When you need to purchase a gift for a woman, you can never go wrong with her favorite perfume. If you do not know what her favorite perfume is, however, your safest bet is to go with one of the 5 most popular perfumes for women. At worst, if she doesn’t like it, she can probably exchange it.

The Difference between Perfume and Cologne
Cologne and Perfume are not the same thing. Toilet water is not perfume or cologne. Only perfume is perfume, and when purchasing a gift for a woman, you can be certain that she knows the difference. Unfortunately, if you are the one making the purchase, perfume is always more expensive than lesser forms of the fragrance.
Perfume should always be the choice when there is a choice. It is also important to note that even top selling perfumes have lesser counterparts by the same name; except that the bottle or packaging will clearly state that it is cologne, instead of perfume. If you are not sure, ask a salesperson.
The Five Most Popular Perfumes for Women
- Coco Chanel – You can never go wrong with a Chanel fragrance. Most women adore the scents of the entire Chanel line. Coco Chanel Perfume has a very light scent that is just slightly musky, without being overly flowery or fruity.
- Chanel No. 5 – Chanel No. 5, also made by Chanel, is considered a classic perfume among women. It has a very clean scent that is not musky, fruity, nor sweet.
- White Diamonds by Elizabeth Taylor – White Diamonds is a very sophisticated perfume, and one of the nicer things about it is that it is less expensive than many other perfumes. Regardless of the lower cost, it is still a quality scent that most women like.
- Pour Femme by Dolce & Gabbana – The scent of Pour Femme is not fruity or flowery. Instead, it has a clean scent that most women – and men – find to be quite sensuous.
- Obsession by Calvin Klein – This is another perfume that is becoming a classic. It has a very sensuous, sexy fragrance to it, but again, it isn’t flowery or fruity.
How Much Should You Buy?
Perfume is typically sold by the ounce, and it is usually prepackaged. This means that you are limited to the amount that you can purchase per bottle. Because the best perfumes can be incredibly expensive, go with what you can afford to spend, as most women do not purchase these expensive perfumes for themselves. The gift will most likely be well appreciated, even if you only purchase half an ounce.
