Before I started wearing and loving makeup, I was obsessed with fragrances. I felt special and sophisticated spritzing myself with lovely scents. I remember being in grade school and spending all my allowances on Bath and Body Works Classic Splashes.

Since then, I’ve matured from that approach and have grown to appreciate the longevity and intensity of pricier Eau de Parfums. Unfortunately, most perfumes don’t go on ‘buy three get one free’ sales like the body splashes!

Still, the holidays is a great time to splurge on beautiful scents, either for yourself or for others. Read on for my favorite fragrance gifts to give.

Marc Jacobs Exclusive Lola Set ($110 US) is a winner of the Allure Best of Beauty Awards and the fragrance is as beautiful as the bottle it comes in.

Rich, warm florals are perfect for the stylista in your group. The creamy vanilla and musk really help capture the idea of an edgy floral. Included are a shower gel, lotion, perfume, wristlet, and hat box.  This is definitely on the top of my Christmas wish list!

Sephora Deluxe Fragrance Sample for Her and Him ($50 US each) are for those who don’t want their gift to be returned by an extremely picky friend.  This sampler includes 12 of the latest scents and a gift voucher to redeem one full sized bottle of the fragrance they loved the most. They’re bound to thank you!

Gwen Stefani dressed her adorable Harajuka girls in colorful snow suits for the winter! Gift your fun, quirky friend with the Harajuku Lovers Snow Bunnies Gift Set ($100 US) with all five original Harajuku Lovers scents. Now, she can spray on a whole new personality for each day of the week. (My fave is Music.)

TIP: This also makes a great stocking stuffer when split up!

By now, I’m sure everyone has seen the lovely ads featuring Naomi, Eva, and Claudia for D&G perfumes. For anyone who loves the world of fashion and beauty, the D&G Fragrance Collection Gift Set ($65 US) is a perfect marriage of the two.

Fresh Enchanted Garden Stawberry Flowers ($30 US) set is so much more affordable than it looks – perfect for giving gifts! Includes a perfume, lotion, and shower gel so that your friend can immerse themselves with this crisp scent. Who won’t love dousing themselves with strawberries flowers?
