Bourgie Gifts

Those of you close to me have probably already heard me raving about this awesome gift my sister bought me for Christmas. For those of you who haven't, I'm going to share with you one of the coolest gifts I've ever received, and will add that I highly recommend this as a gift idea.


From left to right: Refillable fragrance atomizer (with funnel),
12 fragrance samplers, and voucher/info on each sample provided.
What Is It?
Sephora sells several types of fragrance samplers (Remember: We say "fragrance," not "perfume.")  - some for women, some for men. The one I received is the Fragrance Deluxe Sampler. This sampler has the following fragrance samples (listed in the order that I've tried them):

  1. .05 oz Juicy Couture Eau de Parfum
  2. .05 oz Coach Poppy Flower Eau de Parfum
  3. .04 oz Marc Jacobs Daisy Eau de Toilette
  4. .05 oz DKNY pureDKNY Verbena Scent Spray
  5. .05 oz Giorgio Armani Acqua di Gioa Eau de Parfum
  6. .05 oz Dolce and Gabbana Light Blue Eau de Toilette
  7. .03 oz Givenchy Very Irresistible L'Intense Eau de Parfum
  8. .05 oz Prada Infusion D'Iris Eau de Parfum
  9. .05 oz Bvlgari Mon Jasmin Noir Eau de Parfum
  10. .05 oz Versace Bright Crystal Eau de Toilette  
  11. .05 oz Clinique Happy Eau de Parfum
  12. .06 oz Gucci Guilty Eau de Toilette 
How Does it Work?
You get to sample a dozen fragrances. A dozen. I recommend putting one on in the morning, and wearing that fragrance all day. You could be surprised; some fragrances smell much better on your body as you move throughout your day.

Once you pick your favorite, head over to a Sephora store near you, and trade in your certificate for a bottle of the fragrance!

Why This is an Amazing Gift
Many people seek different fragrances when they are going through a change in their life, as well as when the seasons change. If you gift this to someone during the December holidays, this enables them to select a new fragrance for the new year - or at least to try something different (which may also be a new year's resolution). If you give someone you love one of these sets for Valentine's Day, it's a two-fer: They get to pick a fragrance to take them into Spring, and you get to cozy up and smell them wearing something different every day (for almost two weeks), and will hopefully get to help them pick the one you like the best.  

Selecting a fragrance that someone else will like is a daunting task, but these Sephora gift sets allow you to give them two hands full of fragrances, while allowing them to choose the one they like best.
