BOSS THE SCENT FOR HER 

EDP Spray 50ml. £126 per 100ml, 

Earn 63 points.

ARMANI CODE PROFUMO 

EDP Spray 110ml. £64.55 per 100ml, 


Two scents that embody the power of feminity 

and masculinity. This is why we love Boss The 

Scent For Her and Armani Code Profumo. 

Boss The Scent For Her is all about the power 

of attraction and seduction, and with its notes 

of honeyed peach, freesia and cocoa bean, 

it makes you want to discover more. Armani 

Code Profumo is your iconic scent, with base 

notes of tonka bean and leather and top 

notes of mandarian and cardomom, making 

this intense and vibrant. The dynamic duo of 

power scents. 


Don’t you just hate opening a Christmas present you don’t really want? We 

totally get you! Well, you can say goodbye to the fake thank yous this year 

because it’s time to get some present inspo from our favourite bloggers. 

Here are the perfumes they’d love to receive this year…

‘I’m asking for YSL Black Opium this Christmas. Not only is it a stunning 

gift to unwrap (I adore the black sparkling bottle) but the scent is the 

ultimate luxury. It has a deep musky smell, which I fell in love with the 

very first time I tried it, and to this day it remains a favourite.’ 

Robin James from Man For Himself

‘There’s nothing better than receiving a new fragrance for Christmas. I’m 

such a fan of spicy, oriental fragrances. I’d love to receive Yves Saint 

Laurent M7 Oud Absolu. It has gorgeous citrus top notes with an oud 

heart. Yes, please!’

‘Everything about Marc Jacobs Decadence embodies the party season, 

from its dazzling, emerald handbag bottle to its luxurious notes, such 

as Italian plum, saffron and liquid amber. This is one of those gifts that 

even among all the glamour and glitz of Christmas would totally steal the 

show. I’d love to receive it!’ 

Joel Mcloughlin from Gallucks 

Blog: www.gallucks.com

‘I’ll be asking for Yves Saint Laurent L’Homme. It’s a fresh and powerful 

scent that’s quite addictive, and when I’ve worn it in the past, I’ve 

always got a compliment. It’s a winner every time.’ 

Julie Ly from Raining Cake

‘This Christmas, I’d love to receive Valentino Donna because it’s sweet, 

feminine and perfect for the festive season.’ Selected Stores Only. 


Christmas is here! Our advice? Keep calm and buy perfume. We know 

it’s hard to find gifts for everyone, so we’re here to help. Opt for our fave 

Christmas scents to impress those special people in your life – and you’ll 

totally get all the credit…1FOR YOUR OTHER HALF 

Up the romance this Christmas! Whether you’re newly loved up 

or already planning the wedding, you’ll seriously want to impress 

your partner by giving them the best ever Christmas present. So 

what’s the secret? Choose a scent that’s seductive and sweet. 

We’re digging Boss The Scent For Her, which blends honeyed 

peach with cocoa (trust us, it’s irresistible), and Diesel Bad, a 

super-masculine mix of tobacco and caviar. That’s one thing ticked 

off the to-do list! 

2 

FOR YOUR PARENTS 

Show them how much they mean to you this Christmas (with 

something other than candles and cufflinks). Opt for a fresh, 

sophisticated scent for Mums: Paco Rabanne Lady Million Privé 

will have her instantly smiling at the coconut, raspberry and honey 

notes, knowing this is the one to wear on an evening out. Dads 

will totally appreciate the elegant Dolce & Gabbana The One For 

Men EDP, a charming blend of grapefruit and ginger. Go you! 

3 

FOR 

YOUR BESTIE 

We’re guessing you’ve done the charm bracelets, clothes 

vouchers and photo frames – so this Christmas, give your bestie 

a fragrance they’ll never forget. How about Yves Saint Laurent 

Mon Paris for her, inspired by Paris and oozing pear and white 

musk? We promise you’ll fall head over heels for it. For him, opt 

for Jimmy Choo Man Intense, a strong blend of pepper and tonka 

bean, to say thanks for all the good times. 

They’ll be thanking you… forever.

4 

FOR 

THE TEENS 

We all have those family members who are a bit awkward 

to buy for – like the teens, who are only really interested in 

their WhatsApp groups. Well, a young perfume like Little Mix 

Wishmaker for her (smells like toffee, apricot and vanilla) and 

Hollister Wave For Him (lavender, grapefruit and bamboo 

leaves) will make their year, we swear! 

5 

FOR YOU 

Who says you can’t treat yourself this Christmas! You heard 

us. Rip up the rulebook and buy for yourself! After all, no 

one knows you better. If you’re a floral fan, opt for Coach 

The Fragrance for her, with its notes of jasmine and waterlily, 

or Boss Bottled Unlimited for him, a delish duo of mint and 

grapefruit. Alternatively, live on the wild side with Marc Jacobs 

Divine Decadence for her, with notes of champagne, and 

Abercrombie & Fitch First Instinct for him, with gin and tonic – 

we kid you not! Party time, anyone? 

