Buying a fragrance for the woman in your life on Valentine’s Day is one of many romantic gifts you can choose from.

However, if you don’t know what you’re doing, it has the potential to go wrong. So whether you’re buying from a High Street fragrance shop, local pharmacy or online store, what should you bear in mind when choosing a new fragrance for the special lady in your life?

* What fragrances does your partner already have?

If you already know what fragrance your partner particularly likes, you could opt for the safe bet of buying her more of the same.

Remember though, that for Valentine’s Day, your wife or girlfriend will no doubt want to see that you’ve put a bit of thought into buying the right gift. With this in mind, it may be advisable to choose a fragrance you know they haven’t used before.

* Should you risk going for something totally different?

Your partner may like a particular style of fragrance, perhaps those with floral tones. It can be risky to choose something completely different, and you could be accused of just choosing a fragrance you like.

One ...
... way round this problem is to visit a fragrance shop or local pharmacy in person to see if you can get some advice based on the type of fragrance your wife or girlfriend already uses.

* What can you get for your budget?

Quantity versus quality is a big consideration when it comes to fragrance shopping. If you’re on a tight budget for Valentine’s Day, do you buy a larger quantity of a cheap fragrance, or a smaller amount of a high quality one?

* Can you ask a friend what they think of it?

Another way to make sure you get the right fragrance for the lady in your life is to ask one of her friends for help.

They may well have a better idea of what your partner likes when it comes to perfume. You should be aware that this approach could backfire if it ever gets out you had to ask for help with choosing a Valentine’s gift!

* Should you ever buy a fragrance without smelling it first?

There are many shops selling fragrances online, but is it a good idea to buy without smelling a fragrance first?

One thing you could do is go to a High Street store to find out which you like best, before ordering it online.

The Co-operative Pharmacy is a leading UK retailer of fragrances. You can visit their online fragrance shop or pop into any of their branches to buy the right Valentine’s Day present for your wife or girlfriend.
