16 Beauty Gift Sets That Are Actually Worth the Money
Sephora’s viral perfume sampler set is back for holiday gifting, and it’s one of the savviest presents you can give for the fragrance lover in your life (or keep for yourself).
You get 20 sample-size fragrances to test out, ranging from sweet vanillas and florals to warm musks and niche tea notes, for a true variety of expressions to play with. When you find your favorite, exchange the redeemable voucher for a full size of one of the fragrances featured in the set.
The 20 sample sizes add up to about an ounce of fragrance. Plus, each vial is the perfect size to toss in your purse for a scent top-up wherever, whenever.
Cost breakdown: With the redeemable voucher, you can save up to $30 on a standard size perfume (1 oz to 1.7 oz). However, a few of the fragrances in the sampler set retail for less than $98, and using the voucher on one of those can end up being a loss.
We recommend using the voucher on one of these scents:
- Juliette Has a Gun Miami Shake Eau de Parfum ( $115)
- Kayali Vanilla 28 Eau de Parfum ($100)
- Prada Beauty Paradoxe Eau de Parfum ($110)
- Rabanne Million Gold For Her Eau de Parfum ($98)
- Burberry Her Eau de Parfum Intense ($118)
- Carolina Herrera Good Girl Blush Eau de Parfum Intense ($102)
- Gucci Flora Gorgeous Gardenia Eau de Parfum ($111)
- Tom Ford Café Rose Eau de Parfum ($125)
- Valentino Donna Born in Roma Eau de Parfum ($110)
- Versace Bright Crystal Absolu Eau de Parfum ($128)
- Viktor & Rolf Flowerbomb L’eau de Parfum ($105)
- Yves Saint Laurent Black Opium Eau de Parfum ($99)
If you’re shopping for the men in your life, consider getting the cologne version that’s also $98.
