The gift of scent is clearly a popular choice during the holiday season – over the course of the entire year, 40% of individual fragrance sales take place during the holidays, while 80% of fragrance gift set sales occur during this time period*. Scent is certainly a powerful sense – it's the first of the five senses to develop, and the only one that is fully mature at birth. The average human is able to recognize approximately 10,000 different odors, and scents have been shown to have a significant effect on your moods; for example, smelling a fragrance that you perceive as pleasant profoundly improves how you feel.

While no two people smell things the same way, these chic scent gift sets for him and for her make it simple to choose the perfect scent that honors what makes the loved ones in your life unique:
