Hello everyone, I hope you're all having a lovely week! I can't believe it's already December and that Christmas is only 22 days away! I'm so excited for Christmas this year as this is the first time I've been able to buy proper presents for my friends and family, so I can't wait to give them out to everyone! I'm actually someone who really loves reading and watching Christmas gift guides (I find them so inspirational!), so when Fragrance Direct asked me to feature some women's fragrance sets on my blog as part of a "Christmas gift guide for her", I couldn't wait to take part!
This will be my very first gift guide post here on my blog so please do let me know in the comments below if you enjoy it!
When it comes to buying a gift for a special girl or woman in your life, I always feel that you can't go wrong with a perfume. It's something every woman loves and us ladies can never have too many fragrances in our collection! I've picked out 3 different scents that I think would suit a range of people's needs for a fragrance. Of course you could buy any of these scents for anyone, but I've categorised them into age ranges to help you if you're looking for a gift for a younger or older woman.
Marc Jacobs Dot 50ml Gift Set* | £44.99 | LINK
Marc Jacobs Dot 50ml Gift Set* | £44.99 | LINK
The Marc Jacobs Dot gift set was the set that I chose for a younger girl, for example this would be a perfect gift for my little sister who's in her mid-teens! This set comes with a 50ml Eau De Parfum plus a mini shower gel and body lotion. Marc Jacob's Dot fragrance is a sweet floral scent that's a perfect day time perfume. With top notes of: red berries, dragon fruit and honeysuckle give it that sweet element and with the jasmine and orange blossom notes, this is a great fragrance for someone who also likes a floral scent! The wear time of this fragrance is great and I find it's the perfect scent to wear for any occasion.
As you can see the packaging and the bottle of the Marc Jacobs Dot set is absolutely gorgeous and is definitely a perfume that would take pride of place on any girl's dressing table. The box is also really cute and definitely sets this fragrance off as being perfect for a younger girl.

Dolce & Gabbana The One 30ml Gift Set* | £36.95 | LINK
The next perfume I chose was Dolce & Gabbana The One gift set and I would personally give this fragrance set to anyone who's my age or into their late 20's. It is a very warm, glamorous and sophisticated scent but at the same time it has that sweet vanilla element to it which makes it just that little bit younger. For me this is a gorgeous evening scent or an every day Winter scent as it does have a warm smelling side to it. It also contains a 50ml body lotion which will really help maintain the scent as well as keeping the skin moisturised. I find that this perfume wears really well on my skin and sometimes I can still smell it the day after on my clothes too!
The Dolce & Gabbana The One Eau De Parfum comes in a gorgeous golden box with a black velvet interior making it a very glamorous looking gift. The bottle it stunning with the golden lid and clear bottle which makes it look very sophisticated, just like the scent itself.

YSL Manifesto 30ml Gift Set* | £41.99 | LINK
My final fragrance set I chose was the YSL Manifesto gift set. This has a much older feel to it due to the wood and floral notes it contains, so I think this would make a perfect gift for an older woman you may know - this could be someone like your mum or aunt! It still has quite a sweet tone to it as it does contain notes of black current and vanilla, but the wood like tones definitely stand out in this scent to me. This is a very luxurious perfume that I think anyone would enjoy and it makes a perfect evening time scent as it does have those deeper and bolder tones. Like the other sets, this also comes with a body lotion which will help keep the Manifesto scent on your skin all day long. I also find that as it is such a strong, bold scent, this perfume lasts all day or night on my skin even if you only spray a small amount. This is a great perfume that you can get a lot of wear out of - I'm sure any girl would love to have this as a gift!
Like many YSL products, the packaging of this perfume is very luxurious as it comes in a golden box. I also love the bottle that Manifesto comes in and you can feel that it's such good quality!
