Meet The Timeless Fragrances Every NYLON Editor Is Gifting This Year

It’s that time of year when you’re thinking about the perfect gift to express your appreciation for your loved ones. When it comes to a truly memorable present, we always return to fragrance. Sure, scent preferences can be very specific, but even if your recipient has been loyal to the same perfume for years, there’s such joy and delight in surprising them with something unexpected to enhance their routine. What’s topping every NYLON editor’s wish list? GUESS Bella Vita and GUESS Bella Vita Rosa — two sophisticated, floral-fruity fragrances that go the extra mile. Here’s why they’re the ideal gifts, no matter who you’re shopping for this year.

A Personalized Experience

Want to know what it takes to become an amazing gift giver? It’s about choosing a gift that’s thoughtful and personal to your recipient to show that you’ve put in the time, effort, and consideration into selecting something that reflects their personality. It’s why GUESS fragrances make such great gifts time and time again. You can seek out specific notes in a fragrance that remind you of your loved ones to make it deeply personal and sentimental. Perhaps the scent of citrus will help them bring back sweet childhood memories of lemonade stands in the summer, or the smell of magnolia will make them reminisce about fragrant magnolia trees from their backyard wedding.

To help you dissect their scent profiles, GUESS Bella Vita is an elegant perfume that starts off with a burst of black cherry and Italian lemon, then dries down to warm back notes of vanilla orchid, tonka bean, and praline. GUESS Bella Vita Rosa is a sparkling, more floral take on the original, accentuated by blackcurrant, magnolia, and moss. Either will make the wearer feel comforted and pampered — and they’ll love carrying a piece of your thoughtfulness with every spritz.

Versatility And Wearability

Even if particular fragrance notes don’t jump out at you, you can’t go wrong with the timelessness of GUESS Bella Vita and GUESS Bella Vita Rosa. Every NYLON editor who has received GUESS fragrances as a gift before, loved them. Remember: A scent adjusts differently with each person’s body chemistry, so what might smell sweet on your mom might smell sultry on your best friend. We love how this further emphasizes the personal aspect of gifting fragrances by offering your loved ones a unique way to express themselves and make their scents their own. While GUESS Bella Vita and GUESS Bella Vita Rosa are creamy and floral, they’re also grounded by woody undertones, which make them the perfect everyday perfumes for a variety of people. If your recipient prefers a lighter or more subtle scent — for those who enjoy exercise or want a quick refresher when on-the-go — you can opt for the body mist versions of each fragrance, GUESS Bella Vita Fragrance Mist and GUESS Bella Vita Rosa Fragrance Mist.

Glam Luxury

The beautiful bottle designs of GUESS Bella Vita, GUESS Bella Vita Rosa, and their corresponding mists dress up any vanity or bathroom shelf — adding the wow factor to your gift-giving moment. GUESS Bella Vita adds an opulent gold touch of luxury to their daily routine, while GUESS Bella Vita Rosa is that pretty pop of rose gold that’s romantic and feminine. Whenever your loved ones sees their perfume bottle, they’ll be reminded of your consideration and care for finding a way to enrich their la bella vita
