As memorable Christmas gifts go, these are elite

Gifting a loved one with fragrance is more than just a gesture – it's a tangible (and extremely personal) way to demonstrate how well you know them.

Treating someone to a hand-selected perfume that resonates with their personality is magical any time of year, but fragrance really is the ultimate festive gift.

You might already know that our sense of smell has the power to code new memories because of its link to the limbic system (the part of the brain that deals with recollection and emotion). As memorable gifts go, scent is elite.

There are plenty of ways to shop for fragrance gifts (scouring the recipient’s habits, current signature scent, and personal style for clues), and here’s another: exploring their festive personality to decode which Eau de Parfum will make their holiday season unforgettable. The good news is, there's a perfect match for everyone.

 

Festive Personality: Sophisticated & Timeless

Perfume match: Forever Florence 100mL Eau De Parfum

From lavish dinners to intimate gatherings, they love creating moments that are both beautiful and timeless. This exquisite fragrance is a match to their refined taste, adding classic elegance to their holiday season. With notes of Peony, Lily, and Musk, it makes every festive occasion feel like a cultured and classic celebration.

 

Festive Personality: Romantic & Mysterious

Perfume match: Rendezvous 14mL Eau De Parfum

They revel in the romance of the holidays (they’re queuing up Christmas Day rom-coms from December 1) and excel at turning every gathering into something memorable. This captivating blend of Orchid, Violet, Amber, and Musk creates an aura of intrigue – it’s passionate and elusive, which is exactly why they’ll like it.

 


 

Festive Personality: Sultry & Enigmatic

Perfume match: Midnight In Milan 100mL Eau De Parfum

Always the life of the party, they know where to be and who to see during the festive season. With an air of mystery and easy charm, they’re guaranteed a spot on every guest list. The unexpected combo of Rose and Moss in this scent is as captivating and intriguing as they are and will ensure they turn heads wherever they go.

 

Festive Personality: Fresh & Energised

Perfume match: Sunsets In Capri 100mL Eau De Parfum

For them, the best part about Christmas is celebrating under the summer sun, and savouring an aperitivo by the beach. Bursting with energy and zest for life, they thrive on the vibrant holiday atmosphere. This invigorating blend of Mandarin, White Peach, and Marine notes perfectly complements their lively spirit.

 

  

Festive Personality: Elegant & Refined

Perfume match: Kyoto In Bloom 100mL Eau De Parfum

They appreciate the finer things in life and have a flair for the sophisticated. Perfectly at home hosting a chic holiday soirée, you can count on them to always have a bottle of the best Champagne on ice for impromptu toasts. This White Floral, Amber, and Vanilla fragrance is graceful and always appropriate, just like them.

 

Festive Personality: Daring & Lively

Perfume match: Moon & Back 14mL Eau De Parfum

Whether they’re the ones suggesting a spontaneous holiday adventure or adding a kooky twist to your otherwise traditional celebrations, their boldness is contagious. A playful blend of Citrus, Marmalade, Brown Sugar, Ozone, and Lily captures their adventurous spirit, embodying all the magic they bring to the season.

 

Festive Personality: Free-Spirited & Outdoorsy

Perfume match: Dive Into Cyprus 14mL Eau De Parfum

For them, the festive season is an opportunity to get outside and experience something new. Driving a van down the coastline? They’ve done it. Taking bracing dips in the sea? That too. They embrace the thrill of the unexpected, so an invigorating scent like this one (with Lavender, Sea Salt, and zesty Lime) suits their nature.

Festive Personality: Warm & Inviting

Perfume match: A Tahaa Affair Devotion 100mL Eau De Parfum

Their festive season is all about creating cosy spaces filled with warmth and love. Their gatherings are nourishing and full of heartfelt moments. This scent, with luscious notes of Vanilla Orchid, Caramel Butterscotch, and Coconut Water, evokes their nurturing spirit. Like their embrace, it’s always welcome.

 

Festive Personality: Chic & Modern

Perfume match: Melbourne Muse 50mL Eau De Parfum

All December long, you’ll find them catching up for festive drinks and late-night shopping under twinkling city lights. They love hustle and bustle and thrive on the busyness of the season. A dynamic fragrance like this one (heady with Coffee Flower, Vanilla, and Patchouli) suits: it’s chic, contemporary, and effortlessly cool.
