Our 5 Favourite Fragrance Gift Sets

Discover our must-haves, fit for any budget or taste.

The world of niche fragrance continues to grow, and with it, a dizzying array of options, making gifting a bit of a challenge. That’s why we always suggest buying a set for the fragrance lovers on your list. The curated selections beg for exploration and ongoing discovery, while the variety contained within lowers the risk of a flop; it’s very likely something inside will be a new favourite!

With that in mind, here are some picks for our favourite fragrance gift sets, for any budget or taste. To explore our full selection, check out our Gift Guide here.  


Maison Francis Kurkdjian – 3, 2, 1, Noël! Scented Candle Trio

Many know Maison Francis Kurkdjian for their chic, luxurious fragrances, including the megahit Baccarat Rouge 540. But if you’ve never experienced their candles, you’re missing some of their best work. 

This set, packaged with the brand’s impeccable eye for design, features three votive candles in gorgeous French matte ceramic vessels. First, two unique winter florals, exclusively created for holiday 2023, add colour and joy to any room. The third rounds off the collection: Mon Beau Sapin, a much-loved favourite which returns every year by popular demand, is the most refined Christmas tree candle we’ve ever smelled.

D.S. & Durga – Roadtrip Hits

A highly unique set brimming with this Brooklyn brand’s eclectic troubadour spirit, this box offers five of the most unique car fragrances imaginable. 

Yes, we did say car fragrances! These cheeky throwback air-fresheners feature hip black-and-white graphics and warm, poetic scents with whimsical names like Concrete After Lightning and Portable Fireplace. While this set is the perfect gift for any hard-to-buy-for motorist, they can also be used in any small enclosed space, or even tucked into a drawer to delicately scent clothing or linens.

Penhaligon’s – Tiddly Whiffs Set

If you’ve ever visited London during the holiday season, you know the Brits have a magic touch with festive decoration. This set of samples from iconic English perfumery Penhaligon’s brings all that beauty home in a stocking-stuffer-friendly little box. Even the name brings a smile to our face!

We love Penhaligon’s fragrances for gifting because they’re approachable and versatile while still feeling playful and unexpected. This set features the brand’s bestsellers across all three of their collections, running the gamut from fresh to bold and floral to woody. We think there’s a scent inside for every taste imaginable. 

Creed – Holiday Coffret for Him

The ultimate in luxury, this beautiful coffret contains travel sized spray vials of three bestselling Creed fragrances. Among the scents featured are the global phenomenon Aventus and the seminal classic Green Irish Tweed. 

Creed’s reputation for bold, effortlessly fashionable fragrances has made the brand’s logo and timeless packaging a status symbol since its inception. While the three fragrances in this set were conceived as snapshots of opulent masculinity, we also think the beautiful citrus-and-green-tea-supernova Silver Mountain water would make for a perfect signature for any gender. 

Ormonde Jayne – Signature Discovery Set

One of our most beloved brands, the clean lines of Ormonde Jayne’s aesthetic conceal a wildly innovative spirit. Over the years, they’ve released some of the most groundbreaking scents in our collection. 

Warm notes of amber and balsam, edgy facets of novel ingredients like hemlock, and rare flowers like champaca and frangipani find new life within these timeless, unisex fragrances. They all seem to dance within the brand’s signature transparent structure, the brainchild of revolutionary Escentric Molecules perfumer Geza Schoen. Glittering on the skin, they demonstrate classical balance and abstract electricity, making this set an exciting olfactory adventure for newbies and connoisseurs alike.

A.G.E. Advanced Eye is a next-generation eye cream for wrinkles that fights the appearance of crow’s feet, puffiness, and dark circles associated with glycation and collagen decline, a major factor of the natural aging process. This silky eye cream for crow’s feet is formulated for the delicate eye area with a potent combination of ProxylaneTM, a concentrated flavonoid blend, glycyrrhetinic acid, and Matrixyl 3000. This eye cream for dark circles also includes caffeine and an inclusive blend of optical diffusers to disperse light and immediately improve the radiance of tired, dull-looking eyes across all skin tones.

