INSPIRATION AND ADVICE

4 FRAGRANCES FOR THE WOMEN IN YOUR LIFE

By Flo Bellinger, 15 December 2025

Fragrance is a winning gift if you know the scent preference of your loved ones. And figuring that out is surprisingly simple: all you need is a sense of her vibe. Is she sporty? Old-school? Into small-batch bakeries and wine bars? The things she enjoys day-to-day are key to unlocking the perfect fragrance. Not only do perfume profiles take inspiration from the natural world – meaning they’re designed to complement your lifestyle – but if you do your research, a good fragrance is a cost-effective gift that’ll see plenty of use. Plus, they’re thoughtful enough to suit almost all the women in your life, from your mum to your partner. We’ve selected four scents to gift this festive season, each with a different vibe. Here are the highlights.

FOR THE ONE WITH A PLAYFUL WARDROBE

Moschino Pearl Eau de Parfum 50ml Set | ASOS Style Feed

Moschino Pearl Eau de Parfum 50ml Set, £72

She’s usually found sipping orange wine from a too-small wine glass, munching truffle-flavoured crisps and scrolling for a bold new pair of shoes (like the PUMA Speedcat Doelette). A frequent visitor to independent art galleries, this girl might be the hardest to buy for, given her niche and specific tastes. But fear not. It’s just about striking a balance. You need a fragrance that’s as wild on the outside as it is on the inside, like Moschino Pearl. This is a zesty, woody scent peppered with florals and fruits, including lemon, oregano and cypress. And with an added body wash and lotion, it's a gift that’ll keep on giving well into 2026.

FOR THE ONE WITH HER HEAD IN THE CLOUDS

Ariana Grande Cloud Eau De Parfum 30ml Gift Set, £38

This woman gets by on daydreams. She’s easily pleased and easy to buy for. She’ll probably get the most joy from giving to others, and she’s endlessly grateful no matter the gift. To thank her for her services to present purchasing, a clean and simple fragrance is your go-to. Even better if it’s sweet and soft, just like her. Nothing beats Ariana Grande’s Cloud in this regard, with its fresh sensual scent that’s beloved by almost everyone. Not only does it suit a range of people, but the fun packaging also makes an ideal treat. This limited version of the timeless parfum comes in an additional travel-sized bottle for extra special festive gifting.

FOR THE ONE WITH AN EXTENSIVE BEAUTY ROUTINE

Jimmy Choo Original Gift Set: Eau de Parfum 60ml + Body Lotion 100ml Plastic Free | ASOS Style Feed

Jimmy Choo Original Gift Set: Eau de Parfum 60ml + Body Lotion 100ml, £68

This woman winds down in front of the mirror – think elevated bottles of soap, colourful striped towels and herbaceous bath products. She's a lover of viral products but always keeps a toe in the margins – so you’ll want a fragrance that’s renowned yet unique. This Jimmy Choo Original gift set features the cult favourite fragrance alongside a body lotion, offering a rich, warming spray of sweet Italian orange. The minimalist bottle will also slot perfectly into her carefully curated bathroom.

FOR THE ONE WITH A VERY IMPORTANT JOB

She never has a hair out of place. She owns a crisp wardrobe complete with organised sock drawer. She probably has a sizeable collection of sharp heels and a high-powered job that requires a briefcase. For this girl boss, you’ll need a fragrance that’s classic, strong and neatly packaged. BOSS The Scent for Her ticks all the boxes, with a classic fruity and floral fragrance finished with notes of musk. The timeless scent is matched by a chic gift box and sleek glass bottle, so rest assured this won’t disrupt her impeccably organised shelf.
