Perfume Gifts for Christmas 2026: Six Award-Winning Scents

A perfume you look forward to wearing every morning is a Christmas gift that lasts well beyond December. This year’s Global Green Beauty Awards winners offer plenty of choice, from British florals and warm, spiced scents to a sweet body mist for a teenager’s stocking.

We’ve brought together six winning fragrances, starting with British brand Floral Street, with options for women, men and younger fragrance fans. There’s also something for anyone who would rather make their own scent.

Perfume gifts for women

Floral Street Enchanted Masquerade Eau de Parfum

Gold, Best Vegan Fragrance for Women

£78 for 50ml; £29 for 10ml

Created in collaboration with Netflix’s Bridgerton, Floral Street’s Enchanted Masquerade makes a lovely present for someone who enjoys a floral perfume, particularly if they also happen to love the series.

Pear brings a juicy opening, followed by gardenia and Centifolia rose, with skin musks underneath. Green hazelnut and pink pepper add interest to the floral notes. It’s a romantic choice, as you might expect from the collaboration, but one that can be worn long after the Christmas parties.

The British brand makes its fragrances in the UK. The 10ml size is a thoughtful smaller gift if you’re introducing someone to the scent, while the 50ml bottle feels more of a Christmas treat.

THE HEART COMPANY CHRISTMAS LOVE

Bronze, Best Vegan Fragrance for Women

S

ome perfumes suit a particular season, and CHRISTMAS LOVE from THE HEART COMPANY makes its intentions clear from the name.

Mandarin, orange and ginger open the fragrance, followed by cinnamon, clove, jasmine and plum. Vanilla, tonka, cedarwood and musk give it a warm base. If the person you’re buying for gravitates towards spiced, comforting fragrances, this is one to consider.

The clear, heart-shaped 75ml bottle with its gold cap adds to the gift appeal and the judges adored its Hallmark movie vibe. . It’s a limited Christmas edition and registered with The Vegan Society.

ECO Modern Essentials Almora Natural Perfume

Silver, Best Vegan Fragrance for Women

AUD $115 for 50ml

For someone who enjoys jasmine, Almora Natural Perfume from Australian brand ECO Modern Essentials is worth a look.

Grapefruit and ylang ylang introduce the scent, with jasmine at its heart and benzoin bringing warmth underneath. The combination offers a different direction from the spiced Christmas fragrances in this guide, making it an option for someone who prefers floral scents throughout the year.

The simple bottle and black cap keep the presentation understated. It’s a good choice for a recipient whose dressing table already tells you they favour flowers over sweeter gourmand fragrances.

Fragrance gifts for men

Gold Emperor Eau de Parfume

Highly Commended, Best Vegan Fragrance for Men

100ml

Gold may already be familiar to the person you’re buying for through its haircare. The brand has now expanded into fragrances and skincare, and Emperor Eau de Parfume brings together citrus, marine and woody notes.

Bergamot and lemon give it a fresh opening. The heart is more unusual, pairing algae and seaweed notes with patchouli, before ebony wood and ambergris add depth to the base. That shift from bright citrus to a darker, woody finish gives you more to discover as the fragrance develops.

One judge described it as “a fragrance for well dressed and masculine man”. For Christmas, it’s a strong contender for someone who enjoys fresh fragrances with a woody base.

HIQILI Tobacco Vanilla Fragrance Oil

Gold, Best Vegan Fragrance for Men

US $9.99 for 30ml

HIQILI’s Tobacco Vanilla Fragrance Oil is a different kind of gift. This is a concentrated fragrance oil for making scented products, rather than a finished perfume to spray or apply straight onto skin.

The notes combine tobacco and spices with vanilla, cacao, tonka and tobacco flower, followed by dried fruit and wood. It’s a warm scent profile that would appeal to someone interested in fragrance blending or making their own candles and other scented creations.

At US $9.99, it could make a small addition to a larger craft gift. Include the manufacturer’s instructions, as the appropriate formulation and dilution depend on what the recipient wants to make.

A sweet stocking filler for teens

QUO Beauty Whipped Marshmallow and Vanilla

Highly Commended, Best Vegan Fragrance for Women

Sweet fragrance fans should have QUO Beauty’s Whipped Marshmallow and Vanilla on their Christmas list. This pink-bottled body mist is the pick for teens in our guide, with a marshmallow and vanilla scent that prompted a particularly enthusiastic response from one judge:

“This is the most delicious smelling and more-ish scent that is an absolute must for a teen’s stocking filler this Christmas.”

A body mist is an easy introduction to fragrance for a teenager who enjoys trying different scents. This one would sit happily alongside a few beauty favourites in a stocking or a small Christmas gift bag.
