6 crowd-pleasing scents our beauty team say you can buy online, without smelling first

A collage of perfumes you can buy online, without smelling first as recommended by woman&home's beauty team, including (from L to R), Elie Saab Elixir Love, Le Labo The Noir 29 and Maison Margiela Lazy Sunday/ in a beige to grey sunset-style template.

When it comes to gift giving, a chic fragrance will always be well-received. That said, choosing a scent for someone else - especially if you don't have time to sniff any yourself - is no easy feat. Thus, our team of perfume lovers have shared six blends you can blind-buy with confidence...

While scent can be subjective, many of the best long-lasting perfumes boast universal appeal, or at the very least, some common ground. A woody floral, for instance, might please a lover of warm and musky signatures as well as it does a traditional floral fragrance fan. This sort of crowd-pleasing aroma makes for a chic and low-maintenance gift, as it's likely to impress and can be ordered online - in the very likely event that you haven't had the time to sniff your way through a physical perfume counter. This is especially true if you're unsure of your loved one's fragrance tastes but still want to treat them.
