Fragrance gift sets are incredible gifts! Generally a holiday fragrance gift is also much less expensive than if each product was purchased separately. These limited-edition gems also come in festive boxes that are perfect for gift-giving. The Narciso Eau de Parfum Poudree collection includes a large 3 fl. oz. spray, a travel-sized 0.33 fl. oz. spray, and a 2.5 fl. oz. scented body lotion. The scent was launched in the spring of 2016, and upon sampling it I immediately recommended it as a Mother’s Day gift. My recommendation still stands, as this classic, feminine scent will win hearts! Top notes include Bulgarian Rose and White Jasmine Petals.
