Maybe it’s because we’re fragrance-obsessed, but there is no better gift to give a loved one for the holidays than a gorgeous perfume, cologne, extrait—you name it. In today’s oversaturated market, you’re being pushed a million ads for different luxury skincare, techy LED face masks, pricey at-home lasers, and more, nestled within neatly packaged gift guides that claim to make gifting “simpler.” While we do love poring over these recs, the ultimate result is option overwhelm. My team and I’s personal recommendation? Go for the perfume gift sets.
Simply put, gifting a fragrance is downright thoughtful. Choosing a scent is one of the most intimate and personalized ways to express your love for someone, especially because perfume is something we won’t necessarily splurge on for ourselves. Even if you don’t know which type of scent your giftee usually goes for, chances are they’ll fall for one in the spread of options most of the sets worth their salt offer.
To lend a helping hand—as people who received, tested, sniffed, and sorted all the best fragrances of 2025 for a living—we're featuring 25 of the best perfume gift sets we'd personally love to receive this season. From warm and spicy to fresh and clean to a little bit of everything, we've got your back. Keep scrolling!

Best Overall: Jo Malone Mini Cologne Collection Holiday Gift Set
Items: 5 | Contents: Mini fragrances | Fragrance family: Citrus, floral, fresh, spicy, gourmand, woody
Maybe it’s because I’m giving this exact set to my mom this year (shh, don’t tell!), but there’s no other perfume gift set that I’d recommend more than this one. From the chic packaging to the reasonable price, this set perfectly matches its value. “This Jo Malone set is stellar,” agrees Who What Wear beauty editor Kaitlyn McLintock. “It contains mini versions of the brand's most iconic scents.”
Best Luxury Set: Dior The Perfumer’s Palette
Items: 8 | Contents: Mini fragrances | Fragrance family: Woody, floral, warm, floral, fresh, spicy
If your giftee has expensive taste (or a seriously chic nose), you won’t want to pass up this opportunity to nab eight of the brand’s prestige fragrances for approximately the pricey of one 3.4-ounce bottle. This mini set is abloom with sensual woody aromas, woody undertones, and romantic florals—offering a final designer touch to any outfit.
Best Luxury on a Budget: Chloé Perfume Mini 4-Piece Gift Set
Items: 4 | Contents: Mini fragrances | Fragrance family: Floral, warm, gourmand, spicy
Senior editor Jamie Schneider originally recommended this now sold-out Chloé Atelier des Fleurs set, but this budget-friendly option from the same brand is just as good of a gift. This mini set includes four iterations of Chloé’s hero perfume (Chloé Eau de Parfum, of course), including stronger versions, vanilla-soaked takes, floral reinterpretations, and more. Plus, it’s just $70.
For the Baccarat Rouge Lover: Maison Francis Kurkdjian Miniatures Set
Items: 4 | Contents: Mini fragrances | Fragrance family: Warm, woody, floral, gourmand
It takes a lot of manpower for a single fragrance to become a household name, but Maison Francis Kurkdjian’s Baccarat Rouge 540 has certainly done it. (When even my grandma is asking for the spendy scent, that’s how you know.) Though you could easily snag a dupe (there are too many to count now, but we found the best for you anyway), why not give your loved ones the actual thing—plus a few extras!—with the brand’s Miniatures Set? In addition to a small bottle of Baccarat, you also get three other iconic scents for much less than the price of one that’s full-size. Girl math!
For the Cool Person: Byredo Les Miniatures Fragrance Set
Items: 5 | Contents: Mini fragrances | Fragrance family: Floral, fresh, woody, spicy
Both Schneider and I would beeline to this Byredo set in the perfume aisle. (No really, I just did while visiting the Nordstrom flagship in New York City.) Byredo famously makes some of the industry’s coolest It girl-approved scents, which adds even more allure to its nondescript names and oh-so cool bottles. (Literally, what does a Mojave Ghost smell like? Heaven, I tell you.)
Best Viral Scent: YSL Beauty Mini Libre Eau de Parfum Perfume Duo Gift Set
Items: 2 | Contents: 1 oz. fragrance, travel spray | Fragrance family: Warm floral
No one can deny the chokehold that YSL Beauty’s Libre has had on the general population for quite some time. Beauty fanatics and regular shoppers alike agree that the scent’s sensual disposition—a blend of orange blossom, lavender, and warm vanilla—form an unsuspecting addictive scent that takes you seamlessly from day to night. You get a small-sized (not mini!) Libre perfume bottle for home and travel-sized tube for your 2026 travels.
For the Francophile: Diptyque Les Essences de Diptyque
Items: 5 | Contents: Mini fragrances | Fragrance family: Citrus, marine, spicy, woody, warm, floral, gourmand, earthy
French beauty lovers, behold: mini bottles of Diptyque’s spendy fragrances—five of them, at that—can be yours for less than the price of one regular bottle. Each bottle houses one of the brand’s most popular fragrances, including Lilyphéa, Lunamaris, Corail Oscuro, and more. You’ll be hard-pressed to find a deal this good on such coveted scents.
