10 Incredibly Sensual Valentines Day Fragrances
Choosing a fragrance for Valentine’s Day is not easy. Your choice of
scent depends on many things. To be honest, picking a sensual fragrance is
challenging.
When choosing sensual fragrances to wear this Valentine’s
day date night, you may want to note some of these handy
fragrance-buying tips.
Don’t Rush Your Buying Decision
Whether you are a new or experienced fragrance buyer, you should never
rush your decision. The fragrance choices for Valentine’s Day are extensive.
When you shop for a new scent for this special occasion, there are a few things
you should bear in mind.
First of all, unless the guy sitting next to you in
the office is your Valentine, you are likely going to wear your new fragrance
in the evening.
When you are planning on wearing your fragrance on date night, it is a
good idea to choose a more sensual scent. It needs to be more fully
loaded.
Most ladies have an excellent choice of daytime fragrances on their
dressing tables. However, very few ladies invest in scents for wearing on
nights out.
Take your time and find a scent that resonates with you. When you choose
a fragrance in this way, you will wear your perfume more often. Never buy a
scent just because your bestie likes it.
In other words, buy a scent which works for you.
Top Sensual Fragrances for Valentine’s Day
I am going to put my hands up and say that I am a bit of a perfume and

is my list of top 10 sensual scents:

Small Vs Large Perfume Bottle
Should I buy a large or small bottle of perfume? Once again, this is
very much a personal choice.
Instead of giving you a definitive answer, I am going to give you some
pros and cons.
Buying a Large Bottle of Perfume
If you know that you have a favourite fragrance, there is no reason why
you should not buy a large bottle.
Buying a larger bottle of your favourite fragrance means it is always
there when you need it. You are less likely to run out when you buy a larger
bottle.
Buying a larger bottle often works out more cost-effective. I see it as
an investment.
Is my large bottle of perfume going to spoil? Providing you keep or
store your perfume in the right way, it is not going to spoil. We are going to
talk more about how to look after your fragrance collection on another
page.
A large bottle also looks better. It makes what I call an impact
statement. Some fragrance bottles are beautiful and almost become part of the
decor.
Buying a Smaller Bottle of Scent
Yes, I do buy smaller bottles. For instance, a 50ml bottle or even a
30ml bottle is easy to slip into your handbag or tote bag.
But, that is not the primary reason I buy
perfume in smaller bottles. I love what I call an all-around scent experience.
Yes, it is okay to buy a bottle of perfume, but sometimes you want the scent
experience to last longer.
In particular, this is true when buying
sensual fragrances for special occasions such as Valentine’s Day.
Let’s use Carolina
Herrera Good Girl range as an example. It is one of my
favourite date night scents.
To turn this scent into a real sensual scent experience, I would buy a
smaller bottle of fragrance and a shower gel. Before you step out of the
shower, add a small amount of shower gel to your regular hair conditioner.
Distribute it through your hair before rinsing a few minutes later.
That way, your fragrance lingers for longer.
Of course, you can also add a body lotion if one is available.
A smaller bottle is great for topping up your scent during your night
out.
Where Should I Spray My Scent?
Where should I spray my scent to last longer? That is a good question. I
am so surprised that more ladies don’t ask this.
When I worked on a cosmetic and perfume counter in Harrods, I noticed
that many ladies spray or apply their fragrances in the wrong places.
For instance, spraying your perfume on your neck is not a good choice. First of all, it is going to cause your skin to dry out. It
may even cause skin irritations.
Best Places to Spray Perfume
One of the best places to spray your perfume is on your hair. If you use
hair spray, spray it on after you have applied your hair spray.
Why on the hair? When you spray perfume on your hair, it last longer.
You will also smell it more intensely. As you move your head or shake your
hair, the scent wafts around.
Should I spray my perfume on my wrist? Yes, you should. The bottom of
your wrist is warmer than the top. This little bit of extra warmth stimulates
the scent molecules. It is a great way of applying perfume, but perhaps less
good for a spray eau de
toilette.
If you want to add an extra touch of scent, you should put some perfume behind
your ear. Yes, you read that right.
This is another part of the body that warms up. Don’t spray it on
directly. Instead, spray the perfume on cotton wool and dab it onto the back of
the ear or on your hair in this area.
He is bound to pick this up if you are lucky enough to end up getting
close and personal on any date night.
Now, I think I have talked enough. Let’s take a look
at the top 10 sensual fragrances.
Top 10 Sensual Fragrances For Valentine’s Day
Date Night
1 Carolina Herrera Good Girl
This is one of my favourite fragrances for any date night.
There is no doubt about it - there is something sultry about this scent.
From the first to the last drop, it has you thinking about warm exotic nights
on a beach somewhere or sipping cocktails.
The top notes are spicy. When you let the scent linger, you also pick
jasmine and tuberose rose. Almond together with a touch of tonka bean and cocoa
provide the perfect light sweet backdrop to the spice of this fragrance.
