× Actually it's a no for me because I'm very sensitive to the fragments, which is hard.
✓ Actually, it's a no for me because I'm very sensitive to the fragrances, which is hard.
The word 'fragments' is incorrect here; the correct word is 'fragrances' which refers to scents or smells. This is a vocabulary error related to adjective use.
× That perfume was so smooth, soft, it was sweet and the fragments was really nice, very soft.
✓ That perfume was so smooth, soft, it was sweet and the fragrances were really nice, very soft.
The word 'fragments' should be 'fragrances' and since it is plural, the verb should be 'were' instead of 'was' to agree in number.
× So I used it twice when I went.
✓ So I used it twice when I went out.
The sentence is incomplete; 'went' usually requires an object or adverb to complete the meaning. Adding 'out' clarifies the action in past tense.
× Umm yeah, the soft ones only because I am very sensitive to the strong fragments, so I used the smooth and the sweet flavor perfume when I go to shopping or visiting my siblings.
✓ Umm yeah, the soft ones only because I am very sensitive to strong fragrances, so I use the smooth and sweet scented perfume when I go shopping or visit my siblings.
Again, 'fragments' should be 'fragrances'. Also, 'flavor' is incorrect for perfume; 'scented' or 'fragrance' is appropriate. The verb tense should be present tense 'use' and 'go shopping' and 'visit' are correct forms.
× And also my friends called Sabina, she likes perfume very much and I'm planning to buy perfume for her birthday gift.
✓ Also, my friend called Sabina likes perfume very much and I'm planning to buy perfume as a birthday gift for her.
The phrase 'my friends called Sabina' is incorrect; it should be 'my friend called Sabina' (singular). Also, 'birthday gift for her' is better expressed as 'perfume as a birthday gift for her'.
× I think it's depend on brands what kind of perfume they use.
✓ I think it depends on the brand what kind of perfume they use.
'It's depend' is incorrect; the verb should be 'depends' to agree with singular subject 'it'. Also, 'brands' should be singular 'brand' to match the context.
× There are many expensive brands that I haven't used in my life.
✓ There are many expensive brands that I haven't used in my life.
This sentence is correct; no correction needed.
× I always prefer the affordable ones and those who can afford they might buy expensive ones.
✓ I always prefer the affordable ones, and those who can afford might buy expensive ones.
The phrase 'those who can afford they might buy' is incorrect; the pronoun 'they' is unnecessary and causes redundancy. Removing 'they' corrects the sentence.
