Photo 7/11
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.

Gift it if she likes: Tom Ford Santal Blush; Elizabeth & James Nirvana Bourbon; Byredo Rose of No Man's Land

This pleasing Oriental perfume is meant for the spiciest, extra-est lady in your squad. It's bold without being overpowering and peppery without smelling like the entire spice rack. And the gold-embossed bottle is damn stylish, too.

Notes: mulberry, black peony, night-blooming jasmine, tuberose absolute, black musk, patchouli, vetiver

Gift it if she likes: Viktor & Rolf Flowerbomb; Nest Black Tulip

This chypre fragrance is chic, lush and darkly romantic -- a classic white floral after a much sexier makeover. Give it to a friend who's the Veronica to your Betty, the Bella to your Gigi.

Notes: bergamot, black pepper, magnolia, cedarwood, patchouli, sandalwood

Gift it if she likes: Fresh Cannabis Santal; Tom Ford Venetian Bergamot; Byredo Mojave Ghost

You might expect a cannabis perfume to smell like a college dorm room, but it doesn't; it's citrusy and bright as it opens and earthy as it dries down. The unusual unisex scent is perfect for those who wrinkle their noses at too-femme fragrances, and the Scandinavian-style minimal packaging is so chic. Buy it for a cool, outdoorsy friend.

More than 500 Damask rose petals go into each rhinestone-crusted bottle of Blushing, a detail that makes this luxe floral gourmand perfume even more special. This precious fragrance is meant for someone especially dear to your heart, like your sister, mom or best friend.
