These Are the 15 Best Fragrance Gifts to Buy This Year

With key notes of sandalwood, vetiver, and amber wood, the Maison Louis Marie No.04 Bois de Balincourt Perfume is earthy, rich, and warm — and you get it in three forms (candle, perfume, and oil) with the Maison Louis Marie No. 04 Bois de Balincourt & Votive Set ($110).

For a white floral fragrance that feels modern, the Gucci Bloom Eau De Parfum Duo Set ($105) is a no-fail option. It's created to smell like a verdant garden in full bloom with notes of rangoon creeper, tuberose, and jasmine bud.

Candles are a fullproof gift in any occasion, and you can divide and conquer your holiday list when you buy the Boy Smells Rituals Votive Set ($58). It comes with three calming scents: Broken Rosary (a cozy blend of cardamon, cedar, and cinnamon), De Nîmes (a tangy floral), and Hinoki Fantôme (an unexpected mix of cardamom and jasmine).

If "minimalistic" and "effortless" are words you'd use to describe the person you're gifting, the bestselling scents in the Phlur Eau de Discovery Set ($18) is bound to complement their style. Our personal favorite is Hanami, a fresh and calming scent with notes of white florals, fig, and sandalwood.

Whether they want to commemorate a recent trip or dream of someday traveling the world, one waft of the Ouai EDP Fragrance ($56) and they'll be whisked to a specific corner of the world. While both are floral in nature, North Bondi is infused with Italian lemon, jasmine, and bergamot to evoke the beaches down under while Melrose Place features key notes of Champagne, bergamot, and rose reminiscent of Summer sunsets in LA.

There's something new and something classic in the Yves Saint Laurent Mini Black Opium & Mon Paris Eau de Parfum Duo ($29). The iconic Black Opium fragrance smells of vanilla and white flowers, while the newer Mon Paris is rich with red berries and pear. The latter scent was inspired by the City of Love, so how sweet is this petite set for a Francophile?

For a clean, gender-neutral scent, look no further than the DedCool Fragrance 01 Taunt ($85). The blend of bergamot, amber, vanilla, and fresh dew is subtle, with a sweet and sensual effect. It's the ultimate pick for the cool person on your list.

With notes of pink florals, orange blossom, amber, soft musk, and vanilla, the Narciso Rodriguez For Her Eau de Parfum ($100) is complex and intoxicating. It's the ideal signature scent for someone who's glamorous and elegant.

Part fruity, part floral, the Chanel Chance Eau Tendre Eau de Toilette Travel Gift Set ($147) is a true classic. The notes of citron, jasmine, and teakwood combine to create a scent that's bright, while still remaining soft and subtle.

Just like the name implies, one whiff of the Jo Malone London™ Wood Sage & Sea Salt Cologne ($72) will take you straight to a woody, seaside escape, with the smell of fresh, salty air intermingling with the woody earthiness of sage.

For a light scent that isn't floral-based, the Byredo Gypsy Water Eau de Parfum ($180) is woody and smoky — and the ultimate luxe pick. Featuring key notes of bergamot, lemon, pepper, incense, and pine needles, it easily conjures up fresh soil, deep forests, and campfires. In other words, it's a perfect match for someone who's free-spirited or outdoorsy — but still enjoys the finer things in life.

For a true unisex fragrance that's rich and bold, the Le Labo Santal 33 Eau de Parfum ($83) is smoky and spicy thanks to the notes of cardamom, leather, and sandalwood. It's a fan favorite.

For the holiday die-hard in your family — and hello, there is always at least one — it doesn't get more festive than the Nest New York Holiday Candle ($68).

Even though the Elizabeth and James Nirvana White Eau de Parfum ($75) contains floral notes of peony and muguet, it's more soft and simple than overly feminine or powdery. In other words, the perfect option for a light everyday scent.

Whether you want to gift this Ralph Lauren World of Polo Mini Cologne Set ($60) solo or break it into four individual stocking stuffers, each scent included is a classic — so you can't go wrong.
