Posted by Robin on 3 December 2013 14 Comments

Our 2013 series of holiday gift posts continues — today we’ve got travel sizes and coffrets, plus perfume subscription plans for sample-fiend perfumistas. If you missed it, check out Part 1: scented body products. Up next: home fragrance, probably on Thursday, then men's fragrance gifts coming up this weekend.

    I just wanted to let you know that the Aerin Coffret is available at Sak’s in the US.

    I would love the Ellie D scents.

    Purse spray looks fab, really fab! That Aerin coffret gets my attention as well. I need to try both lines! I love purse sprays with refills, your fave scent on-the-go. I just love the Kilian one, has a magnetic type closure I think on the cap..I just love the silver case as well.

      So far, do not love the Aerin line, but they’re nicely done & it would make a good present. But I’ll take the Aedes myself ;-)

    Well, at least the Macy’s set is fairly priced! (Just about only nice thing I can say about it, though. . . hope Santa doesn’t think I need one!)

      I am hoping Santa knows to give that to some young pop music fan, and to just give me the Aedes travel spray. Although I’d also take the Ellie D.

    I have travel spray envy with the Aedes one. I thought it only came in the original perfume but given that it is also available in Iris Nazarena, I will bump it up on my Wish List.

    The Olfactive Studio Discovery Set is also available at LuckyScent (as of last week). I am getting that from Santa this year ;-)

    Nice selection!

      I think we all have travel spray envy.

      Congrats on your discovery set, that will be fun!

    Thanks for mentioning Etiket in Montreal – they are now my local niche shop and I want them to do well. The Olfactive Studio kit looks fab!
