Perfume is one of the easiest gifts to get right, as long as you pick the right scent style and the right size. This guide keeps everything under £25, so you can gift well without overspending.
Start with the size
5ml tester from £4.99. The lowest-risk gift. It's a good stocking filler, a thank-you, or a way to let someone try a scent before committing to a bottle. Browse all 5ml testers.
50ml bottle. A proper gift that still feels easy on the budget. A good choice for colleagues, friends and family.
100ml bottle. The big-gesture option, and still under £30. It suits partners, parents and anyone who wears fragrance daily.
A bundle. If you can't choose one scent, our bundle deals let you mix and match. The 3 x 5ml tester bundle works well as a "try three" gift.
Choose by scent style
If you know how the person dresses, how they talk and what they usually wear, you can usually match them to a style.
For someone fresh and easygoing. Look at our fresh fragrances. Sage Wood & Marine Salt is clean and airy, built around soft ambrette, a salty mineral accord and woods. It suits everyday wear and anyone who dislikes anything heavy.
For the sweet-toothed. Our sweet fragrances are warm, smooth and comforting. Golden Angel is a boozy gourmand with a cognac accord, cinnamon, tonka, vanilla and praline, and it's made for autumn and winter evenings.
For someone who loves a classic floral. Browse floral fragrances. Celina Exclusif opens with bergamot, pear and lychee, moves into damask rose and incense, and settles on vanilla, musk and moss.
For the person who likes depth. Our woody and oud fragrances feel rich and confident. No. Thirty Three is dry and smoky, with cardamom, violet, leather, sandalwood and cedar.
For a cosy, warm gift. Try vanilla fragrances or spicy fragrances, both popular from October through to winter.
Not sure? Gift the choice
The safest gift is a few testers. Buy two or three 5ml testers in different styles, add a note saying "pick your favourite and I'll get you the full bottle", and the recipient does the choosing.
