Long lazy afternoons, lying in long grass, making pictures out of clouds...
Freshly cut watermelon and baked apple pie picnics...
Fruit trees offering teases of orange and lemon blossoms on each gentle wind....
Bees hovering about drinking sweet nectar from violet and blue irises...
Have you ever been standing behind someone and just been blown away by their scent? Taken away to another place or time? Come on admit it, you have! Whether it was a gentleman's sultry-musk aftershave while you waited behind him for your take-out dinner or the fruity-freesia fragrance wafting across the counter from the pretty bank teller - you noticed it. And what's more you wanted more!
Smell is the most evocative of all of our senses and our primal attraction to scents can't be denied. A perfume can conjure up memories of old high school crushes or days in your Nana's backyard picking wild violets.
It can make you feel as nervous as you did the day you took those fateful vows, or as special as the night he proposed. Whether you are wealthy or average, a well-chosen perfume can make you feel a million dollars. Some even say they feel naked without it...
Until recently it wasn't always easy to find a good perfume at a reasonable price. Imported and Designer perfumes are expensive and often only found in certain chains or department stores. Just the simple task of finding your perfect scent can cause you a headache.
Anyone else recall waiting patiently for friends or relatives to bring home duty-free favourites from Europe stashed amongst the cheap souvenirs and foreign cigarettes? With the prevalence of discount perfume online these days, all you need is an idea of what you like and a price range to start with and you're sure to come out smelling like roses (or frangipani, or vanilla, or sandalwood, or bergamot...!)
Online Perfume Stores
Whether you're looking for that perfect present for your partner or just wanting to spoil yourself a little, the gift of perfume is a classic choice. Online perfume stores are easy to find and even easier to shop at - all you need is a credit card and Internet surfing skills.
If you buy locally, expect your item to arrive within 10 working days and don't accept broken or damaged postage. If you opt to buy your perfume from an international online perfume retailer then you'll have to wait up to eight weeks for your item - think about supporting your local traders and getting the peace of mind from postal tracking services and insurance.
Never accept fraudulent goods (more on that later) and don't be afraid to ask for your money back if you're not satisfied.
Comfort and Convenience
Most stores will have a 'search' option where you can browse either by name, brand or in many cases, designer. You can even shop alphabetically which is great for those 'I'm sure it was an rrrrrrrrr sounding word' moments!
Or you can just cruise the site looking for a suitable purchase. I found my very favourite perfume from university days just by browsing through an online perfume storefront and recognising the shape of the bottle!
What an accomplishment! Some online perfume boutiques even offer 'shop by mood' options - whether you're feeling flowery and feminine or if sexy and somber is more you, you're bound to find a scent that suits your taste.
You can also look by filtering for earth-friendly products, natural or non-allergenic ingredients and any particular additives that you just adore (for me anything with lavender...traditional but so calming).
The fun part of browsing online perfume stores is that you can do it from the comfort of you own home. You can take your time to hunt for the lowest price, largest quantity, best deal, and finest online perfume stores.
You can do it in your pajamas whilst having a cup of tea. You can do it on your lunch break at work. You can do it on whim or because you just earned yourself a treat. You can even do it to buy your ex-boyfriend's exact aftershave and spritz it on your pillow at night to reminisce of times gone by...or not!
With the convenience of finding discount perfume online you can not only avoid pushy sales clerks breathing down your neck and intermittently forcing your face into brandy balloons of coffee beans, but you can also get exactly what you want. What a scensationally simple idea!
Watch out For Fakes!
You may find lots of deals that seem too good to be true - and the sad truth is that there are many inferior products out there being sold off as genuine items. Don't be fooled by imitations and under priced 'bargains'.
Finding discount perfume online shouldn't leave you feeling cheap! Look out for poorly packaged items and obvious labeling omissions like lack of barcode, manufacturers address, incorrect colours and misspelled words.
Online perfume stores that don't offer a contact phone number and reputable secure online trading are another way to spot a fraud. Look out for changes to scents you know well and if a scent is not quite right or doesn't last as it should, don't take it.
Even if it's not a fake, it could be out-of-date or poorly handled and therefore not safe to wear. You deserve to have a quality fragrance against your skin - WARNING: additions of non-approved chemicals, colours and preservatives can be harmful to your health. DON'T accept these goods. Report the retailer to your local consumer service immediately.
