Yes, I do. The main motivation for giving perfume as a gift is taking a risk and thinking about the scent and fragrance that they might like. I only do it for people who are close to me because I don't want to risk giving them a perfume they might not enjoy. It's a personal preference, and I wouldn't want to offend anyone.
