With the market being profuse by way of a wide array of perfumes, it is not surprising that people tend to get confused while zeroing on the right one. Apart from price and brand names, there are many other points that are to be considered while buying one. Here are a few categories which I use personally:
French types: Most of the perfumes from France have a sort of trademark character to them. The fragrances are soft, floral, and tend to favor the powdery. These stand for sophistication, feminity, and charm. French scents tend to be more mature and are great for women in the business world or females with classic tastes and sensibilities. E.g. Chanel, Nina Ricci, Yves St. Laurent.
American types: These ones tend to favor orange and citrus notes, or have exuberant florals. Most women can wear these fragrances as they tend to compliment most skin chemistries. e.g. 'Beautiful' by Estee Lauder, Romance by Ralph Lauren, Eternity and Obsession by Calvin Klein.
Fresh scented types: These ones are designed to smell like soap or clean air. The best example in this range is Grace by Philosophy etc. Calvin Klein's One is the brand I prefer to buy in this category as it is both a mens' perfume as well as womens' perfume.
Based on occasions: You should always wear perfumes based on different occasions. Some are a lot heavier than others. Light and refreshing fragrances are good for daytime wear and the summer months, whereas warmer, more sensual scents are perfect for evenings and special occasions e.g. the Little black dress perfume or Elizabeth Ardens Provocative woman. Wear scents like chocolate, strawberry or fruity smells for a day out at the beach. Whereas, if you are in a business meeting you need to keep it subtle and go for musky, woody and more earthy scents.
Whatever perfume you wear always remember overdoing it only makes it uncomfortable for others in the vicinity. Just remember, you just have to spread a whiff not reinforce your brand.
However, this list is not exhaustive so I recommend buying cheaper testers or handbag-sized bottles. This can be a great way of trying something new without spending a fortune.
I prefer online marts to shop for perfumes, as they come with a great variety and with heavy discounts for time to time. Try online if you know your personal choice and of course read the description properly that is offered along with it!