  • Delivers 24-hour moisture to comfort dry, aging skin
  • Paraben-, fragrance-, and dye-free

INGREDIENTS

A.G.E. Advanced Eye is now formulated with more potent levels of ingredients to reduce the impact of glycation and address eye-specific concerns.

  • PROXYLANE: Corrects signs of visible aging, like crow’s feet.
  • MATRIXYL 3000: Powerful biomimetic peptide to support skin’s natural firmness and elesticity for a youthful look.
  • INCLUSIVE OPTICAL EFFECT BLEND: Disperses light to minimize the appearance of dull tired eves across a skin tones.
  • CAFFEINE: Reduces visible puffiness and the look of dark circles for a more vibrant appearance.

  • 23% improvement in under-eye wrinkles
  • 24% improvement in puffiness

The results speak for themselves! Curious to give it a try? A.G.E. Advanced Eye is available at Etiket, in-store and online.

Get Your Hands Winter Ready With This Routine

The founder of Le Rouge à Ongles, Elise Khettat, unveils her tips to maintain smooth and moisturized hands just in time for winter.

With the change in seasons and cold-weather here to stay, we asked the founder of Le Rouge à Ongles, Elise Khettat, to unveil her tips to maintain smooth and moisturized hands right in time for winter.

CAN YOU SHARE YOUR HAND CARE ROUTINE?

Elise Khettat — Founder of Le Rouge à Ongles

First and foremost, I believe that taking care of your hands is just as important as taking care of your face. I abide by a routine that I follow once a week and daily for soft, hydrated and plumped hands.

Each week, I treat my hands to a real moment of relaxation. After washing them thoroughly with a gentle soap, I apply the Smoothing Body Scrub from Tata Harper to dry skin. I massage them delicately for several minutes, remembering to pass over each nail in order to exfoliate the contour of the nails and rinse it off with clean water.

What I love most about this scrub is that it exfoliates dead skin away while preparing my hands to receive a manicure, and that the exfoliating particles are biodegradable. It basically does it all! 

Next, to fully unwind, I apply a thick layer of the Supreme Moisture Mask from Nuori, without forgetting the contour of my nails and my cuticles. I leave it on until absorbed.

Then, I do an oil-based self-massage on my hands. I particularly like The Body Oil from Augustinus Bader which will stimulate the functions of the skin barrier and prevent transepidermal water loss which makes the skin more sensitive to dehydration. As with the previous steps, I also massage around the nails to nourish my cuticles.

On a daily basis, I apply a moisturizing hand cream 2 to 3 times a day – or as often as my skin needs it, especially in winter as our skin tends to dry out very quickly in the cold. I recommend The Hand Treatment from Augustinus Bader as it is ultra nourishing and soothing.

And I always carry a cuticle oil that I apply several times a day. The Nail + Cuticle Creme from Huna is a very practical format to have in your pocket or bag at all times! Moisturizing your cuticles helps soften them and gently push them back for a clean nail base.

Final tip: if would like to apply nail polish following your hand care routine, remember to degrease your nails with a gentle nail polish remover, as cream or oil residue on the nails prevents the varnish from applying and lasting long-term.

FINALLY, WHAT ARE YOUR FAVOURITE SHADES OF NAIL POLISH TO WELCOME FALL AND WINTER?

My favourite shades for this time of the year are ArsenalLuxembourg and Opéra.

The Scents of Autumn, Past and Future

Our favourite fragrance season is here!

Autumn is a world caught between two extremes. It balances the instinct to hunker down with the impulse to explore the outside world as it transforms before our eyes. We suggest doing both, and to wrap yourself in a scent that can adapt accordingly.

This year’s fall fragrance picks are also caught between the past and the future. Some recall the glamour and ecstasy of bygone eras, while others imagine a future where the comfort and adventure of fall are fragmented, as if into pixels, and imagined anew.

Read on to discover 10 fragrances for fall — five pulled from the past, and five built for the future. Or scroll down, grab the sample pack, and try them all for yourself. 

Autumn Past: Ravishing Signatures and Ancient Alchemies.