Best For Gen-Z: Phlur Mini Perfume Sampler Set
Items: 4 | Contents: Mini fragrances | Fragrance family: Woody, floral, earthy, gourmand, warm
“I'm obsessed with Phlur fragrances, and these mini bottles are my favorite beauty collectibles of the year,” says McLintock. “They're undeniably adorable, and they hold four of my favorite Phlur scents: Vanilla Skin, Rose Whip, Father Figure, and Missing Person (my signature scent)!” Plus, the total value of this box scratches nearly $100—do the math, and you’ve got a good deal.
Best Warm Floral: Prada Paradoxe Eau de Parfum Gift Set
Items: 3 | Contents: 3 oz. perfume, travel spray, 1.6 oz. body lotion | Fragrance family: Warm floral
If you’re shopping for someone who wishes they could bathe in Prada Paradoxe (or a woody floral in general), I urge you to turn your attention towards this festive gift set. Adorned in a holiday-themed green box (does it even need wrapping paper?), this set includes a small bottle of Paradoxe Eau de Parfum, a travel-sized tube, and a body lotion infused with the same scent.
Best Romantic: Valentino Mini Donna Born in Roma Eau de Parfum & Donna Born in Roma Extradose Parfum Duo Gift Set
Items: 2 | Contents: Mini fragrances | Fragrance family: Floral
For the floral lovers, McLintock doesn’t hesitate to recommend this romantic mini duo. “Valentino's Donna Born in Roma is one of my favorite designer perfumes. It's warm, sophisticated, and timeless,” she remarks. “This gift set includes the original and the Extra Dose version, which is slightly deeper and darker with notes of cassis and rum accord.”
For Signature Scent-Searchers: Le Labo Holiday Fragrance Discovery Set
Items: 4 | Contents: Mini fragrances | Fragrance family: Woody, earthy, floral, fresh, citrus
Le Labo is the arbiter of cool, and because of that, these scents are (usually) quite expensive. However, this discovery scent retails for just $90 and offers mini versions of some of the brand’s best-selling scents to get to know them yourself at a much lower rate. Your giftee may just find their signature scent in this set.
Best Festive Set: Penhaligon’s Festive Fragrance Library Discovery Set
Items: 8 | Contents: Mini fragrances | Fragrance family: Floral, woody, spicy, musky, earthy, fresh
There’s not much to dislike about the prestige British perfumery Penhaligon’s—it’s even Royal Family-approved. Since the brand carries extensive collections of deeply curated fragrances, it can be hard to meet your sensorial match on your first turn about the store. However, a festive discovery set like this $50 pick gives your scent-obsessed giftee a condensed edit. Plus, how perfect is the holiday-ready box?
For Seasonal-Scent Lovers: Maison Margiela ‘Replica' Mini Perfume Coffret Set
Items: 5 | Contents: Mini fragrances | Fragrance family: Solar, musky, woody, warm, spicy, gourmand, floral
I don’t know about you, but I can’t dedicate myself to one scent throughout the year. As the seasons change, I prefer to shift my perfumes as well—meaning breezier, saltier scents in the summer, crisper fragrances in the fall, so on and so forth. This five-pack from Margiela offers the perfect assortment for seasonal wear, including Jazz Club that feels oh-so fall, By the Fireplace for a true winter scent, On a Date for Spring… I could go on and on. Oh, and it’s only $75!
Best Complete Set: Granado Esplendor Scented Trio
Items: 3 | Contents: 0.84 oz. perfume, 1.7 oz. hand cream, bar soap | Fragrance family: Sweet, warm, spicy, woody
My sister discovered this scent in Paris and fell in love, so what better way to gift a favorite fragrance than with a full set of scent-infused options? This Esplendor scent from Granado includes the scent itself, hand cream, and ultra-chic bar soap to outfit your giftee’s entire routine in this delectable scent.
Best Everyday Collection: Lake & Skye 11 11 Collection Travel Spray Trio Set
Items: 3 | Contents: Travel spray | Fragrance family: Woody, floral, gourmand, warm, sweet
There are some scents that were simply made to worship skin, and this trio from Lake and Skye is the perfect example. Each numerology-inspired scent is an iteration of the brand’s hero fragrance, 11 11, which is a true woody scent (perfect for layering). The others combine florals, sweet vanilla, and fruity amber to form different elixirs of the woody scent while keeping its grounded base at the core.
For the Risk-Taker: Christian Louboutin Fétiche Eaux de Parfum 5-Piece Set
Items: 5 | Contents: Mini fragrances | Fragrance family: Musky, floral, fruity, spicy, earthy
I personally tire of a “normal” perfume and like to try something a little different every now and then. Enter, Christian Louboutin’s Fétiche Eaux de Parfum Set: a collection of sharp-scented minis that feature the brand’s iconic stiletto heel and look fabulous sitting on your desk. The perfumes dance between leathers and florals, chyphre and fruit, and so many more unexpected combinations that make the experience delightfully unique. This gift requires a specific type of recipient—do they have what it takes?
