Choosing a fragrance as a gift can feel daunting: scent is intimate, subjective, and tied to memory in a way few other presents are. But that’s exactly what makes it so special. Giving someone a fragrance is an act of intuition and care: a way of saying I see your taste, your style, your essence, and I picked this with you in mind.
To help you find the perfect place to start, we asked a few of our favorite creators — people who live and breathe design, culture, and creativity — which Future Society scent they love gifting to others, and why.

“Floating Forest, of course :) There is a reason it's Future Society's best seller. I was describing it the other day and realized the fragrance isn't too feminine or masculine, too sweet or too deep/musky... it lands a perfect balance. It's a fragrance that not only will get you compliments but it's perfect for everyday wear. You will smell unique, and not like everyone else!”

Travel & Culture
“My favourite Future Society scent to introduce people to is Solar Canopy because it’s a scent that introduces itself! When I’ve worn it around a friend who’s never smelled it before; they will often say “ooh someone smells good, are you wearing a new perfume?” And as I carry it with me, they are sold once they try it!
“I think it’s the strong feminine smell that draws people in and it’s just that bit different to other scents because of how it was made.”

Interior Design & Style
“My favorite Future Society scent to introduce people to? Easyyyyy — Grassland Opera. I rotate through all of the FS scents depending on my mood or what I'm up to, but the one I always pass along to other people is Grassland Opera. It is just so clean and grounding and IMO unisex enough to work for anyone (my husband steals mine all the time).
“I have a really fond association with Grassland Opera because I always use this one when I'm taking big meetings for my interior design business. It somehow makes me feel more confident and less anxious at the same time. She’s a keeper for sure.
“And honestly, it's really just a gateway drug because once you have your hands on one of the fragrances, you inevitably want to try them all.”
A Final Thought
Scent may be personal, but that’s precisely why it makes such a powerful gift. Whether you choose something airy, grounding, bold, or beautifully balanced, a Future Society fragrance carries intention with it. And as these creators show, the right perfume doesn’t just smell good; it tells a story, sparks curiosity, and invites someone into a world they’ll want to keep exploring.
