The answer is: as many as you wish to. Of course, this is not a question for a perfume collector. If you are not one of those rare lucky persons which have one perfume that has become like a ‘fragrant id card’, then better do not try to look for such a perfume for years. You can have a perfume for a particular season, evening, to the office, for yourself, for special occasions and for good mood. It is good to have perfumes of different fragrant groups, because your mood and circumstances may be different. A rational perfume wardrobe may include a fresh fragrance (citrus, water-like, light fruity) for warm weather and sports; it is good to have two day-perfumes, for the work and for socializing with friends, and two evening-perfumes, one for more official and another for more intimate occasion. However, this is just a tip for those with more rational approach to perfumes. At the end, a perfume is to such a degree intimate and personal detail, so that the choice should be yours only.
The best way to test a perfume is to apply it on the skin, or, if you do not feel like applying it on your skin, smell it from a blotter. When you smell a perfume directly from the bottle, you will mainly feel the odor of alcohol and the top notes scent. Perfume should be allowed to unite with your skin, what takes 10-15 minutes after it was applied. The best thing to do is to take a walk and snuffle the perfumed spot on your skin from time to time. Do not try to test more than three perfumes one after another, as your olfactory sense can not take more than that. After smelling several perfumes you will not be able to capture their essence.
How to choose a perfume? The choice of perfume is very personal and subjective matter. Our advice is to primarily listen to your own feelings, inner world and ideals, as your perfume should be a part of your style. Very often, perfumes may ajar the door to the hidden corners of your soul, and tell a lot about your character and desires. Handy thing is to get free perfume samples and test fragrance for couple of days before you decide to buy it or not.
