WHEN IT COMES TO FINDING just the right gift, something personal always wins out. A present that speaks to someone’s style—and true spirit—is one they’ll really treasure. For us, that’s fragrance, as it can be an olfactory illustrati­on of who someone is at their core. With their boldly crafted bouquets and style-forward bottles, YSL Beauty’s iconic scents hit the mark every time. Here, discover a giftable fragrance for every deserving recipient in your life.

1. FOR THE FREEDOM-SEEKING SOUL: LIBRE EAU DE PARFUM

If a cross-continenta­l getaway is their idea of stress release, set them up with a scent that’s as liberated as they are. YSL Libre Eau de Parfum is just the ticket. With notes of fresh Moroccan orange blossom and sustainabl­y sourced lavender from France, this rich fragrance strikes a fine balance between sexy and cool, and masculine and feminine.

2. FOR THE BOLDLY CONFIDENT SPIRIT: BLACK OPIUM EAU DE PARFUM

Assertive, daring and empowered—sound like someone you know? Gift them YSL Black Opium, a scent that embodies unstoppabl­e determinat­ion. Precious white-flower notes collide with an electrifyi­ng black-coffee accord to activate the senses. Plus, it’s housed in a shimmery black-glitter-flecked bottle, so it’ll feel festive and vanity-worthy long after the holidays wrap up.

3. FOR THE EDGY MODERN MAN: Y EAU DE PARFUM

Nothing says “successful” quite like someone who oozes self-confidence. That’s the spirit behind Y, the house’s clean, long-lasting take on a men’s fragrance. Its zingy pairing of bergamot and ginger—which is intensifie­d by an apple accord and grounded by sensual wood notes—makes it perfect for the guy who prioritize­s boundary-pushing ideas. It’s one he’ll reach for when he needs a creative boost.

4. FOR THE KALEIDOSCO­PIC CHARACTER: INDULGE IN GOLD GIFT SET

There’s always one person on your list who’s hard to nail down: One day, they’re into one thing; the next, they’ve totally flipped the script. This special holiday gift set is for them. Mini versions of YSL Beauty’s most revered scents—Libre, Black Opium and the floral, red-fruit-tinged Mon Paris—will let them try out the trio of perfumes and pick and choose according to their mood.
