This Classic Beauty Brand Always Makes Me Everyone’s Favorite Gift Giver

Coco Mademoiselle ($198)

“I got Coco Mademoiselle as a gift for my 20th birthday, and no fragrance has ever made me feel more sophisticated and alluring,” says editorial assistant Isabelle Buneo. “I experiment with new fragrances often, but I find myself coming back to Coco Mademoiselle like a moth to a flame—it’s so soft and feminine yet complex and even a little earthy. I get the most compliments when I wear it—it’s a crowd pleaser for sure.”

For the holidays we love this Coco Mademoiselle set (pictured here) in limited-edition holiday packaging that features the classic Mademoiselle bottle and a travel-friendly Twist and Spray.

N°5 Eau de Parfum and Body Oil Set ($230)

It doesn’t get more timeless than a gold bottle of CHANEL N°5. With a unique and long-lasting scent, our editor describes it as “fresh and floral to warm and woodsy.” It’s a crowd-pleaser in every form. To celebrate the holidays, the brand created a gift duo featuring N°5 Eau de Parfum and N°5 The Body Oil, a formula that leaves skin silky soft, nourished and moisturized for up to eight hours.

All Eyes On Makeup Set ($123)

Want a one-step smokey eye that doesn’t budge? Look no further than CHANEL’s Stylo Yuex Waterproof eyeliner, available in 88 Noir Intense as part of a luxurious holiday trio with La Base Mascara primer and Le Volume de CHANEL mascara in 10 Noir. Don’t forget the woven pouch with metallic white threads that “evoke the sparkling glimmer of snow.”

High Points Makeup Set ($143)

No one quite does makeup like CHANEL. The brand is an award show staple for a reason. Two of our favorites are always the Baume Essentiel highlighter and the Rouge Coco Baume lipstick, which happen to be in another gorgeous holiday set that includes the Noir Allure mascara. Baume Essentiel in Lilas will melt into your skin and illuminate your complexion. Noir Allure will enhance eyes and set an impressive curl. Rouge Coco Baume lipstick—famously worn by Margot Robbie and Sofia Richie Grainge—in My Rose is the most flattering shade of rosy pink.

Chance Eau Fraîche Gentle Perfumed Soaps ($85)

For the hostess in your life who always goes above and beyond, CHANEL’s Chance Eau Fraîche Gentle Perfumed Soaps is a gift that’s sure to impress. The fresh and zesty scent is one our executive editor Liz Ritter holds near and dear to her own heart.

“I was on a particularly turbulent flight right around the time CHANEL Chance first came out in 2002. The flight attendant was wearing the most delicious perfume, and I asked her what it was in hopes it would bring a semblance of calm to my over-anxious brain. ‘It’s a perfume called Chance; I’m a CHANEL girl,’ she said, as we made small talk for a few minutes. I think she knew I needed a distraction and, since that day, I always associate the scent with a little bit of comfort.”

Active Beauty Skincare Set ($221)

For luxurious skin care on the go, your search is over. CHANEL’s Active Beauty Skincare Set includes La Crème Main, a softening hand cream that also strengthens nails up to 70 percent when used over time (per the brand), UV Essentiel, an advanced SPF 50 that delivers complete protection against UVA and UVB rays, pollution and oxidation and the Hydra Beauty Essence Mist, a refreshing spritz of hydration, or a master makeup setter.
