Before buying a cologne or eau de toilette it is important to know your skin type first. Some skins are very sensitive that they develop rashes whenever it is sprayed with perfume. If you have acidic skin, then expect some scents to have a different smell on your skin.
After learning your skin type, then it is time to decide the scent. There are different fragrances you can choose from. Some examples of these are floral, fruity, musk, wood, spice, exotic or unisex.

If you cannot find one then you can always buy online. There are a lot of online stores that have promos or offer inexpensive perfumes. Just be careful on differentiating original EDT from the fake ones.
