WHATEVER YOU GIFT, ADD A DIAMOND
This year, Toblerone is exploring your Christmas shopping challenges. Whether you’re a last-minute looker or a careful planner, here’s our top tip for confidence: ‘Add a Toblerone Diamond’, just in case.
Posie is organised, but even though she’s ticked everyone off the list, her youngest grandaughter still remains. Good thing she's remembered to add a perfect chocolatey diamond.
WHAT XMAS PERFUME WILL SHE LIKE?
I know she likes sweet, floral touches, but honestly, she’s not fussed. With Xmas around the corner, I want something festively explosive. What are the best Christmas perfumes for teenagers? Is there anything vibrant? Or fresh with a spicy note mix? Perfume is such a personal gift. Perhaps she’d like a designer bag instead?
TYPES OF PERFUMES
I think I’m fine with fragrances. But with so many out there, all with different scents. how do I pick the right gift for her?
It seems there are five fragrance categories, each with its “eau-n” strength? From parfum to eau de parfum, eau de toilette, eau de cologne, and eau fraiche, the world of scents is way more diverse. (Who knew?)
Parfum is the classic choice. It works for those with sensitive skin, like Suzi. And if she’s out all day with friends, she’ll want something that goes the distance. Parfum stays — at least six to eight hours.
DIFFERENT SCENT FAMILIES
I never knew scents had families—cool, huh? Each group—floral, oriental, woody, and fresh—comes with its own fragrance wheel, ready to guide you through a playful exploration of all their unique subfamilies.
Personally, I think Sirène by Fragrance Du Bois with its aroma of cherry and pepper in that first spray is delish.
Then again, Tom Ford’s Black Orchid is a corker. I don’t think Suzi has any chocolate-smelling perfume, and for a kid who loves chocolate, maybe I’ll go with that one.
CHRISTMAS PERFUME SETS
These Christmas perfume sets by Jo Malone are a great idea too. With sublime scents like English Pear or Wood Sage & Sea Salt on offer. It also says you can wear them alone or with any other cologne or bath/body products, without having to compromise on scent. They’re bound to make anyone’s day, let alone month!
Oh, and these small 9ml bottles are easy on the wallet and the wrapping. All I need now is a bow, some holly, and of course, the perfect finishing touch: a cheeky chocolate diamond.
