Most men hate buying womens perfume, or anything else feminine –
and who can blame them? I’d hate buying miter saws and sports gear for
men – I don’t know what they want or need! But we women expect our
men to buy us perfume, so they’re stuck.
If you’re a guy in the unenviable position of needing to buy womens perfume,
don’t make the error of buying something because you like it. Each woman’s
body chemistry is a little different, and perfume reacts differently on each
of them. Your best bet is to take her by the perfume counter and smell womens
perfumes with her. Choose a womens perfume you like on her after an hour, and
let her know that you like it – that makes a big difference. Then go back
and buy the perfume – surprise her that you remembered the name of the
scent!
You might be a little luckier – she might be a creature of habit with
a particular womens perfume she likes to wear. If that’s your case, you
can usually find popular brands of womens perfume in gift sets, with the perfume,
a purse atomizer (that’s womenese for spray), and a powder or lotion.
Learn the word “layering.” Womens perfumes last longer when layered
– in other words, you use a scented shower gel, then a powder or lotion,
and finally spray the fragrance on. If you know this, you will impress your
woman.
Another thing you can do when buying womens perfume is to purchase a scent that
is from the same company as the perfume she habitually uses. For instance, I
use Chloe, but I would not mind getting Chloe Narcisse. You can ask at the womens
perfume counter, or you can do a web search for the perfume name to find others
in the same family.
And the last thing – always, always keep the receipt, and ask about the
exchange policy. Womens perfume is a very personal item, and a woman who does
not like a scent will never use that bottle you spend thirty or forty dollars
on.
