Definitely, you can’t buy it random. Of course it won’t be easy to guess someone’s taste, and the risk of not fitting him it’s very big. If u can’t find any clue from the one you want to surprise him, you will have to look for other signs.
What kind of music she/he listen? Classical music goes with floral perfumes - even oriental - or fruity. If listen to rock, indy or pop, your friend could prefer fruity aromas, and for a rythm& blues lover you can try an oriental perfume. Of course if you know for sure that is a fan of a certain star, and this one “signs” a perfume then you are saved!
Favorite color Here it’s pretty simple, because colors impact is in general very strong. You can choose a perfume by the recipient color, or you can try testing the ingredients after color. If she prefers yellow, it’s obvious that you can go with fruits, for pink choose a floral scent, for green a natural perfume or based on green plants. The specialists recommends woody perfumes or oriental for the amateurs or red. Even blue it’s an important clue, because you can choose a perfume with marine accents.
What kind of activities she/he has? She/he loves to stay on the beach, for sure will love a fresh perfume, with marine notes. Woody aroma will fit perfectly on a strong and active woman, but for a spoiled girl, looking for relaxation, the perfect perfume will be the one with fruity aroma. A devoted sport woman, amateur of journeys, can wear an oriental perfume.
