Though holiday sets litter the shelves of Sephora, when it comes to cosmetics and gifts, what people really want is perfume. My own research has proved this to be true. And really, a bottle of perfume does make a perfect gift, without heedlessly straining your budget. The trick is to find one that suits your recipient's taste exactly, and he or she is sure to enjoy it for months to come. I know there are those with more sophisticated tastes, but in that case they can give specific directions. I've tried to stick to universal pleasers within the grasp of the layman.
Oddly enough, I hear very little about this gem, and yet everyone approves of it. Its composition is abstract—vodka, ginger, iris, white musk, dark chocolate—but somehow the juxtaposition of edible-inedible is really effective. Mostly it is a powdery, crystalline musk, sweetened by cocoa, with a touch of the iris peeking through. It is a haughtier, more mature perfume than Michael Kors Michael, more go-thither than come-hither, like the closed-off attitudes of a big city.