L’OR DE LOUIS
Arquiste

Bonfires warming the orangery at Versailles. 
TOLU
Ormonde Jayne

A supermodel-era glow of sepia florals and resins. 
NIGHT FLOWER
ERIS Parfums

A sumptuous update of showstopping musks like Shalimar. 
GOLESTAN
Tauer

Hallucinating spice and floral colour in a Persian palace garden. 

MISSISSIPPI MEDICINE
D.S. & Durga

An ecstatic fire ritual with American tree tar. 

Autumn Future: Dynamic Contrasts and Electrifying Depth.

MOLECULE 01 + GUAIAC WOOD
Escentric Molecules

A minimalist glow of whisky and wood.
FANTOSMIA

New Fragrance Arrivals Everyone’s Talking About

Nectar, nuts and vanilla, oh my…

In the past few weeks, three new fragrance arrivals have delighted our clients and flown off our shelves. Delicious and indulgent with an intoxicating twist, each is destined to be the talk of the fragrance world for months to come. So what are you waiting for? Join the conversation!

ESCAPADE GOURMANDE
Maison Mataha

Our newest brand, Paris’ Maison Mataha, has only released one fragrance, but they only needed one to take over the world. Escapade Gourmande is nostalgic, creamy vanilla diffused through pale pink clouds of addictive white musk, forming an intoxicating, truly endless trail. It’s no wonder this fragrance had a mile-long waitlist before it arrived! 

For lovers of indulgent gourmands, Escapade Gourmande sets itself apart.
DELTA OF VENUS
ERIS Parfums

The bewitching, boundless creativity of this New York brand continues with this fruity sensation. In a sinfully decadent re-telling of Adam and Eve, the “forbidden fruit” takes the form of a guava accord so visceral, textured and immersive it’s practically virtual reality. It seriously must be smelled to be believed.
 
For lovers of juicy, delicious scents, Delta of Venus is a historic achievement with a dash of grown-up sex appeal. 
FACES OF FRANCIS
Vilhelm Parfumerie

Riffing on the memories and desires of painter Francis Bacon, famous for his disturbing deconstructions of the human form, Vilhelm has managed to find a gentle magnetic warmth underneath all that brooding. Featuring smoky wood, resins and a lovely pistachio accord smooth like organic nut butter, the first great fall fragrance is already here. 
 
For lovers of mysterious woods, Faces of Francis is artistic, confident and effortlessly wearable.

COMING SOON

A sneak preview… sampling now!

DODO JACKFRUIT EDITION
Zoologist

Balancing an almost-unheard-of jackfruit accord (think pineapple-banana-mango smoothie) with sparkling spices like turmeric and pink pepper, Dodo Jackfruit drops this tropical cocktail into a powdery-creamy-woody jungle. It’s just the kind of olfactory hallucination Zoologist is famous for, and luckily, this trip is a happy one. Subtly sweet and blissfully breezy, Dodo Jackfruit is a one-of-a-kind scented landscape from Toronto’s favourite mad scent scientists. 
 
Limited edition bottles will be available on August 25th, but samples are available now!

Best Summer Skincare Routine According to Our Aestheticians

We asked some of our aestheticians to share some advice to keep skin looking and feeling healthy this summer. Discover what products and treatments they recommend!

New skincare challenges, such as using sufficient sun protection and maintaining well-hydrated skin, are brought on by the warmer weather. We asked some of our aestheticians to share some advice to keep skin looking and feeling its best this summer. Discover what products and treatments they recommend!


LAURA, Aesthetician at The Etiket Spa

What is your current AM skincare routine?

As a first step, I reach for the Tata Harper Superkind Softening Cleanser which works to gently dissolve buildup and impurities. I then apply the Environ Youth EssentiA Vita-Peptide C-Quence Serum 1. It helps combat the visible signs of ageing to create even, smoother and healthier-looking skin. To moisturize, I use the SkinCeuticals AOX+ Eye Gel both in the AM and PM on my eye contour and the Environ Focus Care Moisture+ Vita Complex Super Moisturiser+ all over my face. I finish with the Colorescience Sunforgettable Total Protection Face Shield Flex SPF 50, a lightweight tinted sunscreen that offers buildable coverage.

