Whenever I used to shop a perfume or deodorant, it confused me a number of times how I can find a good fragrance. Picking a good fragrance was never an easy task till I explored some simple things to keep in mind before selecting a good fragrance:
Choose the fragrance you like most or a combination of your favorite fragrances. It can be Floral, Woody,oriental, Musk, Citric etc or a combination of these. Check the notes in fragrance especially the base note. Generally, fragrances up to 3 notes can be found in shopping stores and are more common. Fragrances having more notes can be difficult to find.
