Five scents to start with
Would you rather choose one scent yourself? Think about what she likes: flowers, something soft and clean, or something warm. Each of these scents comes in travel size for €14.95.
- Floral Elegance: bergamot and grapefruit with rose, lychee and jasmine, on patchouli and vanilla. Elegant and fresh, for women and one of our bestsellers.
- Peony Heaven: mandarin with peony, rose and peach, on musk. Light and floral, for women.
- Lotus Dew: lotus and freesia with peony and lily, on sandalwood and musk. Soft and floral, for women.
- White Musk: mimosa on soft musk and wood. Light and clean, unisex.
- Cloud of Happiness: blackcurrant and pear with white flowers, on praline and vanilla. Soft and warm, for women.
Give two and you pay €11.96 each, and the order comes in gift packaging with a free twist capsule.
The sets for her
- Iconic Femininity Set (€29.95): fresh citrus with rose, creamy vanilla with coffee, and iris with praline.
- Women's Autumn Set (€44.95): five warm scents, from powdery vanilla and soft musk to candied pear.
For your mother-in-law: play it safe
You often know your mother-in-law less well than your own mum. Then these three choices work:
- A set. With three scents she discovers herself which one suits her.
- A light scent. Soft, clean scents such as White Musk are the least outspoken, so they rarely miss.
- A gift card. From €10 to €50, with your personal message. We email it on the day you choose, to her or to you.
Ask your partner what she wears now, or have a quick look in the bathroom next time you visit. More tips are in our guide on giving perfume when you do not know their taste.
Beautifully wrapped
From two perfumes your order comes in gift packaging, with a free twist capsule. One single bottle comes without gift packaging, so wrap that one yourself: a 10 ml bottle fits in a small box or a pretty bag.
