This is a question asked by many, because how often does it happen to you that you find the perfume in the perfumery, drugstore or at your friend's/friend's house that you liked so much, but still turn out to be less so on yourself. First, it is good to know how this can happen. Some possibilities are:

• You smell the perfume immediately after it is sprayed on.
  The perfume is currently still in its first phase. In this phase, the top notes are still very evident. This often consists of citrus, green and aromatic fragrance notes. These fragrance notes dissipate more quickly and will fade after 15 to 20 minutes so that only then will you smell the perfume smells as will remain for an extended period of time.
• You test the perfume on a scent strip.
  When you smell a perfume for the first time, it is useful to try it out on a scent strip, because imagine walking around all day with a perfume you really don't like! Still, it is wise to try that perfume (that smells so good on the strip) on your skin as well. Various factors such as acidity and hormones affect how the perfume will turn out on your skin.
• You buy the same perfume as your friend because it smells so good on her.
  That lovely perfume that your friend has on is exactly what you are looking for, but once you put it on, it still smells different. This is because everyone's skin is different so the perfume smells different too. That's bummer, but there will definitely be a perfume that suits you perfectly.
