    Find your loved one the perfect perfume this Christmas with Scentlab's new genius shopping experience

    Perfumes have long been one of the most popular pressies to unwrap on Christmas morning, but it can be tricky to know which sort of scent to pick for your loved ones during the festive season.

    Luckily for us, help is at hand, thanks to a fab new initiative called Scentlab, which is coming to a high street beauty store near you. Already launched in Debenhams in Glasgow, with the Westfield London and Cardiff equivalent soon to follow suit, Scentlab allows you to choose the perfect perfume without the fuss of sales assistants and Christmas shopping crowds getting in the way.

    But how does it work? Find the Scentlab touchscreen in one of the selected department stores and it will take you through a brief questionnaire before providing you with a choice of three fragrances best suited to your answers. Genius. So, for example, if you're buying for your mum, simply answer the questions as you think they relate to her, and the scents will suit her personality and tastes. What's more, a Facebook version is in the pipeline, making it even easier to find that perfect Christmas gift.

    Head on down to Debenhams in Glasgow, Westfield London and Cardiff from today to give it a go!
