Fragrance, like romantic partners or the direction in which you place toilet paper onto the holder, is based solely on personal preference — and can be just as divisive should you make the wrong decision. That's why giving a perfume as a gift is especially tricky terrain.

Still, it can be done: "Fragrance makes a great last-minute gift, and, often, stores will have pre-wrapped options for you," Linda G. Levy, the president of The Fragrance Foundation, told POPSUGAR.
