Whether bar or club hopping with your pals, or on a hot date, or even in a business presentation, you got to smell and look right. To smell right means to know the best perfumes suited for the occasion. To the layman, the best of perfumes would all seem to have dark, smoky and woody feel to them. However, fun fact; the most enthralling perfumes aren’t always the dark and woody. You can’t smell the same in a club and a board meeting!

No matter how important choosing a perfume may be, stepping up to the fragrance counter in a mall is a daunting experience. The market is over-crowded with options across various quality and price. You would often end up with some seriously dubious aromas before settling on something you chose for the sexy bottle design. That’s where expert advice comes in handy.