CALLING ALL GENTS 

Guys, listen up! Don’t want to get the wrong 

gift and disappoint her this Christmas? Take 

a photo on your phone of her favourite 

perfume bottle, come into store and the 

experts at The Perfume Shop will be able to 

help you buy a new one or choose one she’ll 

also love.

Ordered the turkey? Tick! Done your online shopping? Tick! Bought a scent 

that will get you a kiss with THAT HOTTIE under the mistletoe? Thought not. 

Call off the search – these seductive perfumes are all you need for a festive 

smooch. Prepare to pucker up people… 

This is the Holy Grail for seduction-seekers. Yep, Hugo Boss 

The Scent For Her is basically the sexiest scent out there, 

thanks to the sweet notes of honeyed peach, freesia and 

cocoa. One sniff will have him wanting more, we promise. 

So forget about dragging your beau under the mistletoe this 

year – he’ll be there ready and waiting. Hello new you… 

Literally dreaming of your perfect kiss this Christmas? Look 

no further than Yves Saint Laurent Black Opium, which 

instantly seduces with smells of orange blossom and vanilla. 

And at its heart, you’ll get hints of black coffee – an energy 

booster AND aphrodisiac (win, win!). There should be 

nothing stopping you – it is Cupid in a bottle after all. 

And then there’s Lancôme La Vie Est Belle Florale. 

Newsflash: florals are in the spotlight, with rose scents 

flooding perfume shelves EVERYWHERE – and practically 

taking over the world! Now you can take the trend to the 

next level – the level of love. We guarantee he’ll be a big 

fan of this romantic blend of rose, blackcurrant and musk. 

So whether it’s a chirpse, peck or cheeky snog, you’ll be 

smelling irresistible. 

36 


Hold tight. This Christmas, you’ll actually be getting what 

you want. And we’re not talking about the delicious notes 

of vanilla, caramel and chocolate in Mugler A*MEN, which 

will have you salivating. Nope. Just think of all the attention 

after just one spritz! Who could resist the sweet smell of 

dessert? So get ready to steal the show with this weapon of 

seduction. 

2008. The year women fell in love with Paco Rabanne 1 

Million. And now, let us introduce you to his hot, younger 

brother – the new Paco Rabanne 1 Million Privé. We like 

to call it the serial seducer because that’s its main purpose 

– oh, and it smells like cinnamon, tobacco and mandarin. 

Don’t just save it for Christmas parties, wear it to work too! 

The destination for love is everywhere… 

Diesel Bad is your Christmas wish… sorted. It smells of 

tobacco and caviar, a perfect combination for grabbing you 

your dream girl in a second. It’s our guilty pleasure – in fact, 

it’s so good, we don’t even feel that guilty about it! Plus, it’s 

new on the scents scene and is the talk of the town. We’re 

obsessed for life.

THE 

SCENTS 

GLOSSARY 

51 WHERE TO WEAR 

Your pulse points are naturally warmer 

than other areas of your body and heat 

intensifies the scent, so apply perfume 

to wrists, neck and the inside of elbows. 

Feeling daring? Try spritzing scent behind 

your knees, above your hip bones 

and on the small of your back. 

2 SETTLE IN 

Rubbing your wrists together after spraying 

your signature perfume will bruise the scent. 

Instead, spray and let it settle – the smell 

will last longer. 

3 SEASONAL SCENTS 

Just like you have clothes for different 

seasons, some scents suit the warmer 

weather, while others smell like a cosy, 

winter’s night in. Choose citrus, fruity, 

aquatic and floral scents for summer 

and spring; and oriental, spicy and 

woody for winter and autumn. 

4 LAYER BY LAYER 

RULES OF 

SCENT 

Using the body wash and lotion versions 

of your fave scent before spritzing 

your perfume on your pulse points will 

help make it last longer on your skin. 

5 MAKES SCENTS 

Store your perfume bottles in a cool, dark 

place and keep them out of direct sunlight 

to make sure they retain their lush scent. 

NOTES 

The top, middle and base notes are different 

parts of the scent journey. Top is the first scent 

your nose experiences followed by the smell of 

the middle and base notes as the perfume dries 

on your skin. 

TOP NOTES 

The first impression of the scent when it’s applied 

to the skin. Usually the most volatile 

of ingredients. 

MIDDLE (HEART) NOTES 

The core of a perfume that gives the scent its 

character, the middle notes tend to dictate the 

family group. 

BASE NOTES 

These are the final notes that mingle with the 

heart notes to create the body of scent. They 

linger the longest after the other notes have 

evaporated. 

STRENGTH 

The concentration of a scent is determined by its 

ratio of base. The higher the concentration, the 

longer lasting and more intense it will be. 

PERFUME 

It’s highly concentrated and contains the highest 

percentage of base, so just a dab or two will do. 

EAU DE PARFUM
