These 16 Fragrances From Sephora Will Be On Every It Girl’s List This Holiday Season

Not really sure what your sister's new signature scent should be? No sweat. To take out the guesswork, this sampler includes six scents from fan-favorite brands — Burberry, Carolina Herrera, and Valentino among them — as well as a redeemable certificate that your giftee can use to get a full-size bottle of their favorite. No gift receipt, no problem.

The name of this fragrance might make you think of a holiday candle, but the spice factor — courtesy of ginger and cinnamon — does the heavy lifting to give this warm, almost zingy feel. Still, it settles into a scent that's as cozy and comforting as the name would indicate. Extra points for the cutesy, striped bow, a gift in itself.

Leave it to the exuberant celebrity makeup artist Charlotte Tilbury to create this scent, which was formulated specifically to boost feelings of happiness. Like a dopamine hit for the senses, the sunny notes of neroli and ylang-ylang do just that — making it perfect for the ray of light in your life.

Come for the blend of vanilla, peony, and ylang-ylang — girly but all grown-up — and stay for the striking stiletto-shaped bottle. While it goes on strong, it dries down into a soft floral, making it ideal for your work BFF who sits near your desk.

It might be a little on the nose for the garden girlie in your life, but this floral scent feels fresh and sweet, thanks to a blend of jasmine, gardenia, and pear blossom. Also to thank is a touch of brown sugar, which gives it added warmth.

Feminine doesn't have to mean floral. But in this case, Burberry Her makes it feel unexpected and exciting with the juicy addition of black currant, blueberry, and raspberry, which provide an intense setting for the more delicate floral notes. As it dries down, it takes on a softness that’s perfect for anyone on your list.

You might not be able to make a freshly baked madeleine from a corner patisserie happen IRL, but the feel of one? Completely doable, with this blend of buttery cookie, sandalwood, and whipped Madagascar vanilla that calls to mind breezy days on a Paris sidewalk.

Florals aren't typically groundbreaking, but this proves the exception by pairing jasmine and blackcurrant with woods and vanilla to make it...almost edgy? It's sweet, but has a warmth that gives it depth and keeps it from smelling like a one-note bouquet.

For the friend who’s always game to look at the dessert menu (we know who we are) there's no better gift than this unabashed gourmand, which goes all in with notes of cotton candy and the namesake pistachio. It's as warm and sweet as you might imagine, with a toasted nuttiness that's perfect for winter.

This forward-thinking fragrance takes a playful approach to gourmand by pairing matcha with marshmallow. It's powdery and sweet, but entirely unique — and way more subtle than other vanilla-forward iterations.

Easygoing vanilla is a frequent note in giftable fragrances, but this scent stands out because it offers vanilla, yes — but with exactly zero of the usual innocence. Instead, it deploys a more intense vanilla absolute alongside tonka and sandalwood to lend the wearer a glamorous, sensual scent.

The friend you always go to for advice about work, relationships, and everything else deserves something special, and this blend of fresh neroli and warm amber — making for a balanced, comforting floral — proves as thoughtful and level-headed as she is. It gets even more sophisticated as you wear it throughout the day, making for a gift that keeps on giving.

Coffee? Sexy? This new take on an iconic scent with a touch of cherry is proof that it can be done, pairing the bold note with sensual vanilla for a finish that’s perfect for the serial dater or night owl in your group, even if they don’t necessarily have a caffeine habit.

Not everyone cares for a gourmand — and if your giftee prefers a subtler perfume, let us introduce you to this "skin scent," which has musk, iris, and salty-fresh notes to mimic, well, skin. It's sheer and soft, and entirely unique to the wearer. If that's not special, we don't know what is.

That warm, fuzzy feeling of satisfaction after a good night out? This fragrance captures that in a bottle, pairing vanilla with bourbon in a sweet, warm, yet surprisingly complex scent. It’s a crowd pleaser for anyone on your list, be it your best friend or your mom (or yourself).

Celebrity fragrances might be a dime a dozen, but this one stands out for its sheer elegance. It checks all the boxes, with citrusy bergamot settling into soft layers of vetiver, tonka, and cashmere woods. It's earthy and refreshing, and suits literally any occasion — Ari concert included.
