Check out seven tips for giving perfume as a gift and not making mistakes
1 – Focus on the person’s personality
Gifting perfume is a great idea. However, it is important that you know how to select the most suitable perfume for the person you are giving a gift to.
Avoid choosing a perfume just because you think the bottle is pretty, for example.
Each person has the fragrance that best matches their personality, so you will need to think carefully about the person’s profile and what they like most.
Observe and think carefully about the details about the person being gifted:
- What is her style?
- The places she likes to go most?
- What does she like to eat most?
With these answers it will be easier for you to identify which olfactory family to choose when purchasing the perfume.
The chances of you getting it right will be much greater!

2 – Choose a fragrance that the person already likes
If you really don’t want to make a mistake when giving perfume as a gift, the tip is: Try not to take too many risks.
Don’t choose a fragrance blindly, try to choose essences that you know the person likes!
Try to buy a perfume with a similar scent to one you already know the person uses.
Exchange informal conversations, seek information, without the person suspecting your intentions.
This way, you will be sure that the person will use your gift, instead of leaving it stored in a box in the closet.

3 – Be careful when experimenting
Since you are the one going to the store to buy the gift, nothing is more fair than you trying it out and seeing what you think of the aroma.
On the day of purchase, it is essential that you do not use perfume before trying other fragrances.
This way, you avoid getting confused with the aromas.
It’s also worth noting to smell the perfume directly from the bottle.
Try to apply a small amount on your wrist and, if you want to try several, use the paper strips – available in all perfumeries.
We will now show you some personality styles so you can try to identify which one your friend belongs to.
This will make it even easier to choose the olfactory family!
