Buying tips for perfumes with bourbon vanilla
Check the concentration. Most of the perfumes here are EDP. Eau de parfum and parfum usually last longer and cost more than eau de toilette, and each perfume page lists the exact concentration.
Consider a decant or a travel size if the full bottle is expensive. It lets you live with the scent for a week before spending real money.
Moisturise before you spray. Perfume holds far better on hydrated skin, and an unscented lotion can add hours to a scent that otherwise fades quickly.
