Best Evening Perfumes For Women

By Margarita Nahapetyan

When it comes to selecting a perfume, the most important thing is to know where you are going to wear it. Most retailers mention in the description of their product whether a particular fragrance is for day or evening use. Whether you are interested in stronger notes or prefer more subtle scents, you will always be able to find a great variety of appropriate choices for evening wear.

In general, women are inclined to think that evening scents must be deep, romantic and enigmatic, but the truth is that many scents can work for the occasion. For a romantic evening or just a party with friends, a completely different scent can be selected. Luxurious floral fragrances are just as good for the night out as they are for the day wear, and you can also wear something rich with woody or oriental notes. Many companies create fragrances that carry genius blends of various notes. Here are a few scents in various categories that are ideal for evening wear:
