10 Irresistible Perfumes to Gift This Year

As the holidays approach, perfume remains one of the most popular gifts… yet definitely one of the most difficult to choose! A fragrance is intimate: you wear it every day, it tells a story about you, and it leaves a trace. To help you decide, we’ve selected 10 standout launches from this year. Take a breath, think of the person you want to spoil… and let your nose guide you.

 

A Christmas Mood

For the true Christmas lovers, Jo Malone unveils a special edition blending warm sandalwood, a hint of vanilla, and the freshness of cardamom. Soft apricot notes round everything out, creating a comforting scent that’s never too sweet. Elegant, easy to wear, and perfect for the festive season.

 

A Fragrance of Chance

Belgian singer Angèle, Chanel’s ambassador, embodies the new Chance Eau Splendide. Featuring geranium, raspberry, rose, and violet, it’s made for personalities that are both sparkling and soft. A scent you adopt instantly… and never want to leave.

 

A Floral Twist

When we discovered Chloé’s newest fragrance, we immediately fell for it. This vibrant twist features bright orange blossom, a delicate rose, and an addictive duo of tonka bean and vanilla. A perfume that evolvesluminous, charming, with just enough character to follow you from morning to night.

 

A Breath of Freedom

What fascinates us about perfume is the story it carries. With Bon Parfumeur, you imagine the scene first, then create the scent. This time: Paris at night. A horseback ride, the wind on your face… all bottled in a fragrance. Italian mandarin and lemon, followed by Paraguayan petitgrain and freesia: a scent that breathes adventure and freedom.

 

A Concentrate of Boldness

Givenchy L’Interdit is made for women who fear nothing. A fragrance representing strength, charisma, and unwavering elegance. Guatemalan cardamom, lavender, neroli, and a base of rum, tobacco, and patchouli: a blend that never apologizes. Best worn with heels and red lipstick for a thrilling, dangerous night out.

 

An Incarnation of Softness

If tenderness had a scent, it would smell like Les Mots Doux by Coty. White florals gently opening into a cloud of petals, a soft and soothing fragrance that lingers like a caress on the skin. Perfect for those who prefer perfumes that whisper.

 

An Iconic Boldness

To celebrate 100 years of Shalimar, Guerlain unveils L’Essence, a more intense and modern interpretation. Bergamotbrightens a floral heart of rose and iris, melting into amber and generous vanilla. A new facet for lovers of iconic, timeless, yet assertive fragrances.

 

Chic With Secrets

In Dries Van Noten’s olfactory world, roses never behave as expected. Raving Rose breaks all the rules: opulent, almost explosive, then awakened by touches of pepper. The Rose Rave bottle says it all: bubblegum pink cap on a red metallic base. You’re chic, very chic… but full of hidden intensity.

 

A Ray of Summer

The newest creation from Narciso Rodriguez feels like sun-kissed skin after a summer day. The signature musk heartblends with frangipani, ylang-ylang, amber, and cedar to create an addictive, radiant, and sensual fragrance that lights up any room.

 

An Intensity That Lasts

For those who love powerful, head-turning fragrances, BDK never disappoints. With Vanille Caviar, forget gentle vanilla—here, she takes the lead. Blackcurrant and spices ignite the scent before it melts into a deep, cocoa-infused, almost leathery vanilla. Warm, memorable, and absolutely unforgettable.
