When buying fragrances, it will be good if you start with a basic understanding of perfume and cologne. That will definitely help in the buying decision later. There are many top brands in the market where we can choose from, such as Dolce & Gabbana, Giorgio Armani, Bvlgari, Versace, Hugo Boss, and many others. I always found it confusing over the right brand to buy until I learn from a friend of mine, the tips to buying the perfect perfume. Here are the tips I am going to share with you today.

1. Understanding your own needs – When we are buying perfume or cologne, it is all about buying the right fragrances for the right occasion. In order to select the perfect perfume and cologne, the first thing we must do is to take stock of our activities. Our own needs will assist us in determining the type of fragrances we can chose from.

2. Understanding the difference between Perfume and Cologne – Believe it or not, many people still do not know how to differentiate between perfume and cologne. Some even think that cologne is only for men. When wearing a fragrance, it is easily observed that perfume fragrances last longer than cologne. And of course the most prominent difference between a perfume and cologne is their pricing.
