Best Perfumes for Gifting: How to Choose the Perfect Scent for Someone Else

Gift-giving is an art, and when it comes to selecting the perfect gift for someone special, nothing speaks volumes like a thoughtful, personalized perfume. A beautiful fragrance can touch hearts, capture moments, and even take someone to a cherished place or time. However, with so many options available, choosing the right perfume for someone else can feel daunting. Whether you're shopping for him, her, or both, this guide will help you find the perfect scent—From bold men's fragrances to elegant ladies’ perfumes and thoughtful couple gift sets, discover how to choose the perfect scent with House of RIYA.

1. Consider the Person’s Personality

Before diving into fragrance families or fancy bottles, spend a second thinking about the person behind the gift. Are they adventurous and bold, or calm and romantic? Someone with an outgoing, confident personality might enjoy a fragrance with strong, heavy notes, like spicy or woody aromas. On the other hand, a person who’s more laid-back might prefer light, floral, or citrus-based perfumes that evoke a sense of freshness and serenity. A scent that matches their personality will feel far more meaningful than a random pick from the shelf.

For the energetic, confident man who loves making a statement, the RIYA Thrill Eau de Parfum is the perfect pairing. It opens with a striking hit of pink pepper, followed by a warm, earthy heart of teakwood. Bold yet balanced, this scent makes a great choice for someone who lives for charisma and self-assurance, perfect for birthdays, anniversaries, or just because.

If your gift recipient leans more toward sophistication with a modern edge, the RIYA Sigma Eau de Parfum is a match made in fragrance heaven. Formulated for performance and presence, it combines woody and aromatic accords that last long and feel luxurious. This is a scent that draws attention subtly, ideal for someone who likes to leave a lasting impression without speaking.

Matching fragrance to personality makes your gift thoughtful, intentional, and unforgettable.

2. Know the Fragrance Family

Perfumes are generally categorized into fragrance families, such as floral, fruity, oriental, and woody. Knowing which family your recipient gravitates towards can help narrow down your options.

Floral perfumes are best suited for women who love sweet, romantic scents. For someone with a romantic soul and a love for all things poetic, Riya Bawri Perfume is a gift that speaks their language. This enchanting fragrance transports you to a lush garden, surrounding you with blooming floral beauty in every spritz. It opens with fresh and sparkling notes of rose, fruity, and woody accords, gently transitions into a heart of fresh, spicy, and powdery notes, and finally settles into a warm embrace of sandalwood, leaving a sensual and lasting impression.

Woody fragrances are generally strong and earthy, making them a great fit for those who prefer deeper, more sophisticated scents. RIYA Black Rock Eau De Parfum features notes of lavender, bergamot, and apple that open to reveal sandalwood and vetiver, followed by warm, earthy notes of coumarin, mousse, and dry amber. It's the perfect gift for someone with a bold, confident presence.

3. Pick a Gift Set for Added Luxury

When gifting a perfume, choosing a perfume gift set can elevate the experience. A gift set often includes a set of 4 heart-warming perfumes, creating a rich, complete experience.

For instance, House of RIYA provides exquisite ladies perfume gift sets and mens perfume gift sets where every perfume tells a story. When shopping for a couple, look at the Gift a Memory unisex perfume gift set by House of RIYA. This type of set usually comes with matching him and her perfumes, and is thus the perfect gift to buy on special occasions or anniversaries.

4. Consider Seasonal Preferences

Some fragrances are perfect for specific seasons. Light, fresh scents are perfect for spring and summer, while warm, spicy fragrances are ideal for the cooler months.

5. Packaging Matters

The packaging of a perfume can make a big difference in the gift-giving experience. A beautifully crafted bottle can be a work of art, and a sleek, elegant box makes the presentation even more special.

House of RIYA creates packaging that’s as stunning as its fragrances. The elegant, luxurious design of their perfume bottles adds a touch of sophistication to any gift. Whether you choose a ladies perfume kit or a unisex fragrance, the packaging will surely leave a lasting impression.

6. Personalize the Gift

To make the perfume gift even more special, consider adding a personal touch. Some perfume brands, including House of RIYA, allow you to include a personalized message with the gift. A heartfelt note or custom engraving on the perfume bottle can make the gift truly memorable.
