Between gifts to give, deadlines to be respected at work, Christmas dinners in advance and ideas about the upcoming New Year, we end up neglecting ourselves a lot, arriving practically semi-exhausted in the period of the year, which more than any other should remind us to enjoy ourselves. our time in full magic and relaxation. Do not worry, we are there to remind you to carve out some special moments for you and pamper yourself a little even close to the holidays. Like? Here are five gift ideas for yourself to make your Christmas even more magical!

2. Awaken your senses with a fragrance that fully reflects your personality

Start with yourself! Reconnecting with yourself and your body is a great way to find serenity and experience as little stress and anxieties as possible that derive from the hectic life of every day. Often, a simple fragrance can take you to distant and suggestive worlds and evoke hidden dimensions and sides that you thought were lost or dormant. It is a simple gesture that can help us to savor a note of "elsewhere" even in our daily routine, marked by commitments and habits that are often all the same. There is a reason that pushes us to prefer one type of fragrance rather than another and lies in the ability of the fragrance to reflect our personality and make us feel unique. That's right: it is no coincidence that you prefer the scent of the rose, that of the orange flower, bergamot or verbena. For this reason, Roger & Gallet has thought of five cologne extracts with different fragrances and atmospheres that reflect as many souls. to play with to express ourselves to the fullest. From the blackcurrant-based perfume by Cassis Frénésie for women with a more energetic and sparkling spirit to the intense and luminous notes of neroli for those who love carefree joy, up to the dreamy atmospheres of Thé Fantasie, with the aphrodisiac hedonism evoked by Tubéreuse Hédonie and the mysterious exoticism of Verveine Utopie, respectively for the most romantic and dreamy women, those who love to savor the pleasures of life and lovers of the more daring and less conventional side. Choose the fragrance that best represents you and color your days and your style with an extra refined note of pleasure: it is a cuddle you cannot give up!
