What's Good at Sephora: Fragrance

What's good at Sephora (besides everything)? Perfumes and colognes! There are so many yummy scents coming out and there are some great ones that have been out for awhile. The best part is that you can go to Sephora and get samples of the ones that you like. There is a scent for everyone: fruity, floral, fresh and everything in between (you'll notice that I omitted spicy and powdery because I don't like them). If any of you have ever wondered "what's the difference between Eau de Toilette and Eau de Parfum?" Eau de Toilette has been diluted with either water or alcohol and Eau de Parfum is the concentrated scent and it will stay on your skin longer but tends to be a little more expensive. Also when you spray perfume on your wrists DO NOT rub them together pat them together instead. If you rub your wrists together it can change the scent and make it go away more quickly.
