The Ultimate Beginner’s Guide to Buying Perfume Online
Shopping for perfume online can feel like a gamble… but it doesn’t have to be.
At PocketPerfumes.org, we make it easy to explore, experiment, and find your signature scent without ever stepping foot in a store.
Here’s your no-BS guide to buying fragrance online with confidence:
🧠 1. Learn the Fragrance Families
Every scent falls into one (or more) of these main categories:
-
Fresh (citrus, aquatic, green)
-
Floral (rose, jasmine, white flower)
-
Woody (cedar, sandalwood, vetiver)
-
Oriental (spicy, amber, vanilla, oud)
Knowing what you usually like makes picking samples 10x easier.
👃 2. Always Test on Skin, Not Just Paper
Your skin chemistry is the deciding factor. That’s why we always recommend trying a 2ml or 3ml size before committing to the full deal.
🔍 3. Read the Notes, Not the Hype
Don’t just go by “TikTok made me buy it.” Read the top, mid, and base notes listed in the description — that’s where the magic lives.
🎯 4. Pick Sample Sizes That Match Your Goal
-
Just curious? 2ml
-
Want to wear for a few days? 3ml–5ml
-
Already love it and want travel size? 10ml
🛡️ 5. Only Buy From Trusted Sellers
No eBay roulette or sketchy "dupe" pages. PocketPerfumes.org guarantees authentic, original fragrances — every single time.
