Many people think about whether a bottle of good perfume would be appropriate as a gift. Yes, if they have been very well matched to the preferences of the person to whom the gift is intended.
But another question is when, and most importantly, to whom can you give the perfume. If, for example, a beloved girl or mother will be incredibly pleased to receive Chanel number 5 perfume as a gift, then the boss will simply not appreciate such a gesture.
Therefore, it is worth knowing to whom it will be appropriate to present the perfume as a gift.
4 categories of people to whom you can give perfume
There is no such person who does not like a good perfume. It is believed that everyone should have at least three different smells: one for a loved one, the second for relaxation, and the third for work and everyday life.
And it is on this basis that it is worth choosing this or that fragrance as a gift to a close or familiar person.
There are 4 groups of people who are allowed to present perfume as a present, namely:
- People in serious relationships. It will be very appropriate to please your wife with perfume for any occasion or as a simple sign of attention. Sensual aromas are more suitable for her, maybe even with notes of aphrodisiacs. It is also customary for husbands to give such perfumes, which they use only alone with their halves, for example, the Chanel Egoiste Platinum fragrance is perfect, reviews about which you can read on the Internet.
- Relatives. Each of us is well aware of the aromatic preferences of our loved ones. But this does not mean that you can give absolutely any perfume. It is best to choose perfume for relatives everyday, without a hint of eroticism.
- Close friends. With friends, the situation is similar as with relatives. It is also appropriate for them to make a gift in the form of a good perfume, but it is best to choose a bright aroma for relaxation and an active lifestyle.
- Colleagues. With colleagues, things are a little more complicated. The fact is that relationships at work between employees develop amicably, but not so much as to be close friends. Perfume for a colleague will be very appropriate as a gift, but fragrances should be chosen strict and unobtrusive.
When planning to give someone a perfume, you do not need to rely only on your own preferences, it is best to find out the aromatic tastes of the person to whom the gift is intended.

Dear readers, this article is written especially for men. "Accidentally" send him a link so that on March 8th you don't end up with an epilator, a mug or an anti-cellulite cream ..
Slimming products

If a girl is extremely concerned about her body and constantly jumps from one diet to another, this does not mean that a man should take a direct part in these experiments. Even if you notice that for the second week in a row your chosen one refuses pasta and desserts, do not give her anti-cellulite creams, diet pills, Talmuds with the next ideas of Hollywood nutritionists, and never give a scale (even the most modern scales that are synchronized with iPhone). To hand them over is the same as answering in the affirmative to the question: "Do you think I have grown fat?"
Anti-wrinkle and acne creams
The list of "What should not be given to a woman" is continued by any cosmetic products designed to get rid of external imperfections - first of all, from wrinkles and acne. Believe me, the girl will cope with them herself or with the help of a beautician. A man's business is not to notice small defects, even if they are the size of an elephant.
Plastic surgery
Of course, if your girlfriend has repeatedly said that she wants breasts like Irina Shayk, nose like Kate Middleton, and as little ass as possible, then plastic surgery from a reputable surgeon will be an excellent gift. But if the body parts of Shayk and Middleton seem to be reference only to you, and not to your soul mate, expect not gratitude, but a scandal.
Souvenirs
What you can't give a girl is banal souvenirs. Teddy bears, photo frames, fridge magnets and mugs with pseudo-funny inscriptions have been on the mezzanine since school days. You don't want your present to go there, do you?
Pet
If, while visiting, a young lady selflessly squeezed a blue-eyed kitten or was touched by a lop-eared rabbit, this does not mean that she is ready to provide them with a residence permit in her apartment. Believe me, the love for newly pasted wallpaper, an ikea sofa and a new dressing room with new shoes will outweigh both Murzik's blue eyes and Eeyore's fluffy tail. As a result, the animal will move to you, and you will re-glue the wallpaper and buy new shoes for her.
Perfume and decorative cosmetics
The most seemingly popular gifts can be disastrous if you know nothing about perfume and cosmetics. Are you sure your lady wants to smell like creamy caramel or grandma's powder? Do you know for sure that she needs green eyeshadow and orange blush? If not, don't rely on the advice of sales assistants. They know your girlfriend even less.
Epilator
A state-of-the-art razor looks great on your bathroom shelf - just like the brutal three-day stubble on your face. But who told you that a woman's body generally has hair? They are not there, as are the cuticles on the nails. And that's why - this is a great female secret. Don't destroy it with gadgets.
