These days perfumes are bought online as well as in department stores. Many online perfume stores like Perfume.com, Perfume Emporium, ScentMonkey are completely devoted to selling perfumes. We have still the counters of Givenchy, Chanel and others in the great department stores in New York, London and Paris but online perfume stores are important too. And the two complement each other. They are both important for the future of the perfume market.

Yes, perfumes have to be tested and smelt. The woman has to wear the perfume and feel it on her and that is why department stores are important. However, online perfume stores are important too. Online perfume stores can offer large savings on your favorite perfume. Information on the perfume, their notes and effects is available: Also what type of woman the perfume is for as well as the views of other purchasers. Perfumes are an integral part of the whole beauty industry. We want to analyse beauty and we want to analyse then our perfumes. Online perfume stores allow us to do this. However the scent must be tested and that is why department stores and online perfume stores complement each other.
When we think of perfume stores, we think of the online perfume stores like Vintage Perfume, Perfume Emporium, Perfume.com and Scentmonkey. A perfume store is a place to buy perfume but the great department stores with their counters of Dior are not stores. They are places to test perfumes and in that way they are not stores. Nowadays, perfume stores are really the online stores like VintagePerfume.co.uk which have filled a gap in the market and opened up the luxury market of perfume.

Indeed, a perfume store is a place where you can buy from all brands and select the perfumes you want and if we think of a perfume store, online stores like VintagePerfume.co.uk fit that definition. Here there is a wide spectrum of perfumes. And you have access to views from other customers on perfumes. Yes, views on perfumes are subjective. Some women like a certain perfume and then some dislike it. Some think a perfume is too flowery but others are able to catch a woody tone in the scent.
You can't beat the sheer luxury of department stores with their counters of Chanel, Dior, Guerlain and others. Yes you have to test the perfume and 'wear' it and the disadvantage of such online perfume stores is that you can't test the perfume You want to find the latest perfume and you want to test the perfume for yourself. The department store allows you to do this. Nothing beats seeing and testing the perfume for yourself.
However there are a number of advantages to counter this. Online perfume stores offer a wealth of information and they facilitate comparison of prices between perfumes. If a perfume is not available in your local store, it is probably available online. The list of perfumes in some online stores like PerfumeEmporium is massive and these stores allow you to trawl through the site searching for a suitable romantic perfume or a good floral daytime fragrance. Online perfume stores are up-to-date too and they offer a customized service. Perfume stores like Vintage Perfume,Perfume.com. PerfumeEmporium and ScentMonkey cater for all tastes from the connoisseur in perfumes to the woman who simply wants to find a good daytime fragrance for work.
