A good expensive perfume seems like a great gift option. However, it must be given with caution. There is no one-size-fits-all fragrance that everyone likes.
General rules
All aromas can be roughly divided into light and heavy. It is believed that young girls need to be presented with fresh, fruity or floral, "light" perfumes, while the older a woman gets, the heavier, warm, complex and spicy fragrances she can afford. This is an almost universal rule that very rarely fails. There is another rule, which says that in summer it is preferable to use less intense smells, and in winter - more spicy.
Decide in what form you will give the fragrance. Perfume is the most expensive option, they contain from twenty to thirty percent of the perfume composition, eau de parfum is an average cost option, such water contains ten to twelve percent of the perfume composition. As for eau de toilette, this is the most budgetary option, the content of the perfume composition in it does not exceed eight percent.
To make a good gift, you need information
At least an approximate idea of what fragrances the future recipient of the gift prefers will help a lot in choosing a perfume as a gift. You can focus on your sense of smell, especially if the person for whom you choose perfume, constantly uses the same or just similar (as is often the case) fragrances. In this case, you just need to isolate a couple of characteristic recognizable notes from the general bouquet of smells and look for a perfume in which they are also present.
You can go an easier way, if you often visit the recipient of the gift, take a closer look at the perfume bottles that can be seen in the bathroom. If some of them are running out, you can remember or write down the name and buy them as a gift. Half-empty bottles usually indicate that the scent is used very often, which means that it can be attributed to your loved ones.
Be sure to find out if the recipient of the gift has any allergic reactions. You need to do this between times in everyday conversation, at the same time you can find out which smells do not delight her.
Perfume manufacturers are very careful about perfume design. Usually, the bottle design and the color of the box give you a rough idea of what kind of scent they are hiding. There is an interesting observation that perfume as a gift for girls can be matched to the color of the box. It is enough to find out what a girl's favorite color is, most often a perfume in a package of the corresponding shade will be ideal for her.
