How to Choose
Choosing a new perfume ultimately comes down to personal habits and preferences.
Krigler shares, I still prefer sprays because they apply scent in a more glamorous way.
The point is, theres no right or wrong choice.
However, factors like concentration, alcohol content, and fragrance preferences can help guide your decision.
Krigler explains that alcohol-based spray perfumes offer the best preservation, lasting longer than roll-ons or solid perfumes.
Based on Occasion
Ornst recommends shopping for fragrances based on the season.

Sprays are versatile for any occasion and can easily be reapplied.If you still cant decide, Ornst suggestslayering.
