Top 5 Mistakes To Avoid When Purchasing Fragrances
As fragrance enthusiasts, we all know the importance of a good scent, and how it can impact our mood and confidence. However, purchasing fragrances can be a tricky task, especially if you're not aware of the common mistakes that buyers make. In this article, we'll be discussing the Top 5 mistakes that you should avoid when purchasing fragrances.
Don't purchase based on concentration:
One of the biggest misconceptions about fragrances is that the concentration of the scent determines the projection and longevity of the fragrance. However, this is not entirely true. While the concentration does play a role in the scent's intensity, it's not the only factor that affects how long the fragrance lasts. Other factors like the quality of the ingredients and the skin type of the wearer also come into play. Therefore, it's essential to try out a fragrance before you purchase it, regardless of the concentration.
Visit a store to try out the fragrance you are interested in or alternatively purchase sample sizes online. Samples sizes allow continuous wear of the fragrance to fully ensure that the scent is a perfect match for you.

Blind Buying Fragrances:
Buying fragrances without sampling them first is another common mistake that many fragrance buyers make. Blind buying can be tempting, especially when you come across a scent that seems like it would be perfect for you. However, the truth is that a fragrance can smell very different on your skin than it does in the bottle or on someone else. Therefore, it's always best to sample the fragrance before you buy it.
At The Fragrance Cabinet, we offer samples of all our fragrances, so you can try them out before you make a purchase. We believe that every customer should have the opportunity to experience the scent of their choice before committing to a full-size bottle.
Buying fragrances based on presentation:
While it's true that the presentation of a fragrance bottle can be very appealing, it's important not to purchase a scent based solely on its appearance. The design of the bottle has nothing to do with the fragrance's scent profile, and it's easy to be disappointed in a scent that doesn't live up to your expectations.
Storing your fragrance in the bathroom:
Many people make the mistake of storing their fragrances in the bathroom, where the temperature can fluctuate due to showers and other factors. Unfortunately, storing your fragrance in a location where the temperature fluctuates a lot can cause the fragrance to smell different. This can lead to disappointment when you try to wear the scent and find that it doesn't smell as good as it did when you first purchased it.
Rubbing your wrists together after applying:
Finally, one of the most common mistakes that fragrance buyers make is rubbing their wrists together after applying the fragrance. This can actually ruin the top notes of the fragrance, which will alter the scent profile of the fragrance. Instead, it's best to let the fragrance dry on your skin naturally.
Conclusion
In conclusion, purchasing fragrances can be a daunting task, but by avoiding these top 5 mistakes, you'll be well on your way to finding the perfect scent. Remember to sample the fragrance before you buy it, store it in a cool, dry place, and let it dry on your skin naturally.
