How to choose a perfume online

A simple way to choose a perfume online in Pakistan: understand top, heart and base notes, match the season and test before committing to a full bottle.

Read the notes

Top notes are what you smell first (citrus, fruit). Heart notes appear after about half an hour (flowers, spice). Base notes stay longest (woods, amber, musk, vanilla).

Match the season

Fresh citrus and green notes for summer. Amber, vanilla, woods and incense for winter and evenings.

Match the moment

Office: clean and close to skin. Weddings and dinners: richer and warmer.

Test for a full day

Try one scent per day on skin, not paper. Judge it in the afternoon, not in the first minute.
