It’s not too late, my good folks. I know that Valentine’s Day is a few short days away but these fragrant gift ideas are widely available and easy to find. So go ahead – bring out your nose and dazzle your sweetie comes February 14th.
Salvatore Ferragamo Incanto Bloom ($62)
Inaugurating Ferragamo’s Parfums Incanto Cult Collection, Bloom is a thoughtful and creatively designed fragrance. With Ferragamo’s iconic Vara bow as inspiration and tea roses, grapefruit flowers, musk, cashmere wood, and freesia (carefully balanced by fragrance guru Sophie Labbe), Bloom combines the fashion and style of modern women everywhere. I love the sleekness of the opalescent white bottle and the natural, bright, and sophisticated tones of this fragrance. Available exclusively at Bloomingdales and at www.bloomingdagles.com.
Parfums des Beaux Arts Les Rouges Collection ($50)
When the peeps at Parfums des Beaux Arts say that this collection is “better than a box of even the finest chocolates,” they are not kidding! Every thing about this fabulous collection from niche perfumer Dawn Spencer is luxurious and exquisite. Each gift box comes with 4 miniature fragrances (Oeillets Rouges [red carnations], Fleurs d’Oranger [a rich orange blossom], Poivre [pepper], and Piment et Chocolat [pepper & chocolate] – the last two hands down my favorites. Mature and complex, these are fragrances to bring out in special occasion!) bound to each become her favorite in no time. Plus the entire packaging is handmade, hand poured and hand stamped. Available at www.dshperfumes.com.
By Kilian Prelude to Love ( $225)
Part of By Kilian’s L’Ouvre Noire collection, Prelude to Love is everything a fragrance should be – even if you haven’t realized it yet. One sniff and you’re hooked – for life! Luxuriously and extraordinarily created and crafted (for example, you’ll never throw away the perfume bottle. When you finish the fragrance, you simply refill the bottle at By Killian counters), this fragrance is perfectly infused with Florentine iris, orange blossoms, Bulgarian roses, Pink pepper berries, musk, and freesia. The result? A crisp and inviting scent that is unlike any other out there. Available at www.bykilian.com and at select stores nationwide.
Michael Kors’ Very Hollywood Must-Haves Set ($65)
Just in time for Valentine’s Day, bring your honey a bit of Hollywood glam and style with this fabulous gift set. The fragrance is the focus point here, and wow factor abounds. From the vintage glam inspired bottle to the sparkling mandarin, gardenia, and vetiver fragrance, this is THE gift for the glam siren in your life. What will she get? A 1.7 oz Very Hollywood Eau de Parfum spray and a mini roller ball with charms to take anywhere with her. What will you get? I can only imagine….
