The Christmas season is inexorably approaching and one of the biggest hassles (or joys) is buying presents. Deciding what to give as a gift is not easy. The cost of the gift, its practicality and the wishes and needs of the person to whom the gift is to be given should be considered. However, if you want to give a personal and memorable gift – perfume is a wonderful choice. Perfume is a personal part of your daily routine, so a well-chosen perfume shows not only how much work you’ve put into finding it, but also that you’ve been thinking about the person you’re buying it for. Since buying perfume, even for yourself, is a complicated process, here are five ways to help you choose the perfect gift.
Personal relationships
The personal relationship is very important when choosing a scent. If the gift is for a family member or a close friend – you probably know them quite well and can choose a more sophisticated, night-time scent from Victoria’s Secret , Tom Ford or any other similar repertoire of scents. If you’re looking for a gift for someone less close to you – as a rule of thumb, remember that a light scent is best in these situations. This will help you achieve the optimum.And if you’re looking for a fragrance for your other half – then it’s easy, just buy what you want to smell.
Human character
Many people like to breathe according to their mood, so don’t forget to apply the scent to a person’s behavioural traits. If you want to buy a gift for a busy, attention-loving person – a strong, bright scent is sure to go well with that personality, day and night. Black Opium, pulsating with rock’n’roll and boldness, or the subversive Angel are the perfect choice. For the shyer, quieter person, it’s best to choose a lighter daytime scent, while in the evenings, you can enrich a more modest personality with a slightly stronger fragrance.
Age
A lot changes with age. Aromas that were pleasing to the sense of smell in youth can become increasingly distant or even undesirable as we mature. So when choosing a gift for young girls, the most suitable perfumes include a mix of light florals, berries, fruits, musk, and a hint of spring and the approaching summer. The youthful Cassiopeia, Modern Princess or Summery are just some of the many options available. For mature women, deeper, more complex fragrances should be used. Chanel’s unbeatable perfumes have long been the benchmark for mature women, so if you give them to your mum or an older friend, you’ll rarely miss a beat.
Don’t forget where the person works
It is important to pay attention to the activities a person performs. For those working in offices or offices, a subdued, classic fragrance is best. Such compositions are usually composed of floral fragrances. For freelancers or artists, of course, bolder perfumes are more suitable. You can also try niche fragrances with bold and unique note compositions.
Trademarks
If you know the person well, it’s easy to find out their favourite brand, but even if you’re buying a gift for someone you don’t know well, it’s good to know what’s on their fragrance shelf. Maybe it’s just Victoria Secret or Armani. Generally, brands from the same brand do not stray far from each other and have a commonality, so you won’t go wrong if you try different aromatic compositions from the same brand.
