To help you out, we’ve sniffed around and put together a comprehensive guide on all the best perfume gift sets out there from heaps of big-name brands. We’ve spared no detail either – we’ve had a think about all the cult classics and newer releases, so you’ll find something to fit all budgets and preferences. And who knows? You might even come across a gift set or two that are worth adding to your own personal wishlist.
Best designer perfume gift sets for women:
As far as designer perfumes go, you really can’t go wrong with Yves Saint Laurent and Gucci — both of which happen to offer some of the most stunning perfume gift sets. Alongside an iconic Lash Clash mascara, this YSL gift set boasts two different sizes of the brand’s cult-favourite scent, Black Opium — which is made with the brand’s signature black coffee accord, paired with sensual vanilla, white flowers, orange blossom, patchouli, and white musk. Alternatively, for more of a sweet and floral fragrance, Gucci Flora Gorgeous Gardenia is the perfect potion for someone equally free-spirited and feminine.
If you want to impress your bestie with a Hermes perfume, make sure to consider the Twilly d’Hermes, which is a fabulous white floral fragrance with a subtle touch of spice. Looking for something full-bodied and completely insatiable? Tom Ford’s Lost Cherry blends sweet and gourmand notes of cherry liqueur, bitter almond, and tonka bean with a musky mélange of sandalwood, vetiver, and cedar — leaving behind a truly rich and complex scent.
Best designer fragrance gift sets for him:
Back me up here: Tom Ford has sooo many memorable fragrances, but Ombré Leather is one that always goes down well with men who favour a rich and rugged scent. With rich leather layered beneath patchouli, vetiver, and jasmine sambac, it evokes the beauty of the hot and sticky deserts of the American West. But for a man who’s more Wall Street than Western, we’re big fans of Rabanne’s best-selling 1 Million Eau de Toilette gift set — that also comes with a deodorant in the same scent.
Many eau de parfum gift sets for men also include some kind of skincare or bath and body products. For example, this Calvin Klein one includes a hair and body wash, while the Clinique Hapy For Him set also has an exfoliating face scrub. Both not all that expensive, they make great stocking fillers for the guy who needs to up his skincare game.
Best perfume gift sets for under £100:
This Daisy Wild gift set is the perfect present for any millennial who swore by the original scent during their teen and young adult years. Reminiscent of a wildflower bouquet, it’s as fearless and feminine as the original — but feels like a slightly more green and earthy take. Or opt for the iconic Jimmy Choo ‘I Want Choo’ scent if you’re looking for something a little more glitzy and glamorous.
Not sure exactly which perfume she’ll like? This Debenhams edit features five mini perfumes for her to try ahead of party season. Expect signature feminine scents like Lancôme’s iconic La Vie Est Belle, sugary and floral Flowerbomb by Viktor & Rolf, and sensual and woody Alien by Mugler. Alternatively, if you’re set on a brand, but don’t know which specific scent to choose, discovery sets are a safe bet as they’ll give her the chance to spritz her way through all their top perfumes.
Best perfume gift sets for beauty gurus:
Designed to engulf your locks in its enticing honey scent, we just had to find a way to work Gisou’s iconic hair perfume into this edit. As well as the perfume, this gift set is also packed with some of the brand’s best-selling hydration heroes — such as the honey infused hair mask, hair oil, and lip oil. After some kind of stocking filler? This cute Charlotte Tilbury perfume and lipstick duo is the perfect present for Pillow Talk lovers.
Best perfume gift sets for mums and nans:
From home fragrance must-haves, to high-end pampering products, great gifts for mums, aunties, and nans aren’t hard to find at Jo Malone. A great addition to an at-home pamper session, this petite pouch is filled with four travel-sized minis — each in a different iconic Jo Malone fragrance. And when it comes to luxurious home and body scents, Maison Margiela is another brand that never disappoints. With its fresh citrus notes of bergamot and lemon, sun-kissed creamy coconut and ylang-ylang, and warming pink pepper and cedarwood, Beach Walk is one of our absolute favourite fragrances.
Best perfume gift set for teens and tweens:
With so many playful and celebrity-backed scents readily available, perfume gift sets make great presents for teen girls. This Sol de Janeiro set features four of the brand’s fan-favourite scents — all bursting with the kind of floral and fruity notes that feel fitting for a fun-loving teen. But if she’s Ari obsessed, our top pick would be this set of three different versions of the lightweight and dreamy Ariana Grande Cloud fragrance.
