. You’ll find both soft and subtle scents as well as bold and exotic ones in this category. This family of scents is best for the ultra-feminine girl.
Woodsy: Perfect for those who like to be both outdoorsy and sophisticated, scents in this family remind people of the Great Outdoors. In this category, you’ll find notes of sandalwood, birchwood and cedar, to name a few. Woodsy notes are also often used in men’s fragrances, so consider these if you find yourself spritzing on (and loving) masculine scents.
Oriental: The scents in this family aren’t for the faint of heart. They’re big and bold and are perfect for people with a sensual, exciting personality to match. You’ll find notes of vanilla, musk, nutmeg, coriander and more in this category.
