Perfume Gift Sets: Layer Your Scent For Less

Perfume Gift Sets: Layer Your Scent For Less

Experts will tell you that the secret to having your fragrance last all day is layering. In other words, wear several different forms of your fragrance that have varying lifespans of scent, and you won’t need to reapply during the day. For example, in the shower, use a soap with your favorite fragrance. After your shower, lock the moisture into your skin with a scented body lotion. Finally, dab a few drops of your fragrance on your pulse points, and you’re ready to go. There are variations, too. Love shower gels? They’re likely to be available in your scent instead of the soap. If your skin tends more toward the oily than dry, swap out the lotion for a scented powder. If you prefer a mist of body spray with a lighter concentration of fragrance all over, replace the perfume. Buying several different products of your favorite fragrance line, though, can get pricey. Most perfume products are available in gift sets that will cost you less than buying all the products separately. Plus, there are often bonus items in gift sets, like travel bags, trial size cosmetics or fragrances, and other goodies. And, hence the name, they make great gifts to add to your wish list or to give to others.

Gift sets are packaged toward different desires and lifestyles as well. For the lady who loves bubble baths, get a set with a couple of bath products. Alessandro Dell Acqua has a set that includes a combination bubble bath/shower gel, Silky Body Milk for after your bath, and the eau de toilette spray. Know a woman on the go who exudes energy? Try the Adidas Moves gift set. It is an invigorating citrus floral scent in a gift set that includes a full size eau de toilette spray along with a mini spray perfect for her purse, carry on, briefcase, or gym bag. If you or someone you love hasn’t made up her mind quite yet about what her favorite fragrance is, or likes to shake it up with different fragrances, how about a gift set that is a sampling of several scents? The Hot Couture Mini Set Includes mini size (ranging from .13 oz parfums to a .5 oz eau de parfum) bottles and sprays of five different fragrances: Hot Couture, Organza, Ysatis, Organza Indecence, and Amarige. How about those extra goodies? The Ralph (Lauren) Cool set comes with a mini eau de toilette, body lotion, shower gel, and a cosmetic bag to carry it all and then some.
