Think about your climate. Heat and humidity shorten how long most perfumes last, so check the hot and humid longevity score before you choose a bottle for daily wear.
Change one thing at a time. If you are building a collection, add one new style at a time so you learn what you actually reach for.
Test before you commit. A perfume smells different on paper, on a friend and on your own skin, and it keeps changing for hours. Try a sample or a small bottle first, and wear it for a full day before you decide.
