If you’re anything like me, you hoard Diptyque’s candle sets to give as a gift–or, to keep for yourself. This set of four mini Diptyque candles is essential for anyone who needs their home to smell yummy and luxurious. Put one in every room to trick guests into thinking you’re super fancy.

Best Full Size Candle Set

Nest Votive Candle Trio ($54 Value)

Although we love a mini, sometimes, size really matters. Buying three, full-size luxury candles for under $40 feels like robbery, but this set is the real deal. The box includes a slew of scents that range from grapefruit to bamboo to ocean and sea salt, which all feel like a breezy summer vacation.

Best Designer Fragrance Set

Yves Saint Laurent Libre Eau de Parfum Set ($199 Value)

I once witnessed a fellow beauty editor get stopped three times in a row so people could admire how beautiful she smelled. The culprit for all this loving attention? Libre Eau de Parfum. In addition to the full- and mini-size versions of this iconic fragrance, the gift set also comes with a cute YSL pouch that you can use as a clutch for a night out.

Best Fragrance Gift Set

Gucci Bloom Eau de Parfum Travel Spray Set ($127 Value)

Question: If I wear this perfume set out, will Harry Styles, Gucci King, mysteriously appear to be my date?

No matter how many perfumes I accrue, Byredo will always hold a special place in my heart.

Best Cool Girl Fragrance Set

Tom Ford Ombré Leather Eau de Parfum Set ($265 Value)

Sometimes, I wish I was cool enough to rock this perfume–and not just because the letters on the box are my initials, which means I can pretend it’s customized to me. As the name suggests, this perfume is pure leathery goodness with added notes of jasmine and moss. Throw the mini in your going-out bag so your date knows you’re out of their league.
