Hack: How to buy a fragrance for someone you love?
LOVE IT OR LOATH IT!
Gift giving is always tough! Here at Fragrapedia Haus, we believe it should be about treating someone you love with a scent that’s perfect for them!
Our guide has several suggestions to help you find some truly fabulous fragrances that will truly suit them, and which they’re bound to fall for…
Do they want to try something new?
If you have no idea what they like and you think they would like to try something new. Try to get them an exploratory box of gorgeous mini sizes and samples from a range of luxury, niche and top-end designer fragrance houses. That way they can explore and try them all in the comfort of their own home, and own time. It’s a brilliant way to get people to try fragrances they’ve perhaps never heard of, or wouldn’t have thought about spraying in a shop. SO many people discovered their all-time scent loves this way!
How may you know if a fragrance will suit them?
Think about the way they decorate their home or how they dress, – this is an excellent indication as to their character, and therefore the style of scent they probably prefer. Are there colours they normally go for or particular materials they’re drawn towards? Fragrance, texture and colour and have many qualities in common.
Huge amounts of time and money are spent ‘matching’ the juice to the mood evoked by those hues and colours of the scents – or described with those words, such as ‘velvety’, ‘suede’ or ‘crisp cotton’ in the notes. Therefore the packaging is derived form the look.
Or consider their hobbies: artists might prefer a more luxurious scent, or sporty gym types might prefer fresher scents.
Once you’ve narrowed it down, the best solution is to buy a Brand Set: these showcase a wide selection of scents from the same house, and chances are if they already like one, they could choose another in that range.
Do you know their favorite scent?
A google search for matching scents. Have a look at matching products available, such as travel-size versions, a decadent bath oil, rich body cream or even a fragranced hair mist. Or some fragrance houses offer engraving or other forms of personalization for a full-size bottle.

Choosing a scent isn't difficult, some people like fragrances you’d never guess! The best thing is that excitement of finding a new scent love is a gift that keeps on giving and showing how much you love them for years to come…
