Perfume gift sets are one of the most classy gifts that there is on the planet earth, no matter which part of the world you live in. A good fragrance would make for a great gift on special events like birthdays, anniversaries, and Christmas too. It is far from any risky idea and for someone who knows your scent, it is intensely personal. Sending a gift that would show your level of Connaissance would definitely impress the person. On the other hand, if you are not sure about their scent, you can always send them a kit of different testers. This has a double benefit: they get what they want, plus a few new fragrances.

Christmas marks the perfect opportunity to be able to give out these kinds of classic gifts to your loved ones (or to yourself!) During “the most wonderful time of the year,” each house is loaded with beautiful fragrances and so the idea of perfume would be a wonderful gift. These covetable coffrets make for a significant gift so that every time they spray some on, they’ll think of you (You might probably want to add a separate one for yourself!) So here are 12 nice-smelling Christmas perfume ideas for you:

• 1740, Histoires des Parfums

This array is quite nice so it is better that you start it up with a theme. People would often say that a perfume must be according to the season, for example, florals for springtime, citruses for summertime, intense and, heavier combinations for wintertime. In reality, it’s perfectly normal to wear something that is probably not related to weather at all which is part of the fun of perfumery, that is, to build your own experience in the 20cm or so around your body. But let’s just say you want a really Christmassy scent for someone and probably for yourself too. Niche firm, Histoires des Parfums creates an excellent range of fragrances composed to capture different eras in a tiny bottle. Their 1740 (£38 for 15ml) is a vibrant and fresh amber – a union of resinous notes that includes scents such as labdanum, vanilla, and patchouli with a pinch of birch tar to excite the fireside feeling.
