Need help buying for a lady? Let Fragrance Mad give you a hand.
Looking for a special present for that new lady in your life? Or been married for a thousand years but just woke up in the middle of the night dripping with sweat because you've forgotten the wife's birthday? Fear not, Fragrance Mad has all the answers on how you can wade through the 504 (or so) ladies' fragrances we have available, and find the right scent for that special someone. Whether you're buying for your wife, girlfriend, sister, daughter, bus conductress, or any other female of the species, we have the right fragrance to make their eyes light up in joy just a couple of mouse clicks away. It's just a question of knowing what to look for.
First of all, get yourself clued up with a quick look at our Beginner's Guide to Fragrance. Then, put your detective hat on. Any access to your giftee's current perfume collection will prove invaluable in your quest, although we suggest you steer clear of breaking and entering, no matter how noble your intentions. Make a list of what she already has, and search the perfume notes and tones on Fragrance Mad, and perhaps try to match these to your choice. Rack your brains for memories of her expressing a love for any particular smell, as many fragrances are strongly reminiscent of one note in particular, such as DKNY Be Delicious' affinity with apple, or the floral tones of Paul Smith Women. Take a trip into the Scent Room to determine which fragrances fall under a particular style: whether it be citrus, floral, sensual, or active.
Another handy tip is to choose a fragrance that comes in an attractive bottle: even if the fragrance isn't entirely to her taste, if it looks good in the bottle then chances are it'll be left on display in her room anyway, rather than finding its way into the dark black hole of a never-opened drawer. If you're looking for what's hot at the moment, browse our current Top 12 Fragrances for Women. Perhaps most important of all, find something that you think you will like, too. There's nothing worse than having to spend time with somebody whose scent makes your nose recoil in misery, and little better than associating a terrific smell with the love of your life. If all else fails, contacting us is only a click away, and one of our experts will be more than happy to recommend the perfect gift for your needs.
