Dramatic orientals are often favorites. Redheads - have extremely fair and delicate skin which may be incompatible with fragrances which have predominant green notes. Fragrances don't last forever. There are certain precautions, however, that will ensure the quality of the fragrance. Keep the bottle in a dry, dark place.
Heat can also destroy a fragrance so keep it from extreme temperatures.
Fragrances usually last 3 years from the date they were manufactured, not the day you buy it. Certain clearance centers carry bottles that are at least 2 or 3 years old. Buy from department stores and reputable perfumeries to ensure the quality of the fragrance.
