The Ultimate EPC Gift Guide

The Ultimate EPC Gift Guide

Because the best gifts don’t smell like everyone else’s.

There are two kinds of Christmas gifts. There are the ones that say “I panic-bought this two days before Christmas”. And the ones that say “I saw this and thought of you”.

At EPC, we’re firmly committed to the second category.

Scent is one of the few gifts that outlast the season. Long after the tree’s down and all the festive chocolate has mysteriously disappeared (we’re not judging), fragrance lingers. It becomes a ritual. A memory. A moment replayed every time the bottle is opened.

So this year, it’s time to skip the generic. Give your loved ones something made with intention: thoughtful, personal, theirs.

Need a little inspiration? Here’s our definitive guide to gifting something unforgettable, organised by every type of person on your list.

1. For The Curious Explorer

They’re that friend who’s been to every restaurant, and seen a thousand films you’ve never even heard of. They love options, adore surprises, and genuinely enjoy the phrase: “Let’s smell one more”.

Our Discovery Sets are made for them.

Think 9x bold finished perfumes crafted with rare ingredients, ready to wear and fall in love with. It’s the smartest, chicest way to explore the EPC universe – without committing to one bottle right away.

Each spray feels like opening the door to a whole new fragrant universe. You’re basically gifting them a full olfactory passport.

2. For The Creative Soul

If they’ve ever said “I just wish I could make my own perfume” congratulations… you’ve found their perfect gift.

Our Creation Sets turn anyone into a perfumer for the afternoon: blending, experimenting, then triumphantly shaking the bottle to combine their bespoke scent. It’s tactile, playful, genuinely joyful – and never prescriptive. The instructions guide, but their intuition leads.

And at the end, they’ve created something no one else in the world owns.

This is the gift that sparks wonder. And a beautiful new ritual.

3. For The Experience Seeker

Some people don’t want more things. They want stories. Moments. Something they’ll talk about at dinners for the next six months.

This is the gift that becomes a memory.

During our Luxe Blending Experience, they’ll sit with one of our Blending Masters – surrounded by raw ingredients, droppers and beakers – and craft their own bespoke fragrance. It’s intimate, sensorial and hands-on.

They leave not just with a bottle, but with a feeling: I made this.

And that’s a gift you simply can’t wrap.

4. For The Aspiring Perfumer

For the person who loves scent so much they want to understand it at the molecular level. The one who lights up at words like aldehyde or accord. The one who has opinions – strong ones – about amber.

Give them the education they’ve been dreaming of.

Our online Perfumery Course dives into the craft of perfumery with real professional techniques, expert guidance and a fully equipped kit that feels like a treasure chest. They’ll learn to create, refine and confidently design fragrances from home.

This is more than a gift. It’s a doorway into a new obsession.

5. For The Passionate Perfumer

This is for the deep-cut scent people. The ones who already have the pipettes. The ones who smell a fragrance and know exactly what’s in it.

They want the raw stuff. The real stuff. The ingredients perfumers use behind the scenes.

From natural extracts to aroma chemicals, our perfumery materials are the gift that fuels experimentation and delights the inner chemist.

It's niche, and it’s absolutely perfect for them.

This holiday season, don’t just gift things. Gift emotion. Exploration. Craft. Memory.

Whether they’re curious, creative, hands-on, academic or utterly scent-obsessed, EPC has something that feels thoughtful and impossible to forget.

Because the best gifts don’t just sit on a shelf. They stay on skin… and that’s where the magic really happens.
