A gift for someone who has everything: give something that gets used
The best gift for someone who has everything is something that gets used up. Seven ideas with perfume from €10 to €50: a new scent to discover, a favourite in a large bottle or a gift card.
In this article
What do you give someone who needs nothing? Something that gets used up. A gift that is finished after a while takes up no room in the cupboard, and until then it is a pleasure every day. Perfume in a small bottle is exactly that. Below you will find seven ideas from €10 to €50.
In short
- Give something that gets used up, not something to put away
- A new scent to discover: 10 ml for €14.95
- Already has a favourite scent? Give it in 60 ml for €34.95
- Rather let them choose? A gift card from €10 to €50
- For Christmas, order no later than Sunday 20 December
What makes a good gift for someone who has everything?
- It gets used up. A 10 ml bottle lasts about a month. After that there is room for something new.
- It is small. A travel size bottle fits in a coat pocket or bag. No one has to make room for it.
- It is something they would not buy themselves. Most people stick to the scent they know. A new one is a small discovery.
- It is personal. You choose a scent for a person, not for a house.
Seven ideas from €10 to €50
| Idea | Price | Why it works |
|---|---|---|
| Gift card | from €10 | They choose themselves, and it arrives by email on the day you choose |
| One new scent in travel size | €14.95 | A small discovery that lasts about a month |
| Two scents | €23.92 | In gift packaging, with a free twist capsule |
| A set with three scents | €29.95 | Three scents to try, so there is almost always one that fits |
| Their favourite in 60 ml | €34.95 | Six times a travel size of the scent they already love |
| Travel Pouch | €39.95 | For someone who already has the scents: a pouch for three bottles |
| A set with five warm scents | €44.95 | A different scent for every mood |
A new scent to discover
Someone who has everything often has one perfume too, and has worn it for years. A second scent next to it is a gift they would not buy themselves. These scents are unisex, so you do not have to guess:
- Cabin Heritage: violet and cardamom on sandalwood and cedar. Warm and woody, unisex and our bestseller.
- Royal Garden: saffron and jasmine on amberwood and cedar. Elegant and warm, unisex.
- Golden Dust: powdery vanilla with coconut and heliotrope, on white musk. New this autumn and unisex.
- Holy Amber: rum, bitter orange and ginger with a curl of incense, on tonka bean, vanilla and myrrh. New this autumn and unisex.
Give two and you pay €11.96 each, so €23.92 together. Your order then comes in gift packaging, with a free twist capsule: the case the bottle slides into.
Already has a favourite scent from us?
Then make it bigger or handier. Every scent is also available in a 60 ml bottle for €34.95: six times as much as a travel size. Or give the Travel Pouch for €39.95. It holds three bottles with their twist capsules and is made of vegan leather, in Cognac or Black.
Or let them choose
With the Sentir gift card the recipient chooses. Pick an amount from €10 to €50 and add a personal message. We email the gift card on the day you choose, to the recipient or to you. A nice extra: point them to our perfume quiz. Eight short questions, and they get six scents that suit them.
Giving together?
With a few people you can give a set, for example one of these with three or five scents:
- Iconic Femininity Set (€29.95): fresh citrus with rose, creamy vanilla with coffee, and iris with praline.
- Iconic Men Scents Set (€29.95): bergamot with wood, cognac with cinnamon, and amber with vanilla.
- Women's Autumn Set (€44.95): five warm scents, from powdery vanilla and soft musk to candied pear.
- Men's Autumn Set (€44.95): five warm scents, from smoky wood and spiced amber to vanilla.
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.

Frequently asked questions
What do you give someone who has everything?
Something that gets used up. A small bottle of perfume, a set to try or a gift card: it gives pleasure without taking up room.
Is perfume a good gift if they already have a perfume?
Yes. A travel size of 10 ml is a second scent next to the one they know, for another moment or another mood.
Which scent do you choose if you do not know their taste?
Choose a unisex scent or a set with three scents. More tips are in our guide on giving perfume when you do not know their taste.
What if the scent is not right?
Test it at home with up to about three sprays. Not the right one? Then it can go back within 30 days. In the Netherlands, Belgium and Germany, returns are free.
When should I order for Christmas?
Order no later than Sunday 20 December. Shipping in the Netherlands, Belgium and Germany usually takes 1 to 2 working days.
