Buying perfume for someone else at Christmas can be tricky, especially if you don’t know exactly what they like. However, Debenhams shoppers think they’ve found a guaranteed hit with this popular Chloé scent – and even better, it has been slashed in price in a pre-Christmas sale.

First up, we think this Chloé scent makes a gorgeous Christmas present just by looking at it, with its ribbed glass bottle and burgundy ribbon.
Of course, though, what’s most important is what it smells like. Described as an ‘addictive floral fragrance’, this EDP has notes of juicy raspberry, rose and warm woods, creating a modern, feminine fragrance that we think would suit anyone – and shoppers clearly agree, judging by the hundreds of positive reviews.
“I absolutely love this perfume! It’s so strong everyone at work compliments me when I wear it! I actually purchased the full size product because I enjoyed it so much!” wrote one of the many customers who said they receive plenty of compliments whenever they wear it.
Another remarked on how perfect if was for this time of year, writing: “This fragrance screams to me…festive! It is really beautiful, and I can imagine it makes a perfect Christmas gift. But I would wear it any ordinary day as well, I think it suits winter time tough. Stunning.”
A third person said how you can even take a chance and buy it without smelling it first: “Amazing scent. Says unisex but I feel it is more of a feminine scent.You can buy blindly and it will suit everyone” – ideal for if you’re struggling to know what to buy someone for Christmas.
One shopper, however, did say that it wasn’t for them – although it did suit someone else much better: “Not a fan of this smell on me. It’s not that it doesn’t smell nice, just on my skin chemistry it smells kinda odd and I wasn’t a huge fan. It smells much nicer on my mother!”
If you know someone who loves modern floral fragrances, however, we think this is a great buy – especially while it’s in this huge pre-Christmas sale.
In fact, Debenhams is fast becoming the place to shop for fragrance bargains. We’ve also spotted the classic YSL Black Opium Eau De Parfum with 20% off, and the popular Calvin Klein Eternity Moment For Her Eau De Parfum down from £59 to an incredible £21.
And over on Lookfantastic you can find scent steals such as Marc Jacobs Daisy Ever So Fresh Eau de Parfum for Women with 40% off, and Hugo Boss Femme Eau de Parfum now half price.
