The holiday season is one of my favorite times of year — for obvious reasons. Each year though I find myself continuously stumped about what gifts to get for some of my friends and family. From now til that magical morning, Effortless Anthropologie will be featuring gift ideas to help inspire. And because this is the season of giving you’ll have a chance to win a few gifts for yourself too.
Know someone chic and confident? ChloĆ©’s gift set is the perfect option for them. The peony and freesia top scents will tickle your nose gently before the story continues with light florals. This is the kind of scent that doesn’t shout but lingers pleasantly for a moment or two after you’ve walked away. It’s not intrusive or aggressive like muskier scents so it’s a good office scent. The gift pack also includes body lotion and, in some sets, shower gel. Prices range from $95 to $125. The perfume is available in a roll-on to-go version for $25.
ChloĆ© gift set: Buy it from Bloomingdale’s, Nordstrom or Saks Fifth Ave.
At the in-store meet and greet I could not stop sniffing the solid form of the perfume. I love the idea of just throwing it in your purse and dabbing a bit on when needed. Besides the solid medallion ($28), the perfume is available by the bottle ($62) or in candle form ($32). The most popular scent is the Chant de Bois (femme woodsy), but my personal favorites were the Bouquet Blanc (decadent florals) and the Poudre D’Orient (exotic aromas).
Buy the Le Labo scent for someone on your list exclusively from Anthropologie.
Which brings us to our first contest! I’m so enamored with the medallion version of this perfume. The design is inspired by 19th century coins and the scent within easily dabs on. One lucky community member will win the concrete parfum scent of their choice!
