Sniff sniff.

Sniff sniff. Sniff sniff.

The Hierarchy
Top Notes.

Base Notes.

The Highs.

The Sub-names.

The Pulse Points.

And now, choosing a good fragrance.

1) Spray the fragrance on a blotter strip, or ideally on your wrist (if it’s not already adulterated).
2) Wait for a few minutes (about 3 to 4) for the top notes to fade away.
3) Bring your wrist / strip closer to your nose.
4) Sniff. Sniff. Urrgh. / Sniff. Sniff. Aaah.
5) Now decide.


Inference: If it provokes you, then that’s the one for you. If doesn’t, try taming your sweat glands.

Sniff. Sniff.
