The Value of Fragrance Gift Sets

The Value of Fragrance Gift Sets

Canadians love fragrance gifts sets. So much so that some retailers in the past have reported that 40% of fragrance sales in December are gift sets. This is because designer fragrance gift sets offer the best value for money of the year. For a little more than the price of a single bottle of eau de parfum, you can get one or two extra items for free. The travel sprays are particularly popular in these sets as you can slip them into a bag or toiletry pouch for travel or the gym.

What you may not know is that some brands offer exclusive items in these gift sets you can’t find anywhere else. Take the sleek Versace travel cosmetics case for holiday 2025. This beautiful case is only available in the three-piece gift sets.

Even the gift boxes are special. The Versace boxes feature prints taken from the fashion archives in Milan. You would have seen models wearing outfits sporting the prints in previous Milan Fashion Weeks.

And new this year are extra-large fragrance bottle sets. Called ‘jumbo bottles’ in the industry, these 150 ml or 200 ml bottles are hugely popular with teens and twenty-somethings. These bottles appear with a travel spray in stylish gift boxes.

Here are some of our very favourite fragrance gift sets for holiday 2024.
