A luxury gift is something you should always say yes to, and there’s something particularly special about gifting something lavish to yourself. It’s an indulgent experience, from selecting to unboxing and then using it. In fact, gifting yourself can feel as empowering as when you receive something from someone else or when your loved ones are unwrapping their gift. This year, we have just the fragrances for your list.

Oscar de la Renta’s Alibi Eau Sensuelle is a soft, sensual fragrance that can make any day feel infinitely more elevated, whereas the Alibi Eau de Parfum was designed to be a bold metaphor for the glamorous complexity of the modern woman. Ahead, more reasons why you should gift yourself or your loved ones these this season.

The Notes

Alibi Eau Sensuelle embraces soft femininity, bringing it to life with smooth undertones of bergamot and white tea. Floral rose and tiger orchid gently evoke a whisper of intrigue, while the drydown invites warm sensuality through musk, sandalwood, and velvety amber. On the skin, it feels intimate and alluring. The warm and luxurious fragrance is the very essence of femininity.

Alibi Eau de Parfum is a bright, effervescent scent meant to feel just as silky smooth as Sensuelle, with an added pop of glam. Infused with juxtaposing notes of mandarin, warm vanilla, and musk, the complex scent was curated with uniquely succulent yet sultry and charming florals.

The Bottle

Inspired by Oscar de la Renta’s iconic Alibi handbag, the structured silhouette of Eau Sensuelle’s bottle features delicate gold hardware. Frosted glass romanticizes the fragrance inside, so that when placed on a vanity or dresser, it’s an objet d’art within itself. The elegant, gift-ready box calls to mind graceful elements of the handbag as well, with debossed pick stitch details and Saffiano leather framing.

In an identical bottle, gilded finishes act as the perfect accent to the rosé-hued Eau de Parfum encased within. Designed by the creative directors of the brand, it would be a shame not to have the ultra chic bottle on display for guests to admire — and to serve as a beautiful reminder of the opulence you’ve gifted yourself.

The Mood

The act of spritzing on a sumptuous scent can elevate the everyday, adding a bit of glimmer to the mundane. To further that appeal, Sensuelle envelops the wearer in a sensorial experience. From the feel of the bottle in your hands to the way the scent continues to unfurl off your skin throughout the day, every moment wearing it is a lingering reminder of your powerful yet soft femininity.

Alibi Eau de Parfum was curated to mimic the captivating and multidimensional layers of a woman. Meant to embody the duality of modern femininity and chic sensuality, the free-spirited scent comes together in a complex, uplifting, and effervescent blend you’ll reach for on celebratory occasions.

The Gift

Ok, so you’ve treated yourself and now you feel it would be wrong not to share the fragrant wealth with your loved ones. The Alibi gift set comes complete with a 3.4 ounce and 1 ounce travel size version of the Eau de Parfum, along with a velvety body lotion sharing that same unforgettable citrus, floral scent. Encased in a gift-ready golden box with embossed glittering touches, the present is bound to be as memorable for your lucky giftee as the lingering scent will be.
