MAIN Shopping Fashion & Clothing Perfume & Cologne

To wear to that special event, to give as a gift, or just for everyday - get on the scent to great online shopping for the best women's perfumes and men's colognes and aftershaves at the best prices.

• Fragrances are often described like fine wine - with top, middle and base notes that describe which scents are released as you wear them.
• Remember, before you settle on a perfume and cologne for yourself, try wearing it for several hours to interact with your unique skin chemistry. What smells good on your friends may not offer the same results for you!
• The general variety of fragrances for women from strongest to weakest: perfume, eau de perfume, eau de toilette and cologne.
• For men, it's cologne or eau de toilette (basically the same in strength) and then aftershave, which only lasts or several hours.

A good online buying tip is to choose a site that sells a variety of scents, and searchable under a variety of criteria such as brand, men's or women's fragrances, gift sets, clearances, etc. One site may have slightly higher prices but provide free shipping or gift wrapping, while another may offer a greater range of scents. As with anything else, it really pays to shop around for the perfect fragrance for yourself, or as a gift.
