Scent as a Gift

Scent can be good gift.Buying perfume to give as a gift does not have to be difficult. However, since not all women like perfume you need to make sure the recipient is one who wears fragrances. When it comes to finding out her favorite brand you don't need to be sneaky, or beat around the bush. Just come right out and ask her what her favorite scent is. The majority of women who like perfume will be able to name a few scents that they either wear or have wanted to try. Some women though don't need to be asked. If you know perfumes and scents you will know what they wear by the way they smell.

When gifting someone with perfume it's easier to buy them a fragrance you know they already wear but why not buy something new and introduce her to what very well could end up being her next favorite scent. The woman behind the fragrance counter will know that if the recipient loves and wears Pleasures by Estee Lauder that there is a good chance she will also like The One, by Dolce and Gabbana.

While shopping for a fragrance for someone else you also have to keep their personality in mind. If the person you are shopping for is young, with a bubbly, hip personality you will want to choose a scent that matches and enhances that personality. In this instance go foody. Yes, there are many perfumes available that smell like food. Pink Sugar by Aquolina is one, Sugar Blossom by Fresh, Coney Island by Bond No.9, and Groove by Carol's Daughter. These are just a few of today's foody fragrances.

If the woman you are shopping for is the epitome of class and sophistication, Provocative from Elizabeth Arden is a wonderful choice. White Diamonds by Elizabeth Taylor is a timeless classic, as is Vanderbilt by Gloria Vanderbilt. All three of these perfumes would be a perfect choice for the sophisticated woman.

While there are a lot of women who love perfume the thought of buying and trying a new scent is something some don't enjoy doing. Which is why giving perfume as a gift is appreciated by the recipient. Spend some time at the fragrance counter searching through the different brands and don't be shy about asking the sales clerk questions. Just by giving her some information in regards to your recipient's personality and lifestyle she will be able to help you choose the perfect women's perfume.
