Christmas Gift Guide: Fragrance

 Welcome back to my penultimate Gift Guide. Today I'm talking you through some of the many fragrance gifsets for both ladies and gents that the market has to offer.

Nina Ricci Luna EDT 50ml Gift Set £46: With notes of caramel and vanilla, this scent is a little heavier than others but not ridiculously overpowering that you can't wear it. Plus the bottle is gorgeous and the whole giftset is very asthetically pleasing.
Jean Paul Gaultier Scandal EDP 50ml Gift Set £63: JPL's latest fragrance is very reminscent of Paco Rabanne's Olympea but not as heavy or heady. It's one of the slightly more expensive gift sets but it's opulent looking bottle and packaging is well worth every penny.
Yves Saint Laurent Opium EDT 30ml Gift Set £44: Opium is a classic scent and reminds me a lot of my mum. It's the perfect scent for the more mature lady as it has a heaviness to it that gives it a real oomph but it's not overpowering to the point where you can't wear it.

Marc Jacobs Decadence EDP 50ml Gift Set £71: With woody amber notes this fragrance is the ultimate indulgent fragrance. It smells sexy, feminine and classic all at once. Perfect for any girl bosses you know who love to smell great as they take on the world.
Kenzo Kenzo World EDP 50ml Gift Set £63: I have to admit that the bottle was the first thing that caught my eye with this fragrance. But when I looked into it, it's floral notes with hints of Amber and Rose reminded me of a Rosie For Autograh fragrance I adore. And if it smells anything like that you're onto a winner.
Gucci Gucci Bloom EDP 50ml Gift Set £72: Last year I was obsessed with Gucci Bamboo but this year it's been taken over by Gucci's latest fragrance. With notes of white floral and tuber rose this perfume is a hard hitter but not over powering or headache inducing. It's little expensive but it's what I've come to expect from Gucci.

And if full sized gift sets aren't someone's thing or you're not too sure of what scent they like then these miniature selection scents are the perfect gift. 

Diptyque Fragrance Gift Set £75: Contains five rollerballs of Diptyques famous fragrances including Philosykos and Vetyverio. More on the pricey side but a good idea if you're doing one more luxury present instead of a bunch of smaller inexpensive presents.
Estee Lauder Fragrance Treasures Gift Set £37: If you know someone who is a fan of Estee Lauder but don't know their fragrance preference then this set of four generously sized Estee Lauder fragrances would be perfect. Including Modern Muse and their classic Pleasures perfume, I'm sure this is bound to make someone's Christmas.
Jo Malone London Crazy Colourful Cracker £34: If you know someone who has shown an interest in Jo Malone but hasn't wanted to spend on themselves this cracker is perfect. With three different beauty miniatures in three famous scents, this little cracker will give someone that feel of indulgence without breaking the bank.

 Lancome Mini EDP Fragrance Collection £29: Contains five miniatures of Lancome fragrances including La Vie Est Belle and O De Lancome. A brilliant priced set for a higher end/luxury brand with generous sized bottles to really get a feel for the fragrance.
Gucci Miniatures Gift Set £32.50: Now if the full sized Bloom gift set wasn't for you but you still know someone who'll like it then save yourself some money and pick up this gift set. Not only do you get Bloom but you also get Bamboo, Gucci Guilty and Flora Gardenia for the fraction of the price.
House of Juicy Couture Deluxe Mini EDP Set £30: If you know someone who's a fan of Juicy Couture but find it hard to remember which one is their favourite then this set of four is brilliant. Including Viva La Juicy this little set is not only cute but well worth it's not ridiculously high price tag.

And if you're struggling to find a fragrance for the man in your life then I thought I'd throw together a few that I like the smell of to help you out. 

Paco Rabanne Invictus 50ml Gift Set £47: If you know a gent who's a fan of Paco Rabanne but don't want to join the fad that is One Million then give Invictus a go. A little fresher and marine based then One Million, this scent is one who like more clean cut an fresh scents.
Hugo Boss The Scent 50ml Gift Set £49: If you like Boss Bottled but don't want to buy the same fragrance again this year try the The Scent. One of the newer scents from Hugo Boss, it's aromatic and spicy scent is a contrast to Boss Bottled but still clean enough to not be heady or overpowering.
Versace Eros Gift Set £39: If the man in your life like a heavier, spicier fragrance then Versace Eros if for them. It's a slightly smaller bottle than you'd usually get but because this is such a strong fragrance, a little is all that is needed. So essentially it's going to last longer than others as less is needed to smell great.
Dolce And Gabbana The One Gift Set £51: Now if you want to spoilt the gent in your life The One from D&G is the one (excuse the pun). It's spicy notes with hints of amber and tobacco makes this a stunning gents scent that oozes sensuality and will make your man smell absolutely divine.

Paco Rabanne Pure XS 50ml Gift Set £47: The newest scent from Paco Rabanne has a sexy undertone to it. It's not overly heady or heavy but is one that you'll definitely be able to smell for hours.
Joop Homme Gift Set £42: If you want to go down a classic route for your dad or older sibling then Joop is the way to go. The classic homme scent is a bestseller and classic scent that stands the test of time. The gift set is a 75ml bottle which comes in around the same price on it's own if not more so if you're looking to save some money then I'd recommend checking the set out.
Hugo Boss Bottled Gift Set £45: If Hugo Boss' The Scent isn't your kind of thing and you're looking for a cleaner fresher scent then Boss Bottled is perfect.It has a sweetness to it that stops it from being overpowering but still leaves a lasting impression.
Diesel Only The Brave Gift Set £44: And the last fragrance set is one that anyone of any age can wear and smell great with. Only The Brave is another classic scent that can be worn by anyone, clean with hints of citrus and leather, this has a unique twist which smells different on everyone.
