Guide on how to gift a perfume

Giving a perfume is a beautiful gesture and a bit risky: it is a very personal thing. However, the risk is greatly reduced if you ask a few right questions before choosing.

First: observe

What perfume do they wear now? If you can catch a glimpse of the bottle on their dresser, you already have half the answer. Look it up on the website: the notes and fragrance family will tell you which direction to go.

If you don't know, look at the rest: do they dress classically or casually? Do they love light or dark colors? Do they prefer the sea or the mountains? These are not rules, but they help you understand whether to look for something fresh and luminous or warm and enveloping.

The questions we ask you

• Who is it for and what is your relationship?
• When will they wear it: every day, in the evening, on a special occasion?
• What perfumes do they wear or have they worn?
• How much do you want to spend?

You will find the same questions in the guided consultation on the website: answer thinking about who will receive the gift and we will propose three perfumes with the reasons why.

How to reduce the risk

Stay close to what they already love. A perfume from the same fragrance family, perhaps from a house they don't know, is a sure surprise.

Give a sample. A sample set or a gift card leaves the final choice to the recipient, without taking away the pleasure of the package.

Think about the size. A small bottle is an elegant and less demanding gift.

Take care of the packaging. Gift wrapping and a handwritten card make up half the gift.
