With only a matter of days to go until the Big Day I know not all of us are organised when it comes to gift giving. That last minute rush and panic buying in the days prior to Christmas is as much of a tradition for many as the event itself, but it can also be incredibly stressful if you're genuinely at a loss as to what to give. In my opinion you can't go wrong with a beautiful scent, even if it is a touch cliche and predictable, as most of us love dousing ourselves in an elegant perfume - but rarely find an excuse to treat ourselves. If you're panicking about what to buy the ladies in your life, here are nine scents handpicked by me that are sure to be loved by everyone; there's not an offensive note in sight, with each providing a subtle and timeless fragrance that means you can't go wrong. No need to worry about what they usually wear or if you're picking the right thing, because these nine scents are sure to be appreciated by all - but without being too generic or boring.
