You’ll never hear us dissuade purchasing a perfume gift set for anyone on your list, be it a fragrance for your girlfriend, boyfriend, or cousin. Sure, hair gifts, makeup gift sets, spa gifts, and bath bombs are more straightforward ideas to nail (and check out these gifts for women), but the best perfume gift sets truly raise the bar. They are an extremely thoughtful and personal gift option that elicits much more than a scent. Fragrances can transport us to another time and place, reminding us of a distant memory or a loved one in a way so few other gifts can — making it a winning beauty gift.
More from WWD
“Fragrance is truly a personal gift for a loved one, as it shows thought was put into the purchase,” says Leigh Quilhot, Senior Director of Merchandising at Bluemercury. “Scent is closely linked with memory, in ways that the gift of fragrance can evoke nostalgic emotions of a trip or transport them back to a special moment in their lives. Fragrance is also strongly tied to self-care. It could be the ritual of lighting a candle at the end of the day or taking a moment to spritz yourself with your favorite scent. Fragrance is extremely visual, whether it’s the glass bottle of perfume sitting on top of your vanity or a ceramic candle on your coffee table. It’s a gift that has a daily presence in the lives of loved ones — and perfect for Instagram, too!”
What makes perfume gift sets even more exciting during the holiday is that you can nab limited-edition options that aren’t available the rest of the year. “The holidays are a fun time for fragrance as we are seeing limited-edition packaging, artist collaborations, and new formats that will be only available during the holidays,” Quilhot says. “Giving the gift of wellness also has come through in fragrance — we love the idea of gifting your loved one an aromatherapy-inspired gift, such as a gorgeous stone diffuser from Vitruvi. We are continuing to see home fragrance double as home décor. The vessels from our new brands L’objet and Harlem Candle Co., along with limited-edition holiday candles from Diptyque, NEST, and LAFCO, are so gorgeous you’ll want to reuse them long after the wax has burned down.”
So keep scrolling because, lucky for you, we’ve narrowed your perfume options with our guide to the 40 best fragrance gift sets for everyone in your life.
