A Fragrance To Share This Christmas

It’s beginning to smell a lot like Christmas. You’ve got the tree up, Christmas day is planned and the countdown to the 25th is on, but are you still searching for a last-minute Christmas gift or ‘icing on top of the Christmas cake’ finishing touch? Look no further.  Our Quintessence Eau de Parfum is the perfect pressie for your other half, your best friend, a special family member or a treat for you to indulge in after all the panic that comes with the silly season. Here are 3 reasons why our Quintessence fragrance is our go-to Christmas gift.  

A fragrance to share

So, what is in the name Quintessence? Developed with both men and women in mind, the fifth element at Avant Skincare is a refined fragrance. Quintessence is the step further that blur the clusters between beauty made for men and beauty made for women - and marks the true nature of a ‘fragrance to share’. As a floral amber fragrance with sweet, warm hues, a splash of citrus and a spicy note, Quintessence Eau de Parfum is a genderless perfume that stands for the complementary element in your beauty regime and is one that everyone can enjoy. 

Quintessence has distinctive top notes of elemi, infused with mandarin, which blends with the zestiness of orange blossom to bring a vibrant freshness to the top notes. At the heart, the uplifting scent reminiscent of warm moonlit walks and Mediterranean nights when Jasmine becomes its most potent. This intoxicating and refined scent begins with the heady florals of Jasmine with an unexpected twist of refreshingly sweet Orris and Plum. 

As for the base notes, earthy and woody Patchouli and Vanilla, Praline, White Musk create the perfect foundation for a sultry scent and its considered blends are suitable for unisex. This modern and shareable classic is the epitome of sophistication, no matter who the recipient is. 

Leave a lasting impression 

There is nothing better than a gift where the gift-giver has genuinely taken the time to think about what the recipient would like to receive. Amongst the clutter of Christmas chocolates, another duplicated set of winter mittens and more scarves than days in winter, perfume shines out as one of the most personal and thoughtful presents someone can buy. 

Studies have also shown that fragrance and specific scents can affect your mood. "Scents can have positive effects on mood, stress reduction, sleep enhancement, self-confidence, and physical and cognitive performance," says Theresa Molnar, executive director of the Sense of Smell Institute, the research and educational arm of the perfume industry's Fragrance Foundation. Our Quintessence Eau de Parfum boasts scents of citrus hues, known to uplift, and comprises of amber and spicy notes, which can evoke confidence. 

Give the gift that won’t be re-gifted

Gifting can always be a bit of a gamble but we can guarantee that a perfume will not be shunned to the pile of unwanted presents. Perfume is a daily essential that all gift-receivers will appreciate and it’ll last a lot longer than Christmas chocolates. Not only are you giving someone something that they actually need, but you’re also saving them a trip to their local department store for a perfume top up later down the line.
