A good place to start would be with universally flattering scents that never go out of style, like Maison Francis Kurkdjian’s Baccarat Rouge 540 or a set that includes Le Labo’s bestsellers (like Santal 33). On the other hand, maybe you’d prefer to get more tailored in your selections. There's a lot to consider when selecting perfumes for women or colognes for men. A helpful tip is to imagine the personality and style of who you’re gifting—do they lean more classic and timeless (go for Miss Dior to suit the Charlotte York types), or perhaps they're more moody and edgy? In that case, Kilian’s miniature perfume set should impress the cool Samatha Jones on your list.
To help streamline your search, we’ve combed through the best of the best to compile this list of the cologne and perfume gift sets to give this holiday season; and trust us—there’s something for everyone.
