Holiday fragrance gifts 2017, part 6

Posted by Robin on 19 December 2017 11 Comments

Part six in our annual series of fragrance related holiday gifts features coffrets, kits and gift sets. (And, it is terribly late, apologies! It is just as well that for many of us, this is just another form of window shopping, and/or just as well that many of us buy as much in the week after Christmas as we do the week before.) Do add any of your own recommendations in the comments!

From Floris, the Perfumer’s Wardrobe: “Inspired by people and events, past and present, each of the unique fragrances combines exquisite ingredients sourced from around the world. These oils and essences have been specially selected before being meticulously developed by the Floris in-house perfumer to express a story behind each creation. There truly is a fragrance to wear for every occasion. Presented in an exquisite presentation box, truly immerse yourself in the beauty and expertise of our olfactory world.” With nine 14 ml bottles of Eau de Parfum (Honey Oud, Leather Oud, 71/72 for Turnbull & Asser, Jermyn Street, Bergamotto di Positano, Cherry Blossom, 1962, 1976 and 1988). $320…

Part five in our annual series of fragrance related holiday gifts features scented items for men, although there are plenty of “unisex” ideas in the other articles, and as always there are probably a few things here that women might like. Do add any of your own recommendations in the comments!

From Boy Smells, a Trio Votive Set with Kush, Ash and Cedar Stack candles. “This trio is near and dear to Boy Smells’ heart – they are the very first three smells Boy Smells created.” (Kush is cannabis, suede, white musk, tulip and amber; Ash is firewood, smoke, charcoal, palo santo and hay; Cedar Stack is cedar, labdanum, juniper berry, sawdust and white musk.) Three 85g candles for $42 at Luckyscent…

Today, the fourth entry in our annual series on fragrance related holiday gifts. The subject: miscellaneous scented things that don’t fit into the other categories, including a few scented tea selections. As always, please add any of your own picks in the comments!

The third entry in our annual series on fragrance related holiday gifts is all about home fragrance. As always, please add any of your own picks in the comments!

From Poglia, the Affumicata candle: “We collaborated with Joya Studios to create a signature candle and scent, Affumicata (“smokey” in Italian), a comforting smell with notes of sandalwood, saddle leather and pepper. The base of each piece is a porcelain vessel with a 22k gold rim, and the imprint of Poglia’s horse-shoe ring on the back. The lids are also made of porcelain and adorned with a solid brass piece. Each candle was hand-poured in Brooklyn, NY.” With notes of Brazilian pepper, saddle leather, brushed suede, hay, charred oak and sandalwood, 260g, $135…