Clothes and underwear
If you know each other recently. If the girl is hiding the size of her clothes. If your eye is not a diamond. In all these cases, do not buy free clothes or underwear. An XS size dress for a girl with a figure of Scarlett Johansson will become as much a cause for tears as a bra with "C" cups for the conventional Keira Knightley.
Package for two
A great gift, but in this case there are some nuances. The idea should be abandoned, firstly, if you barely know each other, and the girl does not differ in her open-mindedness. Secondly, if she cannot take a vacation for this period. Thirdly, if you bought a ticket to Kenya, knowing that she dreams of Paris. Finally, if you offered to pay her half.
Counterfeits
The Zara bag is better than the real Birkin, and the bold Asos necklace will give odds to the "lime" Marni. Willy-nilly, such a gift will lead to reflections on the sincerity of your feelings. Don't be surprised when the joy of a Chinese iPhone or a fake bag is also fake.
Money
We all understand: in a busy work schedule, you didn't find time to get to the store, the delivery of the online store failed, or your only drawback is the lack of imagination. But ... Do you remember the phrase "It's not a gift, attention is dear"? So, money in an envelope is proof of a lack of attention to the person to whom the gift is intended. Even if you have been married for 20 years and she says that she has "everything and so it is."
Beauty salon certificate / Shop gift card
The idea is good, but the embodiment is not always. A gift card with bright numbers indicating the amount is equivalent to money in an envelope or a gift with an uncut price tag. With a certificate for a particular service, it's just as easy to get into trouble. You cannot give a woman a haircut and styling if the sweetheart has been faithful to her hairdresser for many years, do not confuse Thai massage with Balinese, and eyelash extension with nail extension. And you certainly shouldn't choose a certificate based on the "Close to home" or "Good discounts" principle. We are ready to go to the other end of the city and pay exorbitant prices if we are confident in the quality of services and the level of service.
Something unreasonably expensive
It is important to understand the difference between unreasonably expensive and rightfully expensive. The first category includes a miracle cream for 100 thousand rubles, if a friend of the heart lives in a rented apartment in a residential area and travels by metro. She will still determine the value of the gift and mentally convert it into more necessary things. By the way, these include Chanel-Dior-Louis Viutton bags or Bvlgari-Cartier-Tiffany & Co jewelry (there is no point in emphasizing what you need, you need everything). Do you understand the difference?
You have been dating for a long time, acquaintances consider you a couple, and you would really like to know how he treats you? Remember: what he gave you the last time ...
1. Toaster
Who is he. Solid, reliable and practical, rather a getter than a thinker or poet.
He plans to spend many, many days with you. His dream is a quiet Sunday morning, two cups of coffee, toast, butter, two newspapers and a lazy, unhurried conversation. He strives for a stable and reliable relationship, sees in you a wife, perhaps a mother of a large family. His gift for the kitchen and everyday life means that he expects both of you to be warm, satisfying and tasty at the hearth.
How to react. Thinking about marriage, choosing curtains for the kitchen and a bedspread for a double bed. If you do not express violent delight at the sight of a toaster, he will be surprised: "How, you do not like bread?" and in his mouth it will sound a formidable accusation. A woman should appreciate the aroma of toasted bread and respect a man.
2. Red or black sexy lace lingerie
Who is he. A shy and timid young man who wants to be seduced and hesitates to state his desires out loud. Or a selfish man looking to get more pleasure out of your sexual relationship.
What does this mean for your relationship. He finds you very attractive and recommends that you behave in bed more relaxed and defiant. While he is only interested in good sex.
How to react. There is nothing to be particularly happy about, this is a gift for him and not for you. You can put on this underwear in honor of his birthday and give him what he has long dreamed of.
3. Light mother-of-pearl linen made of natural silk
Who is he. Thoughtful, patient, tactful. Possesses either good taste (if he chose it himself), or common sense (if the seller helped him). Silk is gentle and does not irritate your skin, and your attractiveness takes care of your health.
What does this mean for your relationship. He's got a present for both of you, both sexy and practical. Such a man is ready not only to take, but also to give.
How to react. A good sign that your relationship is serious and harmonious. And if you put on his gift on the first evening, your beloved will be at the height of happiness.
4. Exercise bike
Who is he. Demanding and domineering acquires only what you should have (in his opinion), and not what you dream of. Does not take into account the desires of others.
What does this mean for your relationship. He believes that you are not good enough for him, and offers a way for you to improve. Perhaps, on the next round of your relationship, you will receive a collection of Kant's works as a gift.
