How to Choose a Perfume as a Gift

Perfume is a personal gift, which is why it can feel risky to buy. A few simple questions make the choice much easier.

Find out what they already wear

This is the best clue you can get. Look at the bottles on their dresser, or ask a friend or relative. Once you know one perfume they like, look up its notes and choose something from the same scent family.

Match the scent to their style

• Fresh and clean: citrus and light florals, such as Nexa Pro or Crystal Leaf.
• Romantic: rose, jasmine and fruit, such as Nexa.
• Warm and bold: oud, honey and amber, such as Sweet Oud.
• Soft and understated: musk and iris, such as Memories.

Not sure? Choose a unisex scent

Unisex perfumes tend to be well balanced, so they are often a safer choice when you do not know someone's taste. Royal Musk and Signature are good places to start.

Think about presentation

A beautiful bottle and box make a gift feel special before it is even opened. All of our perfumes come in presentation boxes.

Keep the receipt

It is always worth checking the returns policy before you buy a gift, so read our returns and cancellation policy.