What is your current PM skincare routine?

Three times per week, I would use the Tata Harper Superkind Refining Cleanser, a gentle exfoliator that simultaneously nourishes and refines to reveal a nice glow. The Pai Skincare Middlemist Seven Camellia & Rose Gentle Cream Cleanser paired with a damp muslin cloth to remove makeup and sunscreen, followed by a double cleanse using Tata Harper’s Clarifying Cleanser. To finish, I apply the Tata Harper Retinoic Nutrient Face Oil to nourish and strengthen the skin.

How do you prevent pigmentation?

I would recommend any Vitamin C serum and retinoic oil, as well as the Tata Harper Brightening Facial with Multi-Acid Peel treatment (great for glow, pigmentation, acne and scarring). It’s a HOLY GRAIL! 🙂

What facial would you recommend in the summer months? 

The Tata Harper Etiket Signature Facial is suitable for all skin types and is amazing for blood circulation.

What would you change for your summer skincare routine? 

For summer, I like adding a purifying/resurfacing mask weekly. Here are a few options to try!


JORDANNA, Holistic Aesthetician at The Etiket Spa

What is your current AM skincare routine?

To start, I wash my face with the Tata Harper Regenerating Cleanser and spray on Pai Skincare’s Century Flower Lotus & Hyaluronic Acid Barrier Support Mist. I follow with two more Tata Harper products: the Rejuvenating Serum and the Refillable Restorative Eye Crème which brightens, smooths, de-puffs, and hydrates to rejuvenate signs of aging and fatigue. To moisturize and brigthen my skin, I apply the Kat Burki Vitamin C Intensive Face Cream and follow with Pai Skincare’s The Light Fantastic, a fast-absorbing dry oil containing ceramides to help build strong long-term resilience against irritation. As last steps, I opt for the Colorescience Sunforgettable GLOW Total Protection Face Shield SPF 50 and their Total Eye™ 3-in-1 Renewal Care, available in 4 colours, to keep my skin protected and my under eye looking rested.

What is your current PM skincare routine?

I first double cleanse with the Tata Harper Nourishing Oil Cleanser, followed by Pai Skincare’s Phaze PHA Clarifying Face Wash which helps clarify congested skin. Next, I apply the Tata Harper Concentrated Brightening Essence, Concentrated Brightening Serum, Superkind Fortifying Moisturizer and Boosted Contouring Eye Balm which leave my skin feeling nice and plump!

How do you prevent pigmentation?

I suggest using nighttime brightening products, sunscreen with SPF 50, and Tata Harper’s Superkind Radiance Mask and Resurfacing Mask.

What facial would you recommend in the summer months? 

Tata Harper’s Sculpting Facial: the anti-gravity skin lift! This lavish treatment pairs green bio-technology with a cupping facial massage technique to firm and lift the look of your skin, and a rejuvenating neck and décolleté treatment helps instantly revitalized the skin with a youthful glow.

What would you change for your summer skincare routine? 

Products with high SPF and a fabulous sun hat! 🙂


MARION, Aesthetician at The Etiket Spa

What is your current AM skincare routine?

In the morning, I wash my face with my Tata Harper Purifying Cleanser, apply my SkinCeuticals Phloretin CF vitamin C serum, followed by my Tata Harper Water-Lock Moisturizer and my Elta MD UV Clear SPF 46 sunscreen.

What is your current PM skincare routine?

In the evening, I do my double cleansing routine to remove makeup with two products from Tata Harper: I thoroughly wash my skin with my makeup remover oil, the Nourishing Oil Cleanser, followed by my Purifying Cleanser. I then apply my soothing SkinCeuticals Phyto Corrective Gel, my Dr. Barbara Sturm The Better B Niacinamide Serum, and finally my Tata Harper Water-Lock Moisturizer.

How do you prevent pigmentation?

To prevent the appearance of pigmentation spots, I use a vitamin C serum (SkinCeuticals Phloretin CF) in the morning, followed by sunscreen (Elta MD UV Clear SPF 46).

