25 Perfume Gift Sets Anyone Will Love

Does sitting by a bonfire remind you of your first camping trip as a teenager? Or maybe a balsam candle takes you right back to your grandparents' living room at Christmastime? There's a good reason for this; there is a strong connection between smells and memory. "People often say that the sense of smell conjures up memories so well that they feel as if they were experiencing the event again," Theresa L. White, Ph.D., professor and chair in the department of psychology at Le Moyne College in Syracuse, New York told Verywell Mind. If the smell is associated with a pleasant experience, it can make you feel happy and nostalgic.

For some, a sense of smell is so powerful, it can even be a spiritual experience, according to religious scholar Susan Ashbrook Harvey. In an essay published in The Journal of Theological Studies, she said, "Through smell, human and divine could meet, not face-to-face as distinct realities, but intermingled in a communion of being," (via JSTOR).

That's why splurging on perfume is worth it; fragrances always make lovely and thoughtful gifts. And since they remind the wearer of beautiful memories, fragrances are also very personal. You'll want to do your due diligence to find one that is perfect for your loved ones, or for yourself. To help you, we've rounded up 25 of the best perfume gift sets to gift this season.

How we chose the perfume gift sets

The perfume gift sets on this list were chosen based on their popularity, reviews, and price points. There are many fragrance families represented, from florals and citruses to woodsy musks and bright and clean gender-neutral scents.

The interesting thing about perfume is that it can smell differently depending on the individual. "The pH balance of the skin differs slightly, which can change the way a scent smells," Michael Donovan, founder and creative director of the luxury perfume line St. Giles, told Byrdie. That explains why a perfume that smells heavenly on your friend might not have the same magical effect on you. 

Thankfully, you're bound to find something that works for you and your loved ones on this list. And with the holidays right around the corner, it's a wonderful time to stock up on classic favorites and discover new smells, as there are so many out there.
