Paul Toner: Deputy Editor – Loewe Bittersweet Oud

I’ve never worn an oud scent before, I usually find them too overpowering. Yet when Loewe released the three scents that make up its Crafted Collection last October, the one that I was drawn to was Bittersweet Oud Eau de Parfum. There’s a tanginess to it with the introduction of the bitter orange which I love and a smoothness in the sandalwood. It’s super punchy and lasts all night, even after you’ve been out dancing until the early hours! If you’re looking for a fragrance to impress this Valentine’s, this one’s your gal!

Bella Koopman: Junior Social Media Editor and Fashion Writer – Le Labo Violette 30

Le Labo’s new scent, Voilette 30 Eau de Parfum, boasts the best balance between fresh and intense, lingering long after it’s been sprayed on both the skin and in the air. But it isn’t overwhelming. A heady mix of rare white violet, white tea, cedarwood and guaiacwood, it’s romantic, smooth and a little bit cheeky – the perfect scent for a date down at the local tavern. Your date won’t be turning their nose up at you, they’ll be stepping close for a subtle sniff.

Sonya Mazuryk: Fashion Assistant – Byredo Rose Of No Man’s Land

The perfect mix of rose, pepper and raspberry notes, Rose Of No Man’s Land Eau De Parfum by Byredo is like the love letter you’ll be spritzing all season long. Opening with bold, expensive confidence at the first spritz, it slowly evolves on the skin, transforming into a softer, sweeter bouquet – the olfactory equivalent of a slow-burn romance. Sophisticated yet undeniably swoon-worthy, it’s a seasonless scent that lingers beautifully from morning coffee dates to moonlit rendezvous.

Georgia Edwards: Fashion Assistant – Matiere Premiere Radical Rose Extrait de Parfum

I have a soft spot for Valentine’s Day; everything is perfectly pink, romantic and indulgent. Matière Première’s Radical Rose Extrait de Parfum captures the essence of the occasion perfectly. Its rich rose notes, arising from the central Rose Centifolia Absolute, and the unique warmth of the Croatian Immortelle Absolute makes the fragrance feel like luxury in a bottle – intoxicating and an ideal scent to wear on February 14. Or perhaps it could be a thoughtful gift for someone special (if my boyfriend happens to be reading this, Eddie I would be delighted to open this on Valentine’s morning). It’s a love story, baby just say yes. Shop here. [/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_single_image image="442464" img_size="full" alignment="center" onclick="link_image" css=""][vc_empty_space][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text css=""]

Sophia Neophitou: Global Editor-In-Chief – Lorenzo Villoresi Teint De Neige

For countless years, Teint De Neige Eau de Parfum by Lorenzo Villoresi has been my absolute favourite in the wonderful world of fragrance. It’s soft, romantic and irresistibly nostalgic, exactly the kind of scent that lingers like a cherished love letter. A central creation in the opus of the true IYKYK Florentine perfumer, it captures the unmistakable aroma of perfumed face powder, elevated by precious notes of rose, jasmine and ylang ylang. Love is most definitely in the air – especially with a spritz of this dreamy, powder-kissed scent. Shop here.