What facial would you recommend in the summer months? 

The treatment I recommend this time of year is a HydraFacial to deeply cleanse the skin, reveal radiance and plump up dehydrated skin.

What would you change for your summer skincare routine? 

I would recommend using fewer oils and prioritizing more water-based gel textures to continue moisturizing without making the skin greasy, and to exfoliate skin more.

Brand Story:

It is early in life that Isabelle began her love affair with perfumes and all things scented and nicely packaged.

Motherly Advice From Mother to Daughter

The founders of some of our favourite brands share what they've learned from their mothers, and what they're choosing to pass down to their children.

In honour of Mother’s Day, we’ve asked the founders of some of our favourite brands to share with us what they’ve learned from their mothers, and what they’re choosing to pass down to their children. From protecting their skin from the sun to embracing their inner beauty, we wanted to know a little more about the lessons they have learned that made them the women and mothers that they are today.

Tata Harper, Founder of Tata Harper

“My mother and grandmother would always have spa parties with their friends and they all took the time for beauty every day. It was a lot of DIY face masks and treatments using ingredients like avocado, honey, and lemon, and things growing around us locally or fresh from the store. We often made our own honey mask with natural, pure honey. It’s super inexpensive to make and I find it super hydrating and refreshing.

The advice I want to pass down to my daughter is that beautiful skin comes from what you are putting in and on your body, and it’s important to be mindful of this at a young age. Focus on a good regimen and keep your skin healthy and hydrated.”

April Gargiulo, Founder of Vintner’s Daughter

“My mom has always been very vocal around sun protection, so I developed a love for wide-brimmed hats early.

I want my daughters to understand that beauty is about a trusted and deep connection to ourselves, our community, our world and all its beautiful creatures.”

– April Gargiulo

DISCOVER VINTNER’S DAUGHTER

Jasmi Bonnén, Founder of Nuori

“I am so thankful to my mother for teaching me that skin concerns need to be professionally diagnosed and treated. I suffered from hormonal acne all through my teens and my mother made sure I saw dermatologists and skin therapists on a regular basis. This truly saved my skin from serious scarring. My mother and I also did facials together at home – a fun tradition I am continuing with my two boys!

Growing up in Finland, my mother also taught me how to enjoy the relaxing and detoxing benefits of a sauna from an early age. I remember my mother dipping freshly cut birch branches into a bail of hot water, and we would breathe in the essential oil vapours. A magical smell of summer and motherly love I will never forget.”

Clarissa de Queiroz, Founder of The Hair Routine

“One of the first things I got from her is the idea of accepting myself the way I am. My mom is not a big makeup fan, so this understanding of my unique beauty, and no need to fix anything in me definitely comes from her. But also, with this, came the idea of preserving our bodies, by drinking at least 2 litres of water per day and wearing sunscreen daily, even on the days I don’t leave the house! Thanks to her, I’ve been doing that since I was 10 years old – before it was a trend! Haha!

On the hair side, she gave me a nice trick to get natural highlights after going to the beach – in the Brazilian days – or in very sunny days, which is to spray chamomile tea on the hair before bathing in the sun. It really works!”

Sarah Brown, Founder of Pai Skincare

“Less is more. When your skin goes wrong, the tendency is to throw the entire kitchen sink at it, but she always told me never to do that. An to do the exact reverse – scale it back. Allow your skin to calm and rebalance and then take a methodical approach, re-introducing one product at a time, to establish what your skin likes and doesn’t like.

Never pick or squeeze your spots. This will be no surprise, but it’s one thing my mum shared with me when I was growing up as a teenager. This is really important to prevent scarring and stop the spread of more spots.”

– Sarah Brown

Heather Urquhart, Founder of Huna

“My grandmother Evelyn taught me the importance of skincare rituals at an early age. She taught me how to cleanse, how to moisturize, and how to never ever go to bed with makeup on the skin. I have followed those skincare rituals religiously since she taught me them as a little girl, and I have to say it’s all paid off.

