The Ultimate 2010 Fragrance Gift Guide & Giveaway

22 November 2010 1,276 views 108 Comments

The time has come, my fragrance-obsessed ladies, to highlight the best notes of the season. It’s time to sniff, test and enjoy all the many scents the world has to offer — and then go shopping!

I hope you have as much fun reading through this as I did finding all the items. Shown below are the “popular as pop” scents as well as the more niche, harder to find than the Holy Grail variety (because we know that the audience out there is picky).

And all are perfectly giftable (if you’re greedy, just scroll down to the very end to find out more about the delicious giveaways valued at over $170!).

Belle D’Opium Gift Set- YSL’s newest , an updating of the Opium name. More pretty than sexy and should appeal to many. A floriental but also it’s a bit of a chypre which is rare these days. Mostly floral and spice but the chypre’s oakmoss makes a small appearance . The set has a large 3oz EDP as well as a mini spray ( .034 oz) and a travel purse spray (.025 oz). $ 95.00

By Kilian Set- A way to have your Kilian fix on you at all times. This refillable silver portable atomizer is a limited edition (a black one is available year round) and comes with 4 refills in your choice of the five scents from Kilian’s superbly crafted “L’Oeuvre Noire” collection . Each included refill is .25 oz . $ 155.00

Lola Marc Jacobs Perfume Bracelet- Solid perfume fun for your wrist or just to carry in your bag. For the whimsical person in your life. Give a long lasting solid perfume that’s decorative at the same time. $ 42.00

Balenciaga Paris Holiday Set- One of the biggest and most well done perfume releases of the year in a set of 2.5 oz EDP spray, 6.7 oz body lotion all in a showcase box. ( I’ve seen some sites also show a mini replica of the fabled Balenciaga bag in a coin purse as part of the set). $130.00

Annick Goutal Noel Candle: A true classic. One of the prettiest holiday candle scents, it’s the fresh forest with a little citrus kick, thanks to mandarin orange and Siberian pine notes.

    I would love to win any new fragrances, I haven’t had anything new since my doctor took me out of work due to some health reasons. Money has been obsolete for me, my husband has to pay every bill we have with what he makes and we have a 2 year old, we already don’t give each other anything for our birthdays and this year Christmas will be the same. When I was a child Santa didn’t make it to our house every year and I swore to myself my children would never experence that as child, but I never planned on not working as I have since I was 15 years old. My mother tried to teach me make the best out of what I have and I would like to think I’m doing a good job at it!
    Best wishes to everyone that enters I’m sure there are more people in this world that have it a lot worse then myself, maybe one of those folks will win!

I think i’d be a really awesome perfume type of girl, if only someone helped me find my perfect scent.

  • Juanita said:

    Perfume has such an influence on how I’m going to feel for the rest of the day. Depending on which one I choose to wear, I can feel flirty, sexy, empowered, spiritually enlightened, seductive, aroused, carefree, wild child, or barefoot gypsy. I love scents and the infinite imaginings that go hand in hand with them.
