The most romantic day of the year is just around the corner and nothing says ‘I love you’ better than a bottle of fragrance. Every February 14th, lovers from around the world show their affection by presenting their Valentine with a carefully chosen gift. If you’ve decided that perfume is the best gift for your loved one this year, here are a few tips to help you choose Valentine’s Day fragrance gifts.

The thing about fragrance is that it is really personal, which often means it can be difficult enough to find a scent for yourself let alone anyone else. That said, if you understand a little more about the types of fragrance available or can do some snooping in your loved one’s bathroom cabinet or dressing table, then you can get an idea of the fragrances they might like.

If you know what they like

If your investigative efforts have paid off and you know what they already wear, why not buy them a gift set featuring their favourite fragrance? They can enjoy the scent they love but also have a miniature for on-the-go use or a matching deodorant, shower gel or body lotion to complement and enhance the fragrance on their skin.
