Perfume is a key part of individuality. Your fragrance and how you react to it is fascinating because of the unique experience for each individual. Perfume smells different on everyone based on the individual’s body chemistry. The fragrance you may think you like on the cardboard strip at the perfume counter may displease you at home. And a perfume you enjoy smelling on a friend may not work for you either. It is all about trial and error.
For this Counter Intelligence Top 9 of 2009 list, I have selected a variety of scents. They range from floral to musky; from citrus to spicy. The goal is to help you become more familiar with the key notes fragrances contain so that you are more informed at the beauty counter and can save time and money.
