*AD ~ This post was sponsored by Fragrance Direct however all opinions (and love of fragrance), are as always, my own.
It’s that time of year again! I can’t believe Christmas is less than a month away. I have already planned all my Christmas gifts and have made a list for everyone I’m buying for and writing cards to this year. Organisation is key! As a massive fan of all things fragranced, perfumes always end up on my list to someone. I really love gifting fragrances to people as you can have fun choosing their perfect scent based on their personality. Are they elegant & feminine? Go for a pretty floral. Are they more outdoorsy or sporty? Choose a fresh or citrus scent. Are they bubbly & fun? Try something fruity with berries.
Fragrance Direct always offer fantastic value and a great array of gift sets especially around Christmas time. They also include detailed descriptions of all the fragrances they stock including the top, heart and base notes which I really like! I’ve chosen 3 different Scents For Her from Fragrance Direct that are all available as part of beautiful gift sets on their website this season. Hopefully it will give you some gifting inspiration!
Lacoste: Timeless For Her | “Inviting you to experience the emotion of a suspended moment. Floral, fruity, warmed with enveloping woods, Lacoste Pour Femme Timeless charms from the outset with a profusion of blushing roses, lifted by zesty mandarin. Gradually the fragrance reveals its sensual, luminous heart: an opulent bouquet of orange blossom, jasmine and gardenia. Patchouli flirts with captivating incense in the dry down, creating a new sensuality enhanced by the richness of sandalwood.”
This scent feel particularly luxurious and opulent! Gift this to your friend who enjoys the finer things in life. I always love fragrances that have Patchouli in the base notes because of that intoxicating incense quality it has!
Hugo Boss: BOSS The Scent For Her | “Juicy and velvety shades of peach combined with freesia blossom in the top notes. Heart of osmanthus, famous for apricot scent, while dry down features roasted cocoa providing a darker gourmand twist.”
“With this captivating feminine fragrance, she embraces her delicate, sensual side. Pink Pepper and Green Mandarin lend their luminous, zesty vibrations to the signature top notes of Honeyed Peach and Freesia. The perfume blooms brighter still as radiant Orange Blossom and Freesia illuminate the warm, voluptuous heart of Osmanthus Flower. Excitement grows as the scent’s lightness and delicacy encounter the contrasting base accord of dark, addictive Cocoa. Boss The Scent For Her Eau de Toilette is presented in a diamond shaped flacon of transparent glass, the better to showcase its feminine pink hue. Finished with a precious rose-gold cap, the bottle reflects the light, seductive character of this new perfume.” I love how elegant this scent feels! This one is definitely for your girly, feminine friend and if they’re a rose gold fan like me, it’s a definite winner. It has such a complex range of fragrance notes that every time I smell it I pick up something different.
Marc Jacobs: Daisy | “Daisy is a classic, pure fragrance thats charmingly simple with a signature quality. The scent embodies the essence of the daisy girl who wears it: timeless, yet young-at-heart. She is a reminder to be open, loving, and playful while radiating positive energy. The top of the fragrance is infused with succulent wild berries and soft white violets, leaving an irresistibly fresh and radiant scent on the skin. At the heart, velvety jasmine wraps with each note, enhancing the vibrancy of the florals. A dreamy drydown of sandalwood imparts an aura of warmth and sensuality, creating a delicate and romantic contrast within the fragrance.“ One of my all time favourite fragrances is Marc Jacobs Daisy. The berries and jasmine notes make this scent really uplifting and playful! The bottle has a beautiful vintage charm with blooming daisies scattered on top.
