Holiday gift ideas
Written on 9 December 2025
Giving the gift of a perfume, a cosmetic, or a home fragrance by Galimard is much more than just a present: it is the gift of a moment, an emotion, a way of sharing the art of living of the Côte d’Azur. From our perfume house founded in Grasse in 1747, Parfumerie Galimard presents fragrant gift ideas such as fragrances, ambiance scents, and cosmetics, inspired by the emblematic flowers of the region and the Mediterranean.
This article brings together several ideas for choosing a perfume gift set, a scented gift for her, for him, for the home, or in the form of a sensory, olfactory experience.
Our Instants Riviera collection is a range of home fragrances designed as an olfactory journey from Menton to Saint-Tropez. It captures the scented landscapes of the Côte d’Azur: the zest of lemon, the cool shade of a fig tree, the sensual warmth of sun-drenched flowers. The six fragrances are available as scented candles, room sprays, and fragrance diffusers (100 ml or 250 ml) with refill options, allowing you to create a bespoke scented atmosphere for your home.
- Notes : peony, lavander, camomille.
- Atmosphere : a soft breeze, an afternoon siesta, fresh linens wafting against blue sky

The HÉRITAGE collection pays tribute to three iconic flowers of Grasse: jasmine, rose, and tuberose. The set brings together three 50 ml fragrances — J, R, and T — offering a contemporary, gender-neutral, and botanical interpretation of these floral icons.
This perfume gift set is an ideal present for lovers of niche fragrances who appreciate the history of perfumery and the authenticity of exceptional raw materials from Grasse.
J – Jasmin de Grasse opens with fig leaf, immortelle, and mandarin, before revealing a heart of Grasse jasmine reminiscent of early mornings in the fields. The dry-down blends oat, cedarwood, olive wood, and white musk, creating a luminous, green, and textured trail inspired by a summer morning among the flowers.
R – Rose Centifolia begins with the refreshing notes of peppermint, star anise, and petitgrain, before a Centifolia rose blooms at the heart. The base combines Guaiac wood, matcha, and Haitian vetiver, resulting in a modern, fresh, and woody Grasse rose—far removed from overly sweet, traditional clichés.
T – Tubéreuse de Grasse opens with a vibrant accord of cardamom, clove, and blood orange, illuminating an intensely floral heart of Grasse tuberose. The base of ginger, amber, and sandalwood shapes a solar, textured, and subtly spicy tuberose with real character.
Our 6 × 15 ml perfume set lets you create a personalized selection from a range of women’s and men’s fragrances by Maison Galimard (for example: Ruby Chéri, Printemps Étoilé, 1747, Mezzanotte, Quai des Brumes, etc., subject to availability).
- Convenient 6 × 15 ml format, perfect for slipping into a handbag or carry-on luggage.
- Discover multiple facets of our Grasse perfume collection without having to choose a single signature scent.
An ideal gift for the curious fragrance lover who enjoys alternating different scents, or for someone who travels frequently and appreciates travel-friendly, portable formats.
The Collection Privée, created to celebrate the 275th anniversary of Maison de Parfums Galimard, brings together seven unisex, highly concentrated fragrances, each built around exceptional raw materials: Gaïac Précieux, Musc Royal, Oud Intense, Oud Jasmin, Oud Rose, Oud Vanille, and Sensuel Safran.
The Collection Privée also offers a Discovery set featuring all seven scents in travel-friendly bottles, designed to be taken anywhere.
An ultra-premium gift for a niche perfume lover, drawn to precious woods, sophisticated musks, rich Oud accords, and exotic spices like saffron.
Blanc d’Azur is a recent unisex creation, inspired by sunlight and white sheets drying in the shade of a bitter orange tree, with the Mediterranean as a backdrop.
- Family: clean, musky, floral
- Notes: bergamot, green tea (top); neroli, cotton flower, linen (heart); cedar, rice powder, sandalwood, white musk (base)
An excellent perfume gift for someone who enjoys “clean,” luminous scents—perfect for everyday wear, whether at the office or on weekends.
Ruby Chéri is a bold feminine fragrance centered on Morello cherry, cherry blossom, vanilla, musk, and sandalwood. It offers a cherry-inspired atmosphere that’s textured rather than overly sweet, balancing warmth, sensuality, and subtle floral touches.
A perfect gift for a woman who loves contemporary, fruity yet refined perfumes—distinct from classic staples, yet easy to wear every day.
Reintroduced by Maison Galimard, Si tu savais… blends lemon, mandarin, green apple, hyacinth, rose, jasmine, amber, cedarwood, and musk to create a bright, balanced composition. The result is a fresh, cheerful fragrance—neither too floral, sweet, nor oriental—ideal for anyone seeking a subtle alternative to the major fragrance families.
A perfect gift for a woman torn between floral and fresh, who wants a luminous perfume that’s easy to wear in any season.
1747 blends bergamot, lemon, and lavender at the top with a heart of cedarwood, sandalwood, and white flowers, while a base of moss, musk, and marine accents creates a fresh, aromatic, and woody profile—an enduring signature of the Maison.
Quai des brumes opens with lavender and green apple, transitions to a heart of vetiver, sandalwood, and star anise, and settles into a base of musk, oakmoss, and vanilla. The result is an elegant, slightly mysterious fragrance with a pronounced aromatic and woody character.