How to react. On the one hand, this behavior is offensive. On the other hand, you could have quit, find yourself slender and muscular, but something hooked him in you. Think: neither a good figure nor an exercise bike will interfere with anyone. If you want to keep your loved one with you, express wild joy, pedal, lose weight and shape beautiful hips. Thinking how to get rid of him, tell him that there is no room for a simulator in the apartment.
5. Fluffy toy
Who bought it. Teddy bears and tiger cubs are bought by sentimental and romantic men who value femininity and gentleness in their friend. They usually do a good job with traditional male duties: they know how to make money, fix, solve a problem; and willingly forgive their girlfriends cute female weaknesses, mood swings, indecision.
What does this mean for your relationship. His gift is a piece of himself: "I am the same fluffy, love me!" He invites you not to find out who is smarter and stronger, but to be friends and love. He is ready to be gentle with you and counts on tenderness and trust on your part.
How to react. Say: "You consider me a child!" alienate a good person forever. Indifferently put the presented animal in a corner and reject the tenderness offered to you. Press the toy to your heart, admire and gently lull it to a new level of intimacy.
6. Warm cashmere, angora sweater
Who bought it. Kind, caring, empathetic and sentimental, I would like to envelop you in my love. Be attentive to him for his vulnerable and sensitive soul.
What does this mean for your relationship. He seeks to show how much he values you. You are gradually turning for him from a momentary friend into a life companion.
How to react. Wear and rejoice. And not criticize either color or style.
7. Perfume
Who bought it. Perfume is presented by three types of men. The first ones acquire those scents that you once mentioned, or something similar at a discount on their personal sense of smell. This is not a surprise, but a solid gift from a solid and serious man, attentive to the needs of a woman and able to reckon with other people's interests. The second type ran to the store and grabbed what was closer to the door, or what the saleswoman had advised, or the largest and most colorful box. He knows that a gift is needed, but he has no desire to walk, think and choose. The third gives a classic perfume and says: "My mom always liked them!"
What does this mean for your relationship. The first type of donor intends to meet with you for a long time. The second category is frivolous. Here you need to look at the price: expensive perfume, at least not greedy, cheap no plans for the future should not be built. The third category of intentions is clearly marital, but it’s too painful for him to connect in consciousness with his mother, which can cause big problems in sex.
How to react. Try to unobtrusively find out what dictated the choice of a gift. For a loving kiss. Look at the bottle, acquired in a hurry, with a critical eye and tell your friend which perfume you prefer, give the person a chance to prove himself in the future. Say thank you to your mommy son, but do not try to spray him with perfume before the night of love.
A perfume presented to a representative of the stronger sex should emphasize character, style, and complement the image. When buying a cologne, a man needs confidence that the perfume will fit and the donee will be happy to use it. Therefore, when choosing such a gift, you need to be guided not by your taste, but by the preferences of the future owner.

Its smell spreads like the breath of the wind, because the initial notes, consisting of a mix of galbanum, bergamot, ivy and tomato leaf, excite and invigorate, push the owner to conquer new heights. The aroma unfolds very quickly - the starting composition begins to displace the explosive aroma of spices with a bitter note of geranium.

A small box of perfume can be packed in a plain wrap by attaching a small decorative bow like a bow tie. The wrapping paper with the image of the starry sky looks original. A gift in a monochromatic box can also be decorated with beads from the letters of the name strung on a thread. A sprig of dried flowers, for example, lavender, thyme, rosemary, looks good on wrapping paper. And if you want to reflect the mood of the fragrance, you can arrange the packaging in a certain style, for example, with marine paraphernalia in the form of an anchor or a smoking pipe, if tobacco notes are clearly expressed in the aroma.

The stronger sex treats perfume in different ways. Despite the fact that the best perfumers and alchemists were men, ladies are more progressive in their choice of fragrances. The same perfume is becoming fashionable and attractive for women of all ages, of any income, of different nationalities in many countries of the world. A man is more conservative in his choice.
So, residents of the Muslim East or immigrants from these countries prefer - Opium or Habit Rouge , which would seem too heavy to a European, and the descendants of the Vikings, "true Aryans" and "blond beasts", do not want in any way to soften their features and succumb to the trend of global warming. Astringent chypre aromas of freshness, cold and sea with a light note of foreboding of spring, more on the melted snow, and not on the first flowers - this is their choice. In principle, there are as many fragrances for men as there are for women. Men's fragrances are traditionally divided into: Citrus, which include Eau Fraiche (C. Dior), Ungaro (Ungaro), Drakkar (G. Laroch), Armani pour Homme (Armani).
