How to Choose Which Perfume is Right for Your Girlfriend

Women love perfume and gifting her with a scent this Christmas will have her thanking you for the rest of the year. The best way you can choose a perfume for your lady is to match it to her personality. Whether she's flirty, sophisticated, laid-back or a total diva, there is a scent out there for her.

The difference between eau de toilette and eau de parfum is the percent of concentration. Eau de toilette has a lower concentration which makes for a lighter scent that doesn't linger as long. There won't usually be more than a few dollars price difference between the two.

1. Light Blue by Dolce & Gabbana

A very sophisticated scent that's not at all overpowering, but rather light and refreshing with a citrus twist. This is a fragrance that she can wear everyday without finding herself becoming bored of it.

2. Shalimar by Guerlain

No, this fragrance isn't only for old ladies; it's been around since 1921 and will always be a classic. Women of all decades have fallen in love with its voluptuous, warm scent. With hints of vanilla and cinnamon, it's a timeless spicy fragrance.

3. Touch of Pink by Lacoste

Any woman who wears this scent will feel independent, its fragrance hints of floral captivation. This would be an excellent choice for a girly girl.

4. Pure Poison by Dior

This is a very mysterious, seductive scent that will have anyone smelling it, craving more. With twists of orange, jasmine, and sandalwood, this fragrance is both musky and florally. This would defiantly suit a girl with a daring attitude.

5. Princess by Vera Wang

Defiantly one of my favorite fragrances made. Its tropical blend of sweetness will have any girl feeling like the Princess she truly knows that she is. Not overbearing at all, a very hypnotizing oriental scent with a kick of fruitiness. Great for both winter and summer, and the bottle is very adorable.

If you're just not sure which type of scent your girl likes, when she's not looking, look at her bathroom or vanity countertop. Just make sure you don't get caught, she may assume your snooping for something and get upset. If she has a favorite perfume or a scent she wears often, buy her that and you'll be sure not to go wrong.

Fragrances women choose to wear will reflect the style of clothes she wears, what she accessorizes with, and what her personality is like. When you pick a perfume for your girl, make sure its something that not only you like, but that she will be sure to love.