My mother has always been low-key in terms of beauty and cosmetics. She takes good care of her skin, but she only very occasionally wears makeup. My mother taught me the importance of being confident and comfortable in my appearance without makeup. She also taught me how to love my body regardless of how it looks, what number it weighs on a scale, how it is behaving, or how it is dressed at a certain moment. She taught me to love my body for what it does for me each day – for what it can and does do. In fact, we never even owned a scale growing up, so I often didn’t know my body weight. It just wasn’t important, and that has shaped my self-love and body positivity to this day.”

Kat Burki, Founder of Kat Burki Skincare

“My mom taught me beauty secrets by just being herself. She was effortless and no-fuss but always pulled together. She has strong bone structure and beautiful skin so, really needed very little in makeup – maybe even just lip and go. She taught me about colour types. Although I am blonde, I am a Winter. Most blondes think pastels and Spring colours work, but as a Winter, dark blues, black, whites, etc. – avoiding yellows – work best. She was absolutely correct.”

Sasha Plavsic, Founder of ILIA

“The best beauty advice that I got from my mother is that you are only beautiful on the outside when you are beautiful or happy on the inside. She also told me that if you aren’t wearing SPF, wear a hat!

For my girls, I want them to know that makeup isn’t what will make them beautiful. Feeling beautiful from the inside out is what really matters and what truly shows.”

Lisa Mattam, Founder of Sahajan

“Strangely, almost all the beauty/mantra advice I received was from my dad. Just two weeks ago, he offered to mix up some turmeric for my mask instead with my mom, I think I learned more from observing. She taught me to be humble, quietly fierce and incredibly kind. She has an incredible sense of dignity and from her, I learned that true beauty comes from who you are.

The advice I would share with my daughter is to drink water, gets lots of sleep, wear SPF always… those are critical to nurture your outward beauty. True beauty comes from the soul- how kind you are to others and how kind you are to yourself.”

Lauren Bilon, Founder of Plume Science

“My mom is a wealth of knowledge when it comes to skincare, and I’m grateful for the advanced techniques she’s taught me. Red light therapy, microneedling, and chemical peels are just a few of the treatments she’s educated me on to keep my skin looking its best. Thanks to her guidance, I’ve also incorporated powerful ingredients like Vitamin C, Retin A, stem cells, growth factors, copper peptides, and more into my routine.

In addition to these advanced treatments, my mom also instilled some basic skincare practices that have stuck with me over the years. Never go to bed with makeup on and always double cleanse at night to ensure your skin is healthy and prepped for your skincare products.

One piece of advice that I’ve taken to heart is to wear SPF every day, even when indoors, and to reapply it multiple times throughout the day. I’ve found a powder SPF that doesn’t interfere with my makeup, making it easy to touch up throughout the day.

My mom has always emphasized the importance of taking care of oneself, and that includes exercise and eating healthy, balanced meals. Making an effort to get outside and breathe in fresh air each day is also key to a healthy mind and body. And at night, it’s important to take a break from screens and noise and unwind with a soothing bath or a good book.

Thanks to my mom’s guidance and these valuable beauty tips, I’ve learned to prioritize self-care and take care of myself so that I can take care of those around me.”

Mai Nozoe, Founder of BeautéJaponica

“My mother raised me with all of the beauty secrets from Japanese culture and was the inspiration behind the development of BeautéJaponica. The general concept of our scalp serum was also inspired by ingredients that she shared with me that helped Japanese women grow beautiful hair for centuries.

Beyond that, she has also taught me that beauty comes from within, and that nurturing your senses is true nutrition for your soul.”

Viola Menzel, Founder of Mahoni

“The best beauty secret from my mother was – without a doubt – discovering the powerful benefits of mānuka honey! At first, it helped my cold sores, and eventually, it became my go-to remedy for skin outbreaks, sore throats, and other issues. It’s the natural remedy I had been searching for, and I loved not having to decide between natural or effective.

This beauty secret eventually sparked my entrepreneurial journey. It inspired me to establish Mahoni, a tribute to nature’s potent remedy. Thank you, Mom!”
