Gifting
Scent is easy to give and hard to guess. Here is how to get it right.
Scent is the easiest thing in the world to give and the hardest to guess. Start with something that does not depend on their taste — or guess by mood rather than by note.

The safe bet

Universally useful, 10 mL, and it does not need to suit their skin.

If you know them well enough to guess, guess by mood rather than by note.
- Sweet — vanilla, cocoa, buttercream. The safest bet for someone whose taste you don't know.
- Floral — tiare, tuberose, jasmine. For someone who already wears fragrance.
- Smoky — tobacco, oud, patchouli. The most distinctive, and the biggest risk.
- Fresh — lychee, mandarin, coconut. Works on almost anyone.
