Looking for the best perfumes in Singapore to gift to your bb this Valentine’s Day? Perfume can be a thoughtful, intimate and sensual gift that evokes passionate feelings.

Choosing the best perfume for women online can be intimidating, especially when you can’t sample the scents before you buy them. While perfume notes can give you an idea of the overall fragrance, it doesn’t give you the full experience of the perfume. Here are some tips we curated to help you narrow down your options when choosing the best women’s perfume in Singapore:
Try out different perfume testers and identify notes that you like. Start with the perfume notes: fruity, floral, woody or fresh. Each perfume has its notes that give it its unique scent. They are categorised into three different layers known as the base, middle and top notes. The base notes linger around the longest and can last up to several hours or days, while the middle notes usually stay for about an hour. The top notes are the most volatile as they are the most exposed to air and usually last about 15 minutes – these are the notes you smell the most when spraying perfume, but they won’t necessarily linger on your skin for long. When picking a perfume, pay attention to the middle and base notes. If these two layers contain notes that you usually enjoy, chances are that this is a perfume you will appreciate!
Most fragrances come in three levels of concentration which determine the strength of the scent and its longevity. For the best women’s perfume that lasts for up to eight hours, go for parfum which boasts the highest concentration. A more affordable and commonly found alternative is eau de parfum (EDP) which will last you a good six hours. Meanwhile, an eau de toilette (EDT) will only last about three to five hours and makes for a good light fragrance for the day.
If you’re wondering if perfumes are just spritz and go, here’s a little trick! Where you apply your perfume and how you apply your perfume can affect its strength and longevity. For example, wearing your perfume on your pulse points (inside your wrists, inner elbows and behind your ear lobes) is known to help diffuse a scent better as these areas emit extra body heat. Find out more about how to properly apply your perfume in the video below.
You can also choose to get a roller bottle such as the VeryJow Roller Bottle (available on veryjow.sg) which is a glass bottle that can hold a liquid mix of essential oils or perfumes. This roller bottle allows for easy application and is a convenient way to apply your perfume.
From sugary sweet scents to strong earthy tones, we hope our guide to the best women’s perfume in Singapore has helped you find your very own signature scent or a scent for someone special!
