For the aesthete
Try: Ellis Brooklyn Sci Fi Eau de Parfum, $100

You've been to her apartment and almost everything is white — except for her ever-growing collection of plants, of course. She's going to want a fragrance that's similarly styled, like this modern, clean citrus (especially since it also happens to be cruelty-free and eco-friendly).

For the young at heart
Try: Viktor & Rolf Flowerbomb Nectar, $170

She's nostalgic for the halcyon days when fruity body sprays were all the rage, but she wants an update for 2018. Flowerbomb Nectar is pleasantly fruity and sweet without being, you know, too fruity and sweet.

For the tea enthusiast
Try: Jo Malone London Ginger Biscuit Cologne, $140

She's constantly warming her perpetually cold hands on a mug of hot tea (preferably with a splash of cream and sugar). For this friend, go for something unerringly Anglophilic and consummately refined, like this comfortingly spicy option from Jo Malone London.

For the artiste
Try: Penhaligon's Portraits Changing Constance Eau de Parfum, $250

Maybe she's literally an artist or maybe she just has the sensibilities of one, but either way, you can always find her wrapped in an oversized scarf (or maybe sporting some seriously cool statement earrings). Get her a perfume that's similarly eccentric in appearance (while also smoky, refined and slightly mysterious in scent).

For the sweet, summer child
Try: Proenza Schouler Arizona Eau de Parfum, $130

She's always off on weekend trips to perpetual-summer locales like Palm Springs and never goes anywhere without her oversized shades. Conjure up those breezy getaway vibes with this cactus flowery hit that's 100 percent It girl-approved.
