It’s incredible how quickly the year flies by — soon, the holiday season will be knocking at your door, and you’ll be gearing up for cozy gatherings, festive cheer, and a well-deserved break from the daily grind. Amidst the whirlwind of holiday preparation, you’re tasked with finding the perfect gift for your loved ones. Why not elevate your gifts this holiday season with a touch of olfactory elegance?


Fragrances have a unique way of capturing the essence of a moment, and our holiday gift guide is brimming with fresh’s most enchanting fragrance gift sets for both women and men, each designed to add a layer of luxury and inspiration to the holiday season.

Fragrance gift set ideas for the life of the party

We all know someone who brings the party to life the moment they arrive. For the charismatic individuals who light up every room, Cannabis Santal Eau de Parfum is the perfect companion for any festive gathering. This fragrance is designed for those who thrive on making memorable impressions, electrifying a room with their presence, and captivating their audience with an air of seduction and mystery.


The initial spark of bergamot, plum, and Italian orange mirrors that moment when all conversation pauses, heads turn, and the atmosphere shifts with your arrival. As the evening unfolds, the heart notes of patchouli and cannabis santal introduce layers of depth and intrigue. Finally, the indulgent base notes of dark chocolate, vetiver, and vanilla leave a lingering impression, ensuring your presence is remembered long after you’ve left. With its sophisticated blend of citrus and wood, this fragrance is for the ones who don’t just attend the party—they define it.


Christmas gift ideas for the luxury lover

During this time of year, there’s something magical about the stillness of early mornings. The crisp air, the gentle light, and the promise of a new day create a sense of calm and renewal. Rose Morning Eau de Parfum is the perfect gift for those who cherish these tranquil moments. It encapsulates the tranquillity of a peaceful dawn with a refreshing blend of rose, black currant, and violet leaf, while Bulgarian rose, peach blossom, and freesia create a romantic and floral bouquet reminiscent of a garden in full bloom. The scent gently settles into a comforting blend of musk, white tea, and amber, providing a warm and soothing finish that lingers gently on the skin. This perfume makes a sophisticated holiday gift for anyone who appreciates a timeless sensory experience.


Best Christmas gifts for fitness fanatics

For the unstoppable force in your life who tackles every challenge with boundless energy, Hesperides Grapefruit Eau de Parfum is a fitting Christmas gift idea. Workout warriors need a fragrance that can keep up with their dynamic lifestyle, and this scent does just that. It maintains its vibrancy throughout the day, offering a refreshing wave of citrus that matches their high-octane routines. With invigorating notes of grapefruit, Italian lemon, and mandarin, this perfume provides a burst of energy that matches their relentless spirit. Whether they’re hitting the gym, running a marathon, or navigating their daily routine, the clean, crisp notes of Hesperides Grapefruit keep them feeling revitalized. With a fragrance like this, the go-getters in your life can face the day smelling fantastic and feeling inspired.


Holiday gift sets for the workaholic

For those who thrive on challenge and excel in high-pressure environments, a touch of inspiration can keep their momentum strong. Lily Jasmine Eau de Parfum is the perfect companion for the driven individual who balances ambition with grace. This fragrance blends bright bergamot, calming lavender, and vibrant pink pepper to create a scent that reflects their energetic and optimistic spirit. In the words of fresh founder Liv Glazman: “The late spring breeze fills my room and transports me to a field of blooming lilies; dreamy lavender and transparent jasmine envelop me in an embrace of new beginnings. Anything is possible.”


Fragrance gifts for the self-care newbie

If they’re dipping their toes into the world of self-care for the first time, why not start with a gift that encourages curiosity?
