How do I find the perfect scent for someone else?Updated 2 months ago
Selecting a fragrance for someone special is a thoughtful gesture, as scent has the unique power to evoke emotions, memories, and connections. At Miller Harris, we believe that the perfect fragrance is as personal as the individual wearing it, and we’re here to guide you in making the right choice.
1. Consider Their Personality
Fragrance is an extension of one’s personality. When selecting a scent, think about the individual’s character and lifestyle. Are they bold and adventurous, or more serene and classic? Does their style lean toward the timeless and elegant, or the contemporary and fresh?
- For someone who enjoys bold, daring experiences, consider fragrances with deep, smoky, or spicy notes, such as La Fumée Alexandrie or Soufflot.
- If they are drawn to light, uplifting scents, look for fragrances with citrus or floral notes, like Lumière Dorée or Tea Tonique.
- For someone with a refined, understated style, scents with earthy woods or powdery notes may suit them best, such as Peau Santal or Hydra Figue.
2. Think About Their Lifestyle
Do they prefer a fragrance that is subtle and elegant for everyday wear, or a more dramatic scent for special occasions? Consider whether the recipient might enjoy a fragrance they can wear for both work and leisure or something they would reserve for special moments.
3. Gift a Fragrance Discovery Set
If you are unsure which scent to choose, consider gifting a Discovery Set. This set offers a curated selection of our 8x best-selling scents, allowing the recipient to explore and find their favourite. A beautifully packaged discovery set makes for a thoughtful and luxurious gift, and they can enjoy the journey of finding their new signature scent. Customers who purchase our Discovery Set are also gifted a £35 voucher to use towards a full-size fragrance.
4. Book a Fragrance Profiling Session
For a more immersive experience, consider gifting a Fragrance Profiling Session. This personalised consultation helps uncover an individual’s scent preferences through expert guidance and exploration. It is an ideal gift for someone who would enjoy discovering their signature scent in a meaningful and memorable way.
