Treat your Valentine to something new

Valentine’s Day has always been about meaningful gestures, and few gifts feel as personal or as evocative as fragrance.

A scent has the power to mark a moment, stir emotion and become part of someone’s story. This day of love is the perfect excuse to treat your Valentine to something new, choosing a fragrance that feels thoughtful, intimate and memorable long after the occasion has passed.

Versace Dylan Blush Pink Pour Femme is joyful, feminine and irresistibly modern, making it a beautiful choice for Valentine’s Day gifting. Created using a blend of high-quality natural and synthetic ingredients sourced through sustainable production chains, it balances luxury with modern values. At the heart of the fragrance is a soft marshmallow note, lending a delicate sweetness that feels airy rather than overpowering, contrasted with refined floral and citrus elements. It opens with luminous Calabrian bergamot and crisp strawberry apple, delivering an immediate burst of freshness. Orange blossom and freesia bring softness and femininity at the heart, while Madagascar vanilla and musk wrap the skin in a warm, sensual embrace. Ethereal and cloud-like, it leaves a lingering impression that feels romantic without being overly sweet.

For those who favour a richer, more confident scent, Dolce & Gabbana The One Eau de Parfum Intense offers a bold ambery floral reinterpretation of the original signature. Created by perfumer Quentin Bisch, it opens with a vibrant burst of pink pepper, mandarin and tangy blackcurrant, leading into a luminous jasmine heart. The base deepens into creamy vanilla and warm amber accords, creating a magnetic and sophisticated fragrance designed for the modern woman who commands attention. It is available in 30ml (€95), 50ml (€135) and 75ml (€172).

For him, the new release Dolce & Gabbana The One For Men Parfum introduces a deeper, more intense ambery-spicy dimension to the collection. Crafted by Jean-Christophe Hérault, it opens with black pepper, nutmeg and juicy tarocco orange, before revealing a woody-aromatic heart of labdanum, patchouli and clary sage. The base of smoky tobacco, vetiver and amber creates a layered, sensual finish that lingers on the skin. It is available in 50ml (€114) and 100ml (€155).

For the niche fragrance lover, Electimuss London offers a luxurious alternative that feels particularly special as a Valentine’s gift. The name Electimuss, meaning ‘to choose the best’, reflects the brand’s commitment to exceptional ingredients and bold compositions. The Electimuss London Discovery Set (€115) includes 20 x 1.8ml fragrances, making it ideal for those who enjoy exploring scent rather than committing to a single signature. Each fragrance is designed to deliver impressive longevity, sillage and projection, ensuring a truly indulgent experience, and is available locally from Republic of Oud.
