I liked the scent well enough when I used the paper tester

Most Europeans instantly "get" the concept of duty-free shopping because it is customary in Europe to add the tax to the purchase price that appears on the label michael kors bags. Thus, seeing the price without the tax added in shows the discount quite plainly. In the U.S., sales tax is a lot more sneaky. It does not appear until you're standing at the checkout when it is just tacked on to the purchase price michael kors bags. Buying duty-free eliminates the tax. Of course, in the U.S. you could also go online and buy perfume from an out-of-state vendor and in that way avoid paying sales tax. However, you'll get dinged with shipping and handling charges.

 When you buy something duty free, you are paying only what the merchandise cost. Even if you don't get a penny off the retail price of your next bottle of Chanel or Michael Kors or DKNY Be Delicious, you'll still leave the store paying less than you would have using more traditional outlets. Another great reason to buy perfume on a cruise ship is that you can really try it before you buy it michael kors bags. You can pop into the cruise shop, get a spritz on the scent you're considering, and then wear it for the day. Women of fragrance can tell you that sniffing at a perfume in the bottle or spritzing it on a paper strip are useful, but there is no truer test to whether or not you'll love a new scent than actually wearing it for a few hours.

 I had that experience with Cinema by Yves St. Laurent. I liked the scent well enough when I used the paper tester strip but there were many other perfumes that seemed more intriguing and interesting. Yet when I did a "test" of wearing Cinema for an afternoon, I found that I loved the scent. The range of perfumes your cruise ship will carry will depend on the cruise line michael kors bags. Most cruise ships manage to stock a pretty decent range of products. Look for some big names (Givenchy, Chanel, Lancome, and so on) and some newer names (DKNY, Michael Kors, Vera Wang).
