For this year’s Guerlain Christmas gifting series, the brand turns emotions into something tangible. Curated fragrance and skincare sets that can be used immediately and treasured long term. Aimee Yan takes you through the highlights
This winter, the brand presents Tales of Wonder, a festive theme that connects scent, gifting and seasonal rituals. The focus returns to the essence of gift-giving that choosing something that suits the recipient, yet feels just as right for yourself. This year’s Tales of Wonder series spanning everything from anti-ageing skincare sets to fragrance boxes, covering a wide range of budgets and needs. Whatever your price point, you’re likely to find something that fits.
Take the Advanced Youth Watery Oil Anti-Ageing Repair Set (HK$1,705) as an example: it compiles the brand’s signature honey-infused repairing line into one box. A serum paired with day and night creams. Now that is a routine that anyone can immediately incorporate into their skincare. For someone who prioritises skin texture or travels frequently, this set feels far more thoughtful than a single product.

However, fragrance sets often test how well you know the person you’re gifting. This year’s Aqua Allegoria collection makes the decision a little easier. The scents are clean in structure and distinct in character, making it simple to select according to the recipient’s “everyday scent profile”. Ideal if you’re looking for a gift around the HK$1,000 mark that is thoughtful, refined, and beautifully put together.

For something with greater collectible value, Imagine Guerlain Millésime 2025 is a standout. Designed by artist Géraldine Gonzalez, it continues Guerlain’s tradition of annual limited-edition artworks. Definitely a meaningful choice for fragrance connoisseurs, design enthusiasts or seasonal collectors.
