A designer perfume is one of the most popular holiday gifts in the USA. It feels personal and luxurious, and she will use it every day. If you are not sure where to start, this guide breaks down the best perfume gifts for women by scent style, so you can pick one that matches her personality.
How to choose a perfume she will love
- Check what she already wears. If she loves sweet, cozy scents, look for vanilla, amber or gourmand perfumes. If she prefers light and clean, choose a fresh floral.
- Eau de Parfum vs Eau de Toilette: Eau de Parfum (EDP) is more concentrated and lasts longer. Eau de Toilette (EDT) is lighter and great for daytime.
- Go for a classic when in doubt. Iconic perfumes are popular for a reason.