N°1 combines lemon, grapefruit, rosemary, aquatic notes, lily of the valley, sage, patchouli, and musk to create a very fresh aquatic citrus composition, designed for an active man who loves wide-open spaces.
Mezzanotte is a contemporary masculine fragrance built around bergamot and precious woods, offering a subtle sensuality that evokes urban evenings.
For whom?
- 1747: for a man who values classic elegance with a fresh, understated touch.
- Quai des brumes: for those drawn to cinematic atmospheres and deeper, more intense sillage.
- N°1: for dynamic personalities who enjoy very fresh, aquatic scents.
- Mezzanotte: for urban profiles who appreciate modern woods and evening fragrances.
Our scented facial care for men is a gel-cream formulated with organic aloe vera and hyaluronic acid. Its fresh, non-greasy texture tones, soothes, and subtly perfumes the skin. It is available in several masculine fragrances, including 1747, Mezzanotte, and Quai des brumes.
Complementing this, the 1747 body care range—including shower & hand gel, shampoo, conditioner, and nourishing body & hand cream—carries the same fresh, woody, unisex scent of 1747.
An excellent scented gift idea for a man who appreciates simple yet high-quality routines, and who wants to extend his favorite fragrance into his shower gel, shampoo, and body care products.
5. Candles from Collection Privée and shower gels
The candles from the Collection Privée, including Gaïac Précieux and Oud Vanille, bring the sophistication of the fragrances designed for skin into the home. Gaïac Précieux offers a refined, subtly exotic trail, transforming any interior into a warm, woody cocoon, while Oud Vanille releases a captivating, warm scent where vanilla blends with a floral, powdery bouquet over a gourmand, woody base, enveloping the room in elegant warmth.
A beautiful premium gift idea for lovers of home fragrances crafted like true skin perfumes, with impressive lasting power.
Our 250 ml shower gels are available in several scents: Fleur d’Oranger, Fleur de Cerisier, Fleur de Tiaré, Ginger, Lavender, Rose, and Verveine Mandarine. The formulas are enriched with coconut and olive oils and delicately fragranced.
A simple yet refined gift, perfect to offer on its own or paired with a matching fragrance—for example, Fleur d’Oranger with Les Jours Dorés as a home scent or Solenzara as a feminine perfume.
The cosmetic line Lumière is composed of:
- Lumière lotion tonic: formulated with sea buckthorn extract, it hydrates and tones, perfect for finishing your makeup removal routine.
- Lumière precious elixir: a concentrated oil serum with organic sea buckthorn oil and neroli essential oil, designed to leave skin radiant and revitalized.
- Face cream Lumière: a fragrance-free, 100% naturally derived cream, rich in moisturizing and anti-aging ingredients, meant to be paired with the Élixir.
An ideal gift for someone who values natural ingredients and the sensory pleasure of textures, seeking a complete, harmonious skincare routine.
Among Les Essentiels, several ideas for scented or nearly neutral cosmetic gifts:
- Body scrub with shea butter: a body exfoliant with walnut and organic argan shells, enriched with organic shea butter, leaving skin soft and ready for the sun.
- Hand cream with shea butter: a nourishing hand cream scented with Verveine Mandarine, made with 98.6% naturally derived ingredients.
- Eye & lip contour serum: a targeted serum with hyaluronic acids, organic Centifolia rose hydrosol, and vitamin C, designed for the most delicate areas of the face.
- Day cream with Royal Jelly: a classic from the Maison, fragrance-free and suitable for all skin types, including sensitive skin.
An excellent foundation of scented body care (hand cream, scrub) and fragrance-free facial treatments, perfect for someone who appreciates cohesive routines and beautiful bathroom products.
7. Perfume creation expériences and gift cards
The Student of Perfumery Gift Set combines a mini perfume organ with an online creation workshop. Here’s how it works: receive the set, then book a remote session with our experts who will guide you step by step to compose your very own fragrance.
An ideal gift for someone passionate about perfumery, dreaming of understanding accords and imagining a bespoke scent—all from the comfort of home.
Gift Cards & Workshop Vouchers
When inspiration is lacking or it’s hard to choose between several perfume gift ideas, our gift cards provide an elegant, simple, and always fitting solution. The e-boutique gift card, valid for one year, can be used in one or multiple purchases across all our online creations and allows you to include a personalized message to accompany your gesture.
For a more immersive experience, our workshop gift vouchers open the door to a hands-on adventure: perfume creation workshops in Grasse or Paris, or Haute-Parfumerie workshops. Valid for one year and sent by email, they are ready to be gifted instantly.
These are ideal gifts when the choice of a perfume or set is uncertain: the recipient selects their fragrance, perfume set, or creative experience, all within the world of a Grasse perfume house.
For the holiday season, offering a perfume, perfume set, home fragrance, or creation experience is choosing a gift that leaves a lasting impression. Between our women’s and men’s fragrances, home scents, candles, and skincare, each option can suit a personality, a memory, or a season. And when in doubt, our online perfume advisor can help you identify the closest Galimard olfactory signature based on a perfume already worn, ensuring a gift that’s thoughtful and perfectly matched.
To complement these year-end gestures, we also offer e-boutique perks: a 15 ml Eau de Parfum bottle is offered for orders over €30; a second gift plus 5% off applies for orders over €90; and a third gift with 5% off for orders over €150 (offers valid on e-boutique product purchases).
