Holiday fragrance gifts 2011, part 2

Posted by Robin on 27 November 2011 14 Comments

Our series of holiday gift posts continues; today we've got travel sizes, coffrets and roll-ons — and we'll have more of the same coming up next week. If you missed part 1 (scented body products), you can find it here.

Chantecaille rollons

From Chantecaille, new travel roll-ons, each in its own case: "Chantecaille's beautiful signature scents now have convenience and portability. The elegant, silk-screened glass tube arrives in a chic white faux-croc pouch." $68 for 8 ml, available in Petales, Kalimantan, Vetyver, Tiare and Frangipane. At Neiman Marcus.

 

Marc Jacobs Signature, travel set

From Marc Jacobs, a purse spray in the brands signature fragrance: "Marc Jacobs describes his signature fragrance, a modern interpretation of the classic gardenia, as a bowl of fresh-cut flowers. The scent doesn't overwhelm but rather reveals itself to only the most intimate acquaintances. .25 fluid ounce glass bottle in a white ziparound travel case stamped with Marc Jacobs's logo." $100 at Neiman Marcus.

 

Marc Jacobs roll-on set

More Marc Jacobs, for the younger (or younger at heart) set: 10 ml roll-ons in Daisy, Daisy Eau So Fresh and Lola. $38 at Ulta.

 

Mark Instant Vacation trio

From Avon's Mark brand, the Instant Vacation Fragrance Trio Collection: "It’s everywhere she wants to go-all in one gift! These three best-selling scents from our Instant Vacation fragrance line- original Instant Vacation, Costa Rica Instant Vacation and Ibiza Sol Instant Vacation-will automatically transport her to sunny spots with a single spritz." Three 15 ml bottles, $18 at Mark.

 

Lush perfume kig

From Lush, a coffret of 2 ml samples (perfumes vary by country; in the US the set includes Imogen Rose, Orange Blossom, Lust, Tuca Tuca, Karma, Breath of God, Vanillary and The Smell of Freedom.). $20 at Lush USA. (Update: there is also a  set with Love, Superworldunknown, Dear John, 1000 Kisses Deep, B Scent, Cocktail, Ladyboy and The Smell of Weather Turning for $25. Hat tip to Dionne!)

 

Acqua Colonia miniature set

From 4711's Acqua Colonia line, a set of 10 ml sprays in five scents (Lemon & Ginger, Melissa & Verbena, Rhubarb & Clary Sage, Blood Orange & Basil and Juniper Berry & Marjoram). I'm sorry to say I don't know where or if you can get this in the US (please comment if you've seen the brand here), but Douglas in Germany has it for 27€.

 

Clinique Complete Happy

From Clinique, the Complete Happiness coffret: "A happy ensemble of fragrance notes: bright floral Clinique Happy and rich floral Clinique Happy Heart, plus limited-edition Happy in Bloom, Happy Wealth of Flowers and Happy Hint of Citrus." 7 ml each, $38 at Bloomingdales.

 

Juicy Couture Travel Spray Gift Set

From Juicy Couture, the Travel Spray Gift Set, with 10 ml sprays of Juicy Couture, Viva La Juicy and Couture Couture. $35 at Dillards.

    That Lush coffret sure is a good way for me to try their fragrances, since I haven’t yet! That’s a great deal.

      It is a nice deal, and cute Lush-ish packaging.

    The Chantecaille’s would be fun, but at $68 each— ouch.

    The 4711 Acqua Colonia would be nice, too, and the price seems far more reasonable. Too bad they’re not clearly available in the US.

      4711 is available here, so these might be too — I just don’t know where!

    I fancy miniatures! Wonder if they prepared any for male fragrances this gift season

      I know there are a few, although not so many as for women. But check Sephora — they’ve got several coffrets of men’s miniatures.

    The Marc Jacobs purse spray is only $10? Is that a typo or is it for real?

      It’s a typo! I just ran over to the website thinking it was the steal of the decade. It actually costs $100.

      So sorry, it looks like a mistake, NM shows it at $100.

    That Acqua Colonia line is calling my name. I’ve been wanting to try some of these for YEARS! Humm, no plans for traveling to Europe yet….
