Acqua di Parma
Create a festive atmosphere with these holiday diffusers from Acqua di Parma, each packaged with its artistic swirls this season. Bosco is an aromatic woody scent made from pine, eucalyptus, and cedarwood. Pannetone is a sweet combination of citrus notes and vanilla mixed with a pannetone accord. As a final note, Magia del Camino brings to mind the warmth of family and friends gathered around the fireplace in winter.
Creed
Creed candles are not just any candles. For instance, a leather-wrapped version of the brand’s candles (available only in 650g variations) is considerably unique. Each is encased in Creed’s monogram print made from the finest Italian leather, ensuring the candles remain dust-free while waiting to be lit. Moreover, it’s a work of art that beautifies any space at every moment during its existence.
Penhaligon’s
The Penhaligon’s Luna Christmas gift set will make you feel like a goddess all year long. Luna is available as an eau de toilette, body lotion, and hand lotion. Featuring a woody floral combination of orange, rose, jasmine, and fir balsam, it’s sweet but not overly so, and a little edgy. At the same time, it’s also refreshing and light — perfect for any occasion.
Jo Malone London
You’ll find all your favourites here. There are five fragrances in the House of Jo Malone London gift set that you can use every day, and not just for the body. There are travel candles in Lime Basil & Mandarin as well as Peony & Blush Suede that help set the mood, while English Pear & Freesia Room Spray adds a fresh note to any room. Wood Sage & Sea Salt Body and Hand Wash soothes tired muscles with its refreshing combination. Lavender & Moonflower Pillow Mist completes the experience with restful sleep.
Guerlain
With Guerlain’s Aqua Allegoria Mandarine Basilic Eau de Parfum gift set, there is mastery at work. It contains three products — Aqua Allegoria Mandarine Basilic Forte Eau de Parfum in two sizes, and a body lotion. As opposed to most fragrance sets that focus on just one scent, the gift set’s body lotion is scented with bergamot, which balances the citrus notes in the eau de parfum. If the fragrance runs out, you can simply purchase a refill because the bottles are made to last.

Chanel
As the saying goes, all that glitters is not gold — and perhaps these Chanel beauty enhancers are proof of that. N°5 The Gold Body Oil is a silky blend of exquisite May rose and Grasse jasmine — key notes in Chanel N°5 — bottled with gold pearly particles for a sensual and shimmering skin-loving experience. Éclat Lunaire Oversize Illuminating Face Powder accentuates facial contours with radiant precision, while Les 4 Ombres Limited-Edition Multi-Effect Quadra Eyeshadow is perfect for creating dramatic flair with four pigment-rich hues one could use just about any day of the week.
Dior Beauty
The limited-edition Dior Prestige set’s products are designed to pamper and rejuvenate. Built around the Rose de Granville — a rose created by Dior specifically for cosmetic skincare — La Micro-Lotion de Rose and La Micro-Huile de Rose Advanced Serum, both developed by Dior specifically for cosmetic skincare, reinvigorate the skin with optimum comfort. In particular, the latter promises to plump up the skin from the first application and gradually improve its vitality. Dior Prestige La Crème Texture Essentielle is an anti-ageing cream with Rosapeptide, which combines Rose de Granville with two collagen-boosting peptides to regenerate the skin.
Diptyque
Level up scenting the home with this season’s Diptyque limited-edition carousel set. The candle is themed around constellations and planets and comes with a golden carousel with planet-like charms that orbit above it when it is lit — much like an adult mobile. As a room fills with a classic Diptyque fragrance, it is an enchanting piece to watch. Even better, the carousel can be installed on the brand’s other standard candles too.
Chloé
The Chloé Signature Eau de Parfum coffret combines the brand’s most iconic scent, both as the original fragrance itself (including a travel-friendly 5ml size) and as a decadent body lotion. Because in life, no one is ever just one note, the fresh floral scent balances perfectly with notes of cedar and amber.
Givenchy
Givenchy’s L’Interdit Eau de Parfum — a perfect balance of light (orange blossom, jasmine, and tuberose) and dark (vetiver and patchouli) — pairs well with its newest lipstick, Le Rouge Interdit Silk. Both equally pronounced and recognisable, they are topped off with Volume Disturbia Mascara that not only adds volume, but also curves
lashes in a mind-blowing way.
