A line can also include body lotions, soaps, bath salts, body mist and body oils. When a line gives you this many offerings, it allows you to have what's known as a scent wardrobe. With a scent wardrobe you layer one on top of the other enhancing the beauty of the perfume and its expression when you wear it.

When you're looking to test a new perfume there are a few tips to consider before you purchase:

* Always test perfume on your skin, not your girlfriend’s skin. Some companies provide blotters, they’re fine for an initial whiff but the true essence will emerge when you try a perfume on your skin.

* Never test after you've eaten strongly flavored foods, like garlic or spicy foods.

*Never test after a vigorous workout

*If you're ill or haven't quite recovered wait to test a new perfume, your body chemistry is not yet balanced.

*Never test a perfume if you've just been smoking.
