Valentine’s Day is right around the corner. Even if you’re not entirely sure what your plans are for the day, looking and smelling extra good is definitely on the agenda. I love sweet scents that feature vanilla, musk, or just generally smell dessert-like. Here are a few of my favorite perfumes that are perfect for Valentine’s Day!
If you want to smell sweet and expensive
It’s hard to find a good sweet scent, that feels sophisticated without losing the overall sweetness. If you’re looking for a Valentine’s Day perfume that is sweet, yet bougie and sophisticated these are a few of my favorites.
Gentle Fluidity Gold – Maison Francis Kurkdjian
I first tried Gentle Fluidity Gold when I ordered the $14 sample set from the Maison Francis Kurkdjian website. It was my favorite out of the four that I tried, as I really like the musk and juniper berry notes in this fragrance. This is the kind of perfume that you put on when you want to feel luxurious, sophisticated, and sweet.
Musk | 12 – Kayali
Musk | 12 by Kayali is one of my all-time favorites perfumes. It smells sweet, powdery, and fresh. Its key notes include Sandalwood, Jasmine, and Musk. Whenever I want to feel like my best bad and bougie self, this is the perfume that I reach for. This perfume makes me feel powerful, sophisticated, and yet still very much in touch with my sweet side.
Musk | 12 also comes in a travel-size version for $25, and a rollerball with Vanilla | 28 by Kayali (which it layers with beautifully).
Love Don’t Be Shy – Killian
Love Don’t Be Shy is a top-tier sweet and luxurious scent. It smells decadent and dessert-like. Word on the street for years was this perfume is a favorite of Rihanna’s. For some reason when I wear this perfume, I feel like I should be eating expensive citrusy desserts in Paris. In the springtime. Love Don’t Be Shy feels like a grown and sexy version of Pink Sugar, and it layers beautifully with the Fairytale collection from Bath and Body Works.
If you want to smell delicious
Are shrimp and lobster towers within the scope of your Valentine’s Day plans? If so, here are some perfumes to encourage bae to get a lil closer.
Pink Sugar – Aquolina
Pink Sugar has been an old faithful since my teenage years. It’s my most complimented perfume, which is super sweet and dessert-like. This perfume is perfect for you if you’re really into sugary-sweet scents. With notes like cotton candy, orange, vanilla, and caramel, this perfume is a dessert lover’s dream. I ain’t even gon’ hold you, anytime I’ve worn this on a date, it was a hit. This perfume is always on sale on Groupon, or available for the low (less than $20) at Marshall’s and TJMaxx.
Eden | 01 – Kayali
Eden | 01 is the newest addition to the Kayali fragrance house. If you love fruity scents, this perfume is perfect for you. Its notes include Juicy Red Apple, Wild Berries, and Jasmine. It smells juicy, delicious, and playfully sexy. This would be perfect for a casual and fun Valentine’s Day date.
Vanilla | 28 – Kayali
Vanilla | 28 by Kayali is hands down the best true vanilla perfume I’ve ever come across. The OG, if you will. It’s beautiful on its own, delivering a scent that is sweet, slightly boozy, and inviting. It also layers beautifully with just about any perfume, adding a hint of sweetness. Its key notes include Vanilla Orchids, Tonka Absolute, and Amber Woods. Overall I feel like if you like vanilla scents, this perfume is a must-have for your collection.
