Whether it’s Christmas, a birthday, or just a regular calendar day, there’s nothing quite like opening a new bottle of perfume. Just imagine it: ripping open the luxurious box, taking in the initial aroma, and carefully placing the decorative bottle onto your vanity. Of course, unboxing a skincare set or a brand new pouch of makeup brushes is equally as exciting, but fragrance makes for a perfect gift—especially for any friends or family looking to expand their palette. It’s a decisive yet personal gift that requires some thought (but not too much, with our help).
That being said, the fragrance market can be intimidating. There are hundreds, if not thousands, of fragrances to choose from. From celebrity names to extreme luxury, and new indie scents with killer marketing, how does one choose? That’s where we come in. We’re fragrance experts and have tested a hefty chunk of the market. While fragrances can be deeply personal, we’ve also studied the market to find the best, most crowd-pleasing options. Each one is unique from composition to packaging. Whether you are looking for something woodsy and warm or something bright and floral to gift, we’ve got you covered with 24 different options from brands like Dior, Jo Malone, and Givenchy.
