The holidays are quickly approaching. If you are like us and don't want a repeat of last year, that means you are also staying ahead of the gift-giving game. It can be hard to figure out what to get someone for the festivities, but allow us to throw a suggestion into the ring: perfume gift sets.

We know fragrance is widely subjective, but that's the beauty of a set. These gifts typically include more than one scent, so whoever you give a set to will be able to select their favorite of the bunch and possibly buy the full-size version for themselves in the future. Is your recipient a fan of woody scents but not citrus ones? There's a set for that. Prefer more of a subtle aroma as opposed to one with next-level sillage? You have options. Fragrance gift sets take the pressure off finding the one perfect present, which can be tricky. They also tend to come in trial or travel sizes, allowing you to save a bit of money while still treating your loved one to something special — a win-win.

Some even allow you to purchase samples and give you a voucher that you can exchange for a full size of your favorite scent, like the Sephora Favorites Perfume Sampler Set. Others come with more substantial travel sizes that are perfect for a quick trip or to just keep in your work or gym bag.

Whether you are shopping for someone special or just feel a good treat-yourself moment coming on, the editor-approved perfume gift sets ahead will make your holiday shopping (and gifting) a breeze.
