Jo Malone
For a fresh, everyday fragrance
Jo Malone's crisp pear-and-freesia cologne in the full 3.4 oz bottle. Light and fresh rather than heavy; in our view one of the safer fragrance gifts when you don't know her signature scent.
Skip it if she already has a signature scent she never strays from

L'Occitane
For a thoughtful little extra
Three travel-size L'Occitane hand creams, vegan, small enough to keep one in a coat pocket, one at her desk and one in her bag. A modest gift that tends to get used every day through winter.
Skip it if she reacts to fragranced skincare

NEST New York
For a calm, scented bedroom
Rosewater, geranium, salted amber and white woods in a pink-tinted glass with frosted stripes. Burns 50 to 60 hours, vegan and made in the USA, and pretty enough to leave out on a dresser.
Skip it if she keeps a strictly fragrance-free home

Tory Burch
For evenings with a small bag
A slim, four-inch card case with gold-tone logo lettering and an interior slip pocket: room for a few cards and a folded bill when a full wallet is too much for a small evening bag.
Skip it if she carries cash, coins and receipts and needs a full wallet