Carolina
Herrera Good Girl is a great date night scent. It is great for
Valentine’s Day and other special occasions as well.
2 Carolina Herrera Good Girl Supreme
Carolina Herrera offers an excellent range of scents. Good Girl Supreme
is one of the more exciting offerings from the brand. If you collect perfumes,
Supreme is a must-have.
What can you expect from Good
Girl Supreme? This is more exotic than other scents from Carolina Herrera. Egyptian
Jasmine will delight you. Eventually, the smell of jasmine gives away to tonka
bean. A touch of vetiver finally tickles your senses. This is the perfect scent
for a date with your Valentine. Very Good Girl is another scent perfect for a
special date night.
3 Dior Pure Poison
When it comes to the Dior Pure
Poison range, I only have one thing to say. This is a scent that is naughty but
nice.
For many ladies, it has become a bit of a staple as far as date night is
concerned. The scent is packed with musky notes and touches of amber. It is
rich and alluring thanks to sandalwood and gardenia. A touch of mandarin and
sweet orange provides the finish.
Choices for Dior lovers include Girl
Unexpected and Dior Poison Girl.
4 Givenchy Angie Ou Demon
What does Givenchy Angie Ou Demon smell like? I have
to be honest, I think that this is an undervalued
perfume as far as evening wear goes.
Givenchy
Angie Ou Demon is packed with both
lighter and darker notes. It is the sort of fragrance that makes people ask
what perfume you are wearing.
Natural lemon is a rich scent. Givenchy has managed to capture that
richness perfectly in Angie Ou Demon. You also pick
up on green tea freshness and a touch of cranberry as base notes. It is perhaps
more delicate than other scents but is a real fragrance sensation for evening
wear.
Angie Ou Demon also works as a daytime scent
on the school run or in the office.
5 Dolce & Gabbana The Only One
The Only One is very much a
full-bodied perfume. If you are out and about, it is going to stand the test of
time.
It is an intense fragrance with a distinctive oriental backdrop. At the
same time, it has lighter notes of something which are hard to put your finger
on. Top notes include red berries and dark velvety rose. It is seductive and
vibrant at the same time - the very essence of a perfume for a night out. Of
course, the name says it all.
This Valentine’s Day is the perfect opportunity to try many of the
exciting fragrances from Dolce&Gabbana.
6 Armani My Way Intense
Armani My
Way has a very distinct signature. It is a bit like walking down a wooded
trail with exotic flowers along the path. It opens up
with intense notes before gently giving away to orange blossom and the gentle
delight of tuberose. The finish is soft and a bit velvety.
Should you happen to be a man reading this, I thought I would let you
know she will love you for buying this.
7 Valentino Donna Born in Roma
If you are looking for a high-end perfume Valentino’s fragrance is the
one.
Just like Rome, Donna
Born in Roma is a bit spicy. It opens up with Pink
Pepper and Bergamot before giving way to various nuances of jasmine. Combined
with a vanilla and cashmere softness, it is one of the sexiest and most vibrant
scents that you can buy.
The scent was created
by Michel
Girard who has also worked with Gucci and Givenchy.
8 Yves Saint Laurent Black Opium
Have you ever warmed up vanilla? If you have, you will instantly
recognise the opening statement Black Opium makes. Add a splash of freshly
ground coffee and a touch of patchouli, and you have a very
unique scent combination.
The best way to describe Black
Opium is as seductive. Many ladies also like to describe it as bewitching.
9 Carolina Herrera Heroes 212
Carolina Herrera Heroes 212 makes it to this list. It is a scent with
many varied notes including sandalwood and bergamot. Both are essential tones
when it comes to any Valentine’s Day or date night perfume. Heroes 212 is one
of the more exciting perfumes launched in 2022.
At the same time, it has a fruitiness that is much appreciated when it
comes to general wear. It is one of those scents that is perfect for both
evening and daytime dates. Maybe he is planning to take you out for a longer
date time date this Valentine’s Day. If so, this is a good choice.
Look out for special edition Carolina
Herrera Heroes 212 spray collection sets. Buying a set is excellent value
for money.
10 Calvin Klein Euphoria
Calvin Klein Euphoria has some seriously seductive top notes including pure Lotus
blossom and Amber. Let the fragrance develop and you also pick up on dark woody
notes along with pomegranate and persimmon.
It sounds complex, but thanks to the addition of a creamy final accord, Euphoria
is a Valentine’s Day fragrance that works well when you are looking
for something different.
Final Thoughts
When you are looking for fragrances that set the
mood for Valentine’s Day, remember that the more exotic and spicy notes are a
better fit.
You may not choose these perfumes for daytime wear,
but when you are going out on date night or that special Valentine’s date, they
are all good choices.
Don’t forget my first bit of buying advice. Buy the
Valentine’s fragrance which is right for you.
