Perfumes smell different on everyone, so it’s important to test them out before purchasing a whole bottle. Head to your local beauty counter and ask for samples of the perfumes you’re interested in. It’s okay to experiment – you won’t know which scent will be your perfect match until you try a few!

One of the hardest things about shopping for perfume online is figuring out whether a scent will smell good on you. Sure, you can smell it on a shelf, but when it’s behind a screen – how can you tell? Fortunately, with Dossier, all orders are covered under a 100% risk-free policy. If you don’t like a scent you purchased online, simply return it within 30 days for a full refund, no questions asked.

If you want a perfume that lasts all day, something with a higher concentration of perfume oil (such as an eau de parfum) is generally a good bet. The only thing to keep in mind with these more concentrated blends is that they tend to be more expensive compared to their less concentrated counterparts.
