Valentine’s day is one of my favourite holidays of the year. Shops are filled with heart shaped truffles, blush pink gifts and the years first hint of blooming flowers. Throw in a date night, a glass of champaign and a spritz of my favourite fragrance and I’m one happy girl.
Finding the perfect gift can be a challenge, but perfumes tick all the boxes for being personal, romantic and a gift to enjoy for months to come. Just remember…
‘I’ve got too many perfumes’ – said no woman, ever.
Valentines Day isn’t just for couples either – love yourself and love your friends too! Galentine’s Day anyone? If you haven’t already got this penciled into your calendar, you’re going to need to keep the 13th of February free from now on. The increasingly popular holiday is a day to celebrate the girls in your life – those female friendships that empower you and keep you smiling. Needless to say the girls are just as important as the boys, so organise a girly evening and celebrate sisterhood!
For an extra brownie points, you could also get the perfume engraved with sweet nothings at The Perfume shop. All of the fragrances below are available to personalise, so whether it’s simply ‘I love you’ for your sweetheart, or ‘You’re the gin to my tonic’ for your BFF, you’ll make somebody very happy.