Floral: Dune pour Home (C. Dior), Cool Water (Davidoff), XS (Rabann).
Fern ( wine glasses): Monsieur Rochas (Rochas), Polo Sport Extreme (R. Lauren), Gucci Nobile (Gucci), Egoiste Platinum (Chanel).
Chypre: Pour Monsieur (Chanel), Davidoff (Davidoff), Dali pour Home (S. Dali).
Woody: Bvlgari pour Home (Bvlgari), Egoiste (Chanel), Gucci pour Home (Gucci), One Men Chow (J. Bogart), Tommi (T Hilfiger).
Amber: Homme (Joop!), Le Male (J.R. Gaultier), Ambro de Jacomo (Jacomo).
Leather: Derby (Guerlain), Bel Ami (Hermes), Cuir de Russie (Chanel).
Choosing the right scent for a man for a gift is both easier and more difficult than a new perfume for women. In any case, a woman will react with interest to a fashionable novelty, to the complex design of the bottle, the quality of printing, the name of the company, and finally to the price of the gift. A man is directly affected byvenous smell. If you know exactly the tastes of the person to whom the gift is intended, then it is easy to find a similar one by components. Or, being in close friendship, find a suitable scent for character traits and inclinations.
Fresh citrus compositions with aromas of lemon, lime, grapefruit, tangerine or orange are suitable for athletic active men - Lanvin L Homme (Lanvin), Paco (Paco Rabanne ). Business pragmatists love musky scents with top notes of oakmoss and geranium - Casran (Chopard), Paradox (Jacomo).
For romantic men, look for spicy compositions with combinations of pepper, ginger, cinnamon, thyme for a gift - Opium pour homme (Yves Saint Laurent).
The real "macho" is better to stay on the classic compositions with notes of sandalwood, for example Kenzo pour homme (Kenzo).
And for active ringleaders, reminiscent of a "perpetual motion machine", present a bittersweet cologne with a pronounced note of skin - Derby (Guerlain).
The aroma of dry tobacco leaf with tart musk is ideal for a respectable boss - LEau d Issey pour homme (Issey Miyake).
Egoists and individualists can be presented with chypre compositions with citrus notes combined with musk - Aqua di Gio (Armani ). Energetic and cheerful people love fresh floral aromas, romantics and dreamers adore warm scents - XS (Rabann), Farenheit (C. Dior), Insense (Givenchy).
And carefree and cheerful natures always choose flower and fruit compositions - Sonia Rykiel Homme (Sonia Rykiel).
Oriental scents are conducive to deep feelings. But pragmatists and people who bet on professionalism love the bitter shades of chypre fragrances - Zino Davidoff (Davidoff), Dali pour Home (S. Dali).
However, men have ruleslo: if you don't know what to choose, buy a citrus perfume - you won't lose.
Perfumers and psychologists say: a young man from 17 to 25 years old, who has not yet had time to grow together with a business suit and start a family, will suit light, fresh and active aromas. For example, Tommy by Tommy Hilfiger - a kind of cocktail of grapefruit, cranberry, lavender, mint, bergamot, blooming cactus, yellow rose, blue spruce, with the addition of the aroma of freshly baked apple pie with cinnamon. Or - Light Him by Trussardi , which the Italian designer addressed to young people from 18 to 25 years old. The aroma combines Japanese yuzu, Mexican lime, green mandarin, bergamot, French basil, sage, freesia, cardamom, South American pepper and Jamaican juniper.
Young men a little over 20, for whom sports are not limited to physical education lessons at school or college, can choose Booster by Lacoste (mint, menthol, eucalyptus, Italian lemon, Guinean orange, grapefruit, Provencal lavender, hedione, vetiver, cedar, sandalwood, musk), as well as unisex scents ( Dalimix by Salvador Dali with frosty freshness of fruit) or a techno-style cologne - Odeur 53 (Comme de Garson).
The next perfume, at the age of 30, has to be chosen with great care. Young men who are actively and confidently pursuing their careers need dynamic yet elegant fragrances: Salvatore Ferragamo pour Homme (grapefruit, pink grapefruit, fig leaves, cyclamen, African geranium, cloves, cardamom, vetiver, cedar, musk, sandalwood), 212 men by Carolina Herrera (citrus leaves, green herb, spice leaves, ginger, green pepper, gardenia, sandalwood, incense, musk) or Bvlgari pour Homme by Bvlgari (darjeeling tea aroma , pepper, rose and guaiac trees, lily, lily of the valley, bergamot, black currant flower juice).
