These Fragrances From Sephora Should Be At The Top Of Your Gift Giving List

Crafting a gift list for your loved ones can sometimes feel like a seasonal game you'll never win. With that said, there is one gift that is generally well-loved by most folks — and that’s fragrance. Why? Well, because giving the gift of fragrance is an ultra-thoughtful, luxurious offering that can showcase how well you know someone. Plus, it feels really personal, which is key when it comes to giving great presents.

Wondering how to select perfume as a gift? We have a couple of foolproof tips that will undoubtedly help you along the way. For instance, first consider the recipient's personality. In the same token, think about their everyday style. Then, if all else fails, ask someone close to the person what fragrances they already have in their lineup, or if they’re an immediate family member or friend, go ahead and take a sneak peek at their collection.

Now, without further ado: Let's dive into our go-to fragrances from Sephora that should make it to the tip-top of your gift-giving list this season.

Tom Ford Tobacco Vanille

If your gift recipient is all about warm, spicy aromas — like chai tea, for instance — then they’re sure to love this iconic genderless scent from Tom Ford. The woodsy, unisex fragrance is filled with notes of tobacco leaf, vanilla, and ginger, along with sweet wood sap and dry fruit accords for a modern, elevated feel that packs a megapunch every time you spritz it on.

Viktor&Rolf Flowerbomb

A fragrance (and bottle) that can double as home decor is perfect for the person in your life that loves florals and sleek, opulent design. Flowerbomb is a sultry floral perfume with jasmine, orange blossom, and patchouli notes that manages to be both sweet and sexy.

Jo Malone London Wood Sage & Sea Salt Cologne

Have someone on your list who loves smells like fresh laundry and the ocean? If so, this genderless earthy scent with notes of ambrette seeds, sea salt, and sage is a prime pick. Don't worry if you're unsure which Jo Malone London perfume they already have in their collection, as the brand’s scents are designed to be layered to create one's own unique, individual fragrance. Additionally, the brand offers an amazing travel-size option for $45 that would make a great gift for the person in your life who’s constantly on the go.
