Beautiful Scents for Christmas:
Perfumes make such a classic Christmas gift, and this year’s picks are simply divine:
- Chanel No 5 – Always a timeless choice, this fragrance is the perfect blend of floral elegance and freshness and reminds me of my nana because she loved it.
- YSL Libre – Bold, sophisticated, and perfect for someone with a daring spirit. The fact that Dua Lipa featured in this year's advert for this is enough for me to adore it!
- Jo Malone Fir & Artemisia Cologne– I didn't think Jo Malone could launch anything better this year after their limited edition Orange Marmalade Scent but wow, the Fir & Artemisia is refreshing, green and crisp with a soft slightly sweet yet woody scent and it is adorable.
- Diptyque Scented 2024 Advent Calendar - I've long been a lover of Diptyque Orphéon Eau De Parfum and with its Juniper, Tonka Bean, Cedar and Jasmine it will make the most perfect gift for Christmas but if you can't decide and really want to go Extra, the Scented Advent Calendar will for sure blow her away.
- Viktor & Rolf Flower Bomb - if all else fails and you are looking for a safe perfume to go for, then go for this because it's adorable and I have never met anyone who doesn't love it. Similarly, Chloe, Dior Sauvage Eau De Parfum and Givenchy L'Interdit Eau De Parfum will always hit the mark.
- Sol de Janeiro Perfume Mists - sometimes all that is needed is a spritz of a light mist and you will never go wrong with the Sol de Janeiro Perfume Mists.
