How to gift fragrance this Christmas

How do you figure out what fragrance someone likes?

Since fragrance preferences are so personal, selecting the right scent can be a bit tricky. Here are some strategies to help:

Observe their preferences: Notice the kinds of scents they gravitate towards in home fragrance, beauty and self care products. Do they enjoy floral, fresh scents or deeper, spicier aromas?

Consider their style and personality: Fragrances can often align with a person’s style or personality. For example: someone who opts for neutral tones and loves cosy, minimalist settings might prefer soft or sweet scents, while someone with a vibrant, maximalist style might be drawn to bold or adventurous fragrances.

Listen to their stories: Think about places they’ve travelled or special memories they often talk about. Scents that remind them of a favourite destination or beloved season can make for a meaningful gift.

Choose versatility: Still unsure? Choose fragrances with versatile notes, such as fresh citrus or warm amber, that appeal to a broad range of preferences. It’s a safer choice, but still makes for a beautifully personal gift. Alternatively, our perfume Creation Sets allow them to choose their favourite Essentials and experiment, blending them together to create their own personal fragrances.

With these tips in mind, let’s explore our fragrance gift guide to help you find the perfect match.
