There are many options you need to consider when choosing the perfume that suites you. If it smells good on your friend or family member it wont necessarily smell good on you because it all has to do with your skin type, skin pigment, sweat etc. You need to spray the perfume on your skin and leave it on for at least 15 minutes or so, then let a friend or family member help you choose your perfume because you wont be able to smell your perfume like other people do. A good quality French perfume will gradually fade after about 7 hours. After you know what perfume is for you, you can order online with more confidence. Happy shopping!
