"I'm giving out this Philosophy gift set to all my aunts this year. The scent was a favorite of my saint-like grandmother, who sadly passed this summer. The smell is so comforting—it makes me feel like she's here, sitting beside me telling some rambling story about some friend named Tilly she used to drive to church." —Maura Lynch, Senior Beauty Editor, InStyle
