I have many friends and family members (erm, MOM) who love fine fragrance and can be hard to shop for so this holiday season, I’m getting a start on my gift-finding a bit early. Some of you may face similar issues when trying to find the perfect gifts for the people in your family and that’s why I decided to put together some of the gifts that I’m giving to fragrance lovers that I know.
First up is the Lisa Hoffman Variations set (top right).
Variations is a set of 4 fragrance oils that have the same base yet smell slightly different from each other. Each fragrance is for a particular time of day – morning, day, evening, and night and are meant to be applied on the pulse points.
I got the Madagascar Orchid Variations set and absolutely love it. The fragrance oils are long lasting, and I can smell them throughout the day which is wonderful. The scent continually reminds you of luxury as does the beautiful leather pouch that all four variations come in.
Retails for $95 on the Lisa Hoffman website, and now you can get a two piece Variation set through TheShoppingChannel.com. If you’re just getting this for yourself, you may opt to purchase just the fragrance oils themselves for $60. Fragrance oils are great to travel with since they’re usually in small packages and aren’t prone to breaking or leaking, so keep that in mind if you plan to travel this winter break!
Next, I had to mention the cute Clinique Happy To Go fragrance trio. 3 fragrance pencils that come in a pretty silver pouch and go everywhere with you. Retails for $37 and available at all Clinique counters.
Finally, there’s the new Ricci Ricci fragrance. I mention it because the bottle is shaped like a present. It’s a square glass container and the stopper is a metallic pink bow. It’s the cutest packaging and will look great on anyone’s vanity. The scent itself is pretty unique because it starts of bring rich floral and the drydown is more powdery and deep. Notes start with bergamot and rhubarb zest alogn with rose and tuberose, and then drying down to pathcouli and sandalwood. The bottle is to die for – It’s a Ricci ribbon as a cap in pink.
The perfume will retail for $78 for 50ml in eau de parfum format. Get it at all department stores and drug stores this month.
Finally, in honor of Lisa Hoffman products now being available at TheShoppingChannel.com, we’re giving away 4 sets of Lisa Hoffman 2 Piece Variation Sets. We’re giving away 2 sets of the Madagascar Orchid set, which contains Day and Evening variations, and 2 sets of the Japanese Agarwood. We really love these sets, and you will too!
