My Top 2 Perfume Blind Buys (for Her)

Just as we have our taste in partners both men and women, the same can be said about our taste in perfumes. We look for fragrances with notes we love, that project into the air awesomely, have great longevity and gather tons of compliments. Sometimes, we are not sure what perfumes to scent like especially when there is no scent sample. We might be buying this for a friend as a gift or even for ourselves or whatever else the circumstances might be, but we still proceed to blindly buy the perfume.

Blind buying is purchasing a perfume without having an idea what it scents like on the skin. With blind buys, it is usually a hit or miss. You either end up liking the perfume and feeling on top of the world with your choice, or hating the scent of the perfume and swearing heaven and earth never to buy perfumes you don’t know what they scent like.

However, Some perfumes are A1 blind buys. You will encounter zero or little regrets buying them because they have success rates and generally have notes or ingredients that appeal to a lot of people. I have listed my top 3 blind buys feminine perfumes. These perfumes generally appeal to a lot of people and in most cases, you can’t go wrong with them.

Scandal by Jean Paul Gaultier


Scandal by Jean Paul Gaultier is a Chypre Floral fragrance for women. The top notes are Blood Orange and Mandarin Orange; the middle notes are Honey, Gardenia, Orange Blossom, Jasmine and Peach; the base notes are Beeswax, Caramel, Patchouli and Licorice. This Perfume will get you noticed and get you the compliments and she will have all the boys running to your yard. The other thing to know about Scandal–it’s not subtle. Don’t expect anything subtle. Jean Paul Gaultier doesn’t do “subtle.” The kicking showgirl legs on the topper should be enough to tell you that “Scandal” is not a subtle, quiet, fade-in-the-background everyday perfume. This perfume is a blind buy. You are bound to love it. The bottling looks nice and inviting and the scent is even the same. A definite win in my books. Ten out of Ten.

L’Interdit Eau de Parfum by Givenchy


L’Interdit Eau de Parfum by Givenchy is an Amber Floral fragrance for women. The top notes are Pear and Bergamot; the middle notes are Tuberose, Orange Blossom and Jasmine Sambac; the base notes are Patchouli, Vanilla, Ambroxan and Vetiver. Adjectives to describe this perfume are innumerable but let’s start with unforgettable, intense, addictive and fearlessly elegant. If you like the projection of your perfume to be discovered, then this perfume would shame you on that front as it would announce you as quickly as you step into a space. With a few sprits of this perfume, you are bound to get tons of compliments from everyone around you.
