A Quick Guide to Choosing a Perfume to Gift

A nice bottle of perfume is always a good gift for a friend or a loved one. However, with the dizzying array of scents available today, choosing one can be quite confusing. The options range from supermarket deodorants in a can to fine fragrances in crystal glass perfume bottles. If you need guidance, here are some easy tips to follow to ensure you get your loved one a truly memorable gift which oozes sophistication and class, all without breaking the bank!

 

1. Keep the occasion and season in mind - Most of the time, different perfumes are designed with different seasonal themes and locations in mind. Depending on which season it is, gifting a perfume which matches the season is a nice personal touch. For summer, light and fresh scents evoking the ocean can be nice. For spring, the fragrance of flowers, and warm, intense, and musky scents for winter, are all a good place to start.

2. Research what’s popular - If you are not knowledgeable about scents, then it might be efficient to crowdsource the work and just consider the scents that are most popular. This ensures you cast the widest net and will probably pick a scent which pleases the maximum number of people. Look for popular perfumes that receive positive reviews and have a wide appeal. Check out the bestsellers or classic fragrances that are loved by many. Trade websites and fashion blogs are good places to start your research.

3. Know the recipient - Take some time to contemplate the recipient's tastes and preferences. Consider their personality, style, and the type of activities they usually enjoy. Are they more inclined towards floral, fresh, woody, musky, or oriental fragrances? This knowledge will help you narrow down your options. People always appreciate personalised gifts more, so putting in a bit of thought can go a long way!

Presentation Matters Too!

Once you’ve chosen a scent, an easy way to make the gift much more impressive is to ensure the presentation is impeccable. Instead of just using the store bottle, a nice crystal glass perfume bottle gives a veneer of class and thoughtfulness behind the gift. There is an array of styles of crystal glass perfume bottles to choose from, and the best ones are handmade in fine cuts to provide a sparkling first impression. A good bottle elevates the perfume inside even higher by association, so it's definitely a good investment to make!
