Best fragrance sets

Tiana Crispino/Byrdie

A bottle of perfume truly is one of those quintessential, timeless gifts. The only issue? Unless you know your recipient’s *exact* scent preferences, it can be incredibly hard to choose a fragrance that you know they are going to like. Enter the beauty of a perfume gift set. For starters, a set just feels more special and giftable than a single bottle. Not to mention that many come with several different fragrances, both upping the likelihood that your giftee will find one they like and allowing them to try several different ones. And if you do know what perfume they like to wear, you can pick up a gift set that features it, along with a few ancillary items. Dare we say that it really just makes sense.

4.9
Tory Burch Essence of Dreams Fragrance Discovery Set

Tory Burch

This comes with mini versions of each of the five fragrances in the brand’s latest collection, all of which feature a variety of different notes, offering a little something for everyone. We also appreciate that they’re housed in mini bottles, rather than the classic rollerballs.

Price at time of publish: $65

What Our Testers Say

“The Essence of Dreams collection is a clean, concise curation of classic scents dreamt up in a new way. It truly offers something for everyone. Whether you wear them alone or layer them to create your bespoke fragrance, each helps to inspire optimism and dreams of a brighter future.”—Tynan Sinks, Product Tester

Marc Jacobs Perfect Eau de Parfum Gift Set

Marc Jacobs Perfect Eau de Parfum Gift Set

Ulta

Different from a classic floral, this fragrance (the designer’s 100th!) balances out top notes of daffodil with fruity rhubarb and creamy almond milk and woodsy cedar. Here, you get a one ounce bottle and a mini spray bottle.

Price at time of publish: $85

What Our Testers Say

“Perfect is really lovely and not what I expected. It’s a bit more reserved than some of the other Marc offerings, but it’s alluring in a way that keeps you coming back to sniff it again and again, to make sure you really got it.”—Tynan Sinks, Product Tester

Memo Paris Eau de Parfum Discovery Set

Memo Paris Eau de Parfum Discovery Set

Key Features

“A floral, woody, musk scent, Marfa by Memo was created in 2016. Marfa, TX is known for its near mythical status in certain circles—there's stargazing, art installations, and a dreamy desert landscape—and the perfume captures that magical essence.”—Amy Lawrenson, former Byrdie UK editorial director

Sephora Favorites Perfume Sampler Set
