There's something magical about how scent can evoke emotions – especially when it comes to love.
To celebrate Valentine's Day, we're delving into the innate connection between romance and perfumery to bring you our favorite fragrance notes.
Perfumers have long understood and drawn on the mood-enhancing effects of fragrance, and its ability to stir up sensual memories. It can even play a part in your love story, connecting precious moments to the scents that defined them. When chance happenings and key moments in our romantic lives unfold, our five senses have a strong influence on what we perceive. A trail of scent can suggest so much without saying a word – it's an intimate form of communication and a true language of love.

Traditionally, the most romantic perfumes have centred around a single flower – rose or jasmine, for example. Contemporary perfumes tend to be more complex, elevating this simplicity to new heights with subtle blends that combine lighter floral notes and deeper woody or spicy tones. The result is a nuanced and layered scent, worthy of representing the most passionate relationships.
Whether you're looking for a fragrance to wear on a date or simply choosing a Valentine's Day gift, our sweet-smelling floral perfumes will help to set the perfect tone.
