Glossier You Fleur Duo
We all know someone who collects Glossier scents like Infinity Stones, and the newest addition to the You Cinematic Universe is one ripe for gifting. (And not just because it’s giving major garden soirée vibes.) With its bright notes of osmanthus, ylang ylang, and apricot skin, not to mention You’s signature ambrose and ambrette base, You Fleur is without a doubt the most romantic scent choice this holiday season.

Yves Saint Laurent Libre Vanille Couture Limited Edition Perfume
Leave it to YSL to make a modern classic even more intoxicating with the addition of everyone’s favorite gourmand note: vanilla. Libre Vanilla Couture is not only a must-buy for any packaging snob (the opaque gold flacon is more like an objet d’art than a perfume bottle) but it’s a great fall-winter alternative to the brighter, orange blossom-forward profile of the original Libre.

Sabrina Carpenter Bite Sized Coffret Eau de Parfum
If you or someone you know is still mourning the end of Sabrina Carpenter’s Short n’ Sweet tour (no more Juno positions?), this fragrance quartet is a perfect consolation gift. Inside, you’ll find mini bottles of Carpenter’s delectable scents — ranging from fruity Cherry Baby to the aptly-named Me Espresso — each more delectable than the previous. (Petition for her next one to be a nod to “Sugar Talking” from Man’s Best Friend?)

Parfums de Marly Delina 3-Piece Fragrance Gift Set
Parfums de Marly’s Delina is one of those fragrances that sounds almost too saccharine on paper, but once it meets skin? The result is a soft, sweet scent — thanks to notes of cashmeran, musk, lychee, and vanilla — that’s the perfect choice for the ultimate romantic in your life. No wonder she’s made it big on TikTok.
