Buying tips

• For daily use: roll-on or gentle spray from trusted mass brands (Dove, Nivea, Enchanteur).
• For lasting impact: body sprays from Fogg/Wild Stone or designer EDPs (CK, Hugo Boss).
• For natural preference: The Body Shop, Aroma Magic, Biotique.
• For premium/occasion wear: designer labels (Gucci, Dior, Chanel) or niche Indian houses (Bombay Perfumery, Ajmal for rich orientals).
• Check formulation (alcohol content, antiperspirant vs deodorant), skin sensitivity, and fragrance family (citrus, woody, oriental, floral) before buying.

If you want, I can:

• Narrow this to “top sellers by sales” or “best for men/women” in India (would require up-to-date market data).
• Suggest specific fragrance recommendations for your taste (fresh, woody, sweet, spicy).
