Alkemia Holiday Gift Ideas & Highlights of the Season

Our newest perfume collection of samples, extraits, and EDPs.
is available as
Seasonal Festive Fragrances - $18-45 USD
Our collection of seasonal perfumes highlight the winter holiday season and weave a rich and varied sensory tapestry.
In perfumes like Dust of Snow and Ammil, the clean smell of freshly fallen snow mingles with elements like hemlock pine and musk to evoke nature's serenity. Perfumes like Magpie's Rhyme, Persian Tearoom, Smoke and Mirrors, and Encircling Flame bring us indoors where the air is filled with the sweet and spicy notes of lovingly prepared holiday treats and the woodsmoke from crackling fireplaces. The invigorating earthiness of forest trees in Ydalir, In a Northern Wood, and Falling Stars at Winter Solstice reminds us of the enduring beauty of nature amidst the colder months. Winter also calls for cozy, intimate scents like Winter Sanctuary, Bronze and Blaze, and Evening Song and invitingly warm romantic perfumes like our best-selling Enchantress, Virtue of Desire, and Silken Tent.

While supplies last, we are offering a special Customizable Holiday Gift Set of selected seasonal perfumes. Each set of three comes in a small golden gift bag.
Alkemia Introductory Sample Set - $30

Themed Sample Sets - $20 USD
Premade sample sets are a fun and easy way to explore a variety of our perfumes, scent notes, and fragrance aesthetics. Build Your Own sample sets allow you to customize samples to fit your recipient's personality and interests, highlight a theme, or communicate a special message.
Gifting sample sets at a small group gathering provides an excellent opportunity for a "fragrance soirée," where guests can compare each other's samples and discuss their favorite scents.
Pheromone Alchemy C24 - $30 USD
Know someone who dreads holiday parties or who is worried about being with their own or their partner's family for the holidays? C24 is a pheromone elixir to inspire comfort, intimacy, and warm feelings in others. It encourages deepened bonding/affection in existing relationships, catalyzes new friendships, and inspires greater social conviviality. For the more introverted or shy, it works as a "social rescue remedy" making connecting with people easier.
Perfume Fixative - $18-30 USD
Our exclusive perfume fixative ($18 USD) will enhance the longevity of any perfumes that are too ephemeral. Our fixative is now available in an alcohol-free spray format ($30 USD) that can work as a base layer for any EDP or cologne.

Single Layering Notes - $20-45 USD
A set of single layering note perfumes either as a sample set ($20 USD) or in bottles ($20-$45 USD) will let your favorite perfume lover customize the perfumes in their fragrance wardrobe to match their moods or the seasons, experiment with making their own fragrance creations, rekindle romances with perfumes that have become boring, or add their favorite scent element. Single layering notes are also beloved by people who prefer simple, unfussy perfumes. Our newest single layering notes are Vanille and Tabac.
Special Reserves - $30-50 USD
For connoisseurs and people who delight in the finer things, bottles or samples of special reserves like dark-fruited Cherries of Night, glowing Ambre de Amour, intoxicating Club des Hashischins, or sultry The Love Thief make memorable gifts.
