For Mom: Guerlain’s Shalimar  

 

Sensual and enveloping, this oriental scent is an icon of French perfumery. It has crossed the decades without ageing. A real woman’s scent that your Mom is sure to love.

For Dad: Dior’s Eau Sauvage

 

Dior’s first men’s scent, Eau Sauvage is one of those timeless classics that never go out of style. Modern, elegant and easy to wear, it’s always right, and Dad is bound to enjoy the understated yet luxurious bottle with its famous signature strip of metal…

For my little brother: Jacadi’s Ma première montre (My First Watch) Gift Set 

 

This cute gift set will be perfect for introducing my baby brother to fragrance. I love Jacadi’s idea of pairing an eau de toilette with a chic little watch: a blue-leather strap and a plaid watch face for a real little dandy!

For my little sister: OSMOZ’s “Les coulisses du parfum” kit

She’s curious and wants to learn about everything, so she’s going to love being able to play at being a real perfumer. Discovering the legendary accords and ingredients that go into classic scents, learning about the foundations of olfactory culture… This very complete kit composed by OsMoz has more than one trick up its sleeve.

“Mythic Accords” by OsMoz (idem), €59
