perfumes and colognes, discount perfumeWhen you purchase perfumes and colognes what criteria do you use to decide whether you will buy a product or not? When I was younger I was always attracted to perfumes and colognes that had an aesthetically pleasing bottle because I had a thing about pretty things and, to be frank, I lacked experience. Now that I am older I judge perfumes and colognes by the blend of fragrance notes they contain. There are certain fragrance notes that I love to smell in women's perfume. If I see them listed in the product description when shopping for discount perfume on the web it can persuade me to go ahead and try the product. This is especially true if the discount perfume contains a few of my favorite fragrance notes. So what fragrance notes do I like? The list is extensive and includes sandalwood, orange blossom, patchouli, amber, vanilla, cedar, mandarin, bergamot, jasmine, lily, orchid, star anise and caraway to name but a few. I am a huge fan of oriental perfumes and colognes that contain spicy or woody fragrance notes.