A man in his prime can use in the office Declaration by Cartier ... Despite the fact that the creators of the fragrance defined it as a perfume for a man in love, the scent, consisting of notes of Russian birch, Italian bergamot, bitter orange from the Ivory Coast, Virginia cedar and other outlandish trees and herbs, is quite suitable for a business setting.
And on vacation and on vacation, a mature man is intended Good Life by Davidoff, Week end for men by Burberris or recently appeared Casual Friday by Escada.
For those who are not in the know: Casual - a word adopted in Western business circles, meaning a free style of dress, acceptable even in the office, but only on Friday, on the eve of the weekend. The simple and calm scent of this perfume is suitable for successful managers, aspiring businessmen who know how to be distracted from work for at least two days. Light and active male fragrances are good at this age: Aqua di Gio by Armani, L Eau d Issey by Issey Miyaky or Dune pour Homme by Christian Dior.
But at 40-45, the man took a separate office - it's time to change the perfume again, better for chypre (for example, Elements Aqua or Boss by Hugo Boss ). If he has retained youthful mobility, then they will do Black Bvlgari by Bvlgari - in them, the aroma of lapsang tea from the island of Ceylon is replaced by the aroma of smoke, and then smoothly turns into tart notes of rubber and resin. Suddenly boldly will sound at this age Egoiste or Platinum Egoiste by Chanel.
But closer to 50, it is better to choose expensive classic fragrances that speak of stability, predictability and reliability ( Pour Monsieur by Chanel, Nobile by Gucci, Rocabar by Hermes, Jaguar by Gaguar, Spesial Edition by Jaguar, Zino by Davidoff).
A man from 30 to 60 years old in the evening can try on the aromas of seduction - spicy, warm, oriental, such as Xerius Rouge by Givenchy Ambro de Jacomo by Jacomo, HM by Hanae Mori, Jaipur pour Homme by Boucheron , or a new scent from Hugo Boss - Hugo Dark Blue ... The only thing is, do not give these scents to a friend under 30 or a work colleague with whom you do not have friendly relations.
Also note that the perfume you donated can change character. Therefore, when choosing a birthday present, heed the advice of astrologers.
ARIES prefers bright scents, with a complex warm-sour shade, typical for colognes, - they will emphasize his image of a business man: Clinique happy for Men, Cerruti Image, Egoiste Platinum (Chanel).
TAURUS hates synthetic scents, preferring natural, light, even sophisticated, floral scents to them. They characterize him as an elegant person who knows his strengths. Them give Escape for men (Calvin Klein), Bvlgari pour homme, Paco (P. Rabanne).
For Gemini, diversity is a way of life. They change smells "like gloves", hunting for trendy novelties. Often they choose cologne just because they like the bottle. They will appreciate and Bvlgari, and SKVe (SK), Nemo (Cacharel).
CANCER is a romantic man, therefore he prefers sensual smells, a little sweet: Armani, Fahennheit (Dior), HM (Hanae Mori), Sonia Rykiel Homme.
LEO loves stylish, "domineering" and pronounced scents. Prefers brands that are expensive and of high quality, with a stable reputation. Try it give Pleasures for Men (Est her Lauder), One Man Show (Bogart), Hugo (Hugo Boss).
VIRGO chooses classic scents, which are associated with some pleasant memories, or sophisticated compositions, like Allure Homme (Chanel), Dolce and Gabbana pour homme (Dolce & Gabbana).
LIBRA is more fond of aftershave lotion - for its lightness and unobtrusive smell. Rather, they like finely composed scents: Aqua di Gio (Armani), Calvin (CK), Chrome (Azzaro), Tommy (Aramis).
SCORPIO chooses scents that are heavy, mysterious, seductive, with pronounced spicy notes to constantly be in the spotlight. His like Diavolo (Antonio Banderas), Bvlgari Black (Bvlgari), Clinique Happy for Men.
Sagittarius prefers natural scents with a touch of exotic fruits and plants. Those that call on the road, giving birth to images of distant countries. Present him Body Kouros (Yves Saint Laurent), Casran (Chopard), Declaration (Cartier).
CAPRICORN is alien to experimentation on himself, therefore he chooses classic colognes, solid, with a persistent aroma: Casual Friday (Escada), Emporio (Armani), L Eau d Issey pour homme (Issey Miyake).
