well, you should have an idea of what she wears.
I personally don't like over powering ones or very strong smelling ones - they tend to give me a headache.
There are perfumes I used to wear years ago that are too strong for me now.
I like subtle ones, so go for something you know she like & you'll have to get to like it! lol
& just in case you don't know - I'm a female!

Perfume is a very individual thing...both physically and emotionally. It will react differently on everyone's skin-so it is no good buying something because it smells good on someone else. Also...never go by how it smells in the bottle,or or on one of those little tester cards. It has got to be on the skin for several hours to get the true effect.
I would definitely leave the choice to her...it could be a very costly mistake otherwise.

Most women have a favourite perfume. Mine is by Issey Miyake. I would hate it if someone bought me a perfume just because they liked it. Have you considered buying her body lotions, bath oils etc to match her favourite fragrance. These are things I wouldn't feel justified in buying myself, but would love it if someone bought them for me. Good luck. Merry Christmas.

I have been wearing Opium by Yves Sain Laurent for years & it's the only one that I particularly like & which suits me.
My husband has always liked it too & when I was at work & even now, so many people ask what perfume I'm wearing.
Years ago, my husband used to buy me Picot by Pagan, which was equally as nice, but they stopped selling it.

What smells nice on one person might smell awful on another - it's a very personal thing. So what smells nice on the woman at work or the girl on the perfume counter won't necessarily be the same on your girlfriend.
I'd suggest you ask her (or her friend or a member of her family) what her favourite is. Either that or discreetly riffle through her bathroom cupboard or her handbag. She will appreciate this far more than a surprise bottle of something you like.
