Buying fragrance for another person is one of the hardest things to get right, perfume can smell different from one person to another yet I find it one of the most exciting things to receive, even if I don't know how suited to me they will be. I just love surprises, and trying something new is always at the top of my wishlist. I think the trick when buying for others is just to make an educated guess, look at what they would usually wear and find something similar but new for them to try. A sparkly box underneath the Christmas tree will brighten anyone's day.

I've chosen a few fragrances that are scents I personally love and I believe they would make wonderful gifts. I've chosen three from the Marc Jacobs Daisy range, I just love the pretty boxes along with the scent, they would make a perfect gift for anyone with plenty of variations to choose from. Another fantastic looking box as well as the scent is the Thierry Mugler Alien set, I love all Thierry Mugler scents but out of them all I find Alien to be the best all-rounder. I've included the Narciso Rodriquez set as this is something I've been eyeing for a while and the Tom Ford set as this is a new favourite of mine, I wear it most days, both I believe are more mature scents but that could just be my nostrils. I had to include the Jo Malone set - I'd love this as I've never owned a single Jo Malone scent and to be honest I don't quite know where to start so to have a few little bottles to try would be wonderful - it also wouldn't be Christmas without a set of miniatures. Now the final one on my list isn't part of a set, but that doesn't matter, Viktor & Rolf's BONBON has made it onto my list as this is the top of my actual Christmas wishlist, fingers crossed it makes its way under my tree.


So, which fragrance is at the top of your Christmas wishlist?

    1. I'm really hoping to receive it this Christmas, BONBON is so pretty both the bottle and scent. If not, you can guarantee it will be on order by the 1st January 2015! xx

    1. I always have to have a new fragrance at Christmas, I'm thinking of adding two to be on the safe side, I really want BONBON but I'd also love a box of miniatures - I haven't received a set like that since I was a teen! xx

    1. You can't go wrong with any of the Thierry Mugler scents, they're so long lasting which is rare! I'm thinking of really pushing for the Jo Malone set too as well as the BONBON, it might be a bit too much - I might have to pick it up myself in the new year. Is he good at picking up on hints? If he is then you're a very lucky woman! xx
