Dior Miss Dior Eau de Parfum, $74-$124
Notes: lemon, mandarin, pink pepper, sweet orange, bergamot, Grasse rose, Damask rose, jasmine leaf, rosewood, patchouli

Gift it if she likes: Chloé Roses de Chloe; Stella McCartney Stella

Rose is at the heart of Dior's newperfume, one that probably sounds familiar: Miss Dior was designer Christian Dior's first fragrance, launched in 1947. It's been given a fresh, 2017 update with Calabrian bergamot and Grasse rose absolute. This soft, classic fragrance deserves to be worn by woman who's just as feminine and timelessly chic.
