Best designer fragrance gift sets

Top pick: Valentino Born in Roma Donna Gift Set — a full-size eau de parfum with a warm floral trail (jasmine, cashmeran, bourbon vanilla) that reads grown-up and gift-worthy, and it's the one most people will actually wear.

Who the others suit:

• Giorgio Armani Sì Passione — a three-piece set with a refillable bottle plus a travel size and body lotion; best for someone who likes a polished, fruity-floral signature.
• Lancôme The Best of Lancôme minis — four mini eau de parfums, ideal for a first-time gift or a sampler who likes variety.
• Gucci Mini Set — three Gucci EDPs in miniature, a safe pick when you don't know their taste.
• Versace Dylan Blue — a men's set, for him rather than her.

If you'd rather spend less, the Lancôme miniatures set is the budget-friendly route.
