Picking the perfect fragrance can be a huge nightmare. You want a smell that works with your body, something that fits just right.

Nothing too overpowering for you or the people around you, yet nothing too soft that wears thin as the day drags on either!

First there's some things to understand when shopping for your perfect perfume!

1) Parfum - means perfume in French and is the strongest and longest lasting perfume available on the market. (Basically this has 20-50% fragrance oils in its compostion)

2) Eau de Parfum (EDP) - (also Parfum de Toilette (PDT)) means in French perfume water. This is the next step down in fragrance value. (Basically these fragrances contain 10-18%  fragrance composition.)

3) Eau de Toilette (EDT) - is one of the most common perfumes and is also affordable. (Basically this fragrance has 3-8% fragrance composition.)

4) Cologne (COL) - the femal version of 'cologne' is the lightest form of fragrance for women, or if speaking for men it is a bit more concentrated form. (This form has a similar composition of fragrance oils as EDT of 3-8%)
