Finding a good perfume sounds easy — after all, shouldn’t bestsellers be the best ones? — but it can actually be a difficult, time-consuming and occasionally mood-killing venture. You do the work, researching the best smells that “suit” your interests, only to have the perfume be an overpowering and headache-inducing flop. Ugh!
Don’t worry, we’ve all been there — especially when perfume shopping online. If you’re looking for a perfume that’s light, delicate, sweet and not too seasonal, you’re in the right place! We went through the struggle of online perfume shopping so you don’t have to and found six “safe” scents you’ll be wearing all year round. These are guaranteed winners!
Read on for our fail-proof picks. We adore them all!
