Thank your comrades-in-arms by treating them to the same level of class and style that she sees in you. Here are our suggestions for the perfect “thank you” to those that know you best.

The Scents
Leather Oud and Honey Oud
It’s time you’ve both grown out of sharing that bottle of CK One in the bathroom. A matching set of Floris scents are the perfect thing for when you hit the town together. Both Eau de Parfums are rich, deep, and complex; the distinct Oud backbone is made sweeter with honey or more enticing with leather. Each is well suited to either the Bride or the Groom, making this a gift you both can enjoy.
