Wait! There's more...

I tried to cover everything about perfume in this one article without making it too lengthy, but I would like to mention a couple more things in case they apply to your situation.

First, if you are still unsure as to where and how to find the best perfume for your gal; do a tad more research on the topic. Check out more articles on Google. I found some more on reputable sources like AskMen.com, People magazine, and Good Housekeeping.

Second, keep in mind the reason you wear perfume. For example, if you usually wear it to dates only, well, you may want one that makes you feel sexy and smell yummy. If you just want to put a fragrance on for work, keep it sweet and subtle. There’s a chance that your company even has a policy on how much you can wear.

Finally, check out pheromones and perfume. Yeah, that’s right. Now, I am by far no expert on this, so I will just tell you my opinion and advice on the subject. Pheromones entice the opposite sex and with perfume your natural pheromones are ignited, making you sexier and making the opposite sex want you more.
