Fragrance Gift Guide

Excerpts from fragrance editorials "Grand Bazaar: Gift Guide" and "Shop Bazaar" in Harper's Bazaar Magazine December 2019 / January 2020.

Fashion magazine Harper's Bazaar gives us some tips on holiday shopping and the ultimate gift giving guide featuring some wish-list worthy perfumes and fragrances.

Gift Guide

When you embark on your holiday shopping this year, keep in mind that there's an art to finding the perfect present. "It should be timeless, thoughtful, and individualized," says Lauren Santo Domingo, a cofounder of Moda Operandi. "I spend the whole year looking for gifts that are carefully and painstakinly chosen, both when I'm traveling abroad and at home in New York." Because we can't all be as diligent as Santo Domingo, our editors curated the season's most festive fashions, covetable beauty, and inspiring decor with a global point of view. No matter who's on your list, you'll discover plenty of items that feel personalized and unique - no frequent-flier miles required.
