Gift-giving can be tricky, even for someone you have known and loved for years! Taste is super personal, especially regarding art, fashion, and fragrance. Because of this, many people are hesitant to risk giving their loved ones perfume, worried they will choose the wrong scent profile and leave their person disappointed. While it may be risky to grab a super unique statement fragrance for someone who isn’t big on perfume, some ways can increase your chances of success.

Some scents are universally (or at least broadly) appealing, making them more popular among more people. By sticking to fragrances that include these familiar and universally appealing scent notes, you can help to increase your chances of choosing a perfume your special someone will enjoy! This guide will focus on two simple scent profiles popular among people with wide-ranging tastes: Citrus and florals.

Citrus scents are a great compromise between sweet and spicy and fill the role of freshness to keep the nose invigorated. Florals come in various concentrations and profiles and can add everything from warm nectar to slightly bitter or earthy scents.

Here are three citrus and floral scents that even the pickiest person will adore:
