Picking a new perfume is hard because scents smell different on different people — so you need to wear a fragrance for a few days before you know if it suits you.

If you can’t convince a cosmetics saleswoman to give you a sample vial of a fragrance you’d like to try, you can buy them online at Fragrance Monkey instead — and most are under $5. While that’s a lot for a few drops of perfume, it’s much cheaper than buying a big bottle that doesn’t suit you!

(My pick: Boss Intense for US$4.70.)
