Perfume and Aftershave make an excellent easy Christmas gift. However choosing the right one can be difficult and the wrong one can end up gathering dust in a cupboard or at worst recycled and one day given back to you as a gift.
If fragrance is your choice of gift this Christmas but your struggling which one to buy for who then perhaps a Vivabox from The Perfume Shop would be a great option.
The Vivabox is available for both men and women. It comes as a small smear box with 2 pull out drawers.
The top drawer contains 7 tester vials of the best selling fragrances each one carefully selected by a team of perfume experts. Obviously the ladies box contains ladies only fragrances and men get men ones.
The concept behind this great idea is that the recipient gets to try out all 7 perfume samples at home.
Once they decide which is their favourite there is a voucher enclosed in the bottom drawer which then enables them to exchange the voucher for a full sized bottle of their favourite scent at any one of the perfume shops across the country. I have found there is at least one in most major town centres I have been to.
The 7 samples themselves contain a fair bit of each of the fragrances too, usually 1-2 ml giving a fair few sprays of each and plenty of time to decide on the favourite.
There is also a fragrance guide enclosed alongside the voucher.
I have listed both men’s and women’s sample fragrances found in the Vivaboxes and the size the voucher can be exchanged for.

The only problem I now have is deciding on my favourite which is difficult as I like all the ladies scents. Perhaps the Jimmy Choo one, it’s very nice.
