Well..you first have to see what type does this woman prefer? Citrus, flowery, candy like and so forth! Next you have to know if this person has some type of skin oder. Like most people some perfumes go good on most people, however others the smell is not the same once on the skin. For instance I have a rose smelling perfume, and my aunt loves the smell, but when she sprays it on her...well the smell is not as pleasant! Each body aspires differently. I prefer smelling on an older woman Daisy from Marc Jacobs, very pleasant and not overwhelming. I also know that some women I have been around like Joy by Jean Patou. That has been around for some time. :o) Hope any of this helps! :o)
