Looking for the PERFECT Fragrance for Valentine’s Day? We Have the Ultimate List Depending on Your *Vibe*

Whether it’s a romantic rendezvous or a Galentine’s Day extravaganza – or it’s the *perfect* night to hunker down with some self-care – we have the perfect scent to truly set the mood!

Scent plays a huge part in making a vibe truly incredible and Valentine’s Day is no different – so we asked our pals at Mecca for their top picks for the perfect fragrances for this year’s day of love, no matter what your mood!

I’m feeling: Fun and Flirty!

Go for Floral Street Wonderland Peony EDP – This sophisticated, fruity floral is made for the delicate, dreamy, radiant and thoughtful. Featuring a hero blend of peonies, this scent is sure to turn heads with the juxtaposition of cedarwood for a woody-balsamic warmth. A 20% oil concentration also means a super long-lasting scent.

I’m feeling: Serious and Sensual

It’s all about Byredo Eyes Closed EDP –  Eyes closed, falling into each other — this is an olfactory experience that emotes connection. It configures a world where love eclipses all difference and division. Intangible, yet steadfast. The unexpected coupling of patchouli and papyrus enters into delicious collusion with orris butter, ginger and carrot. Candied spices of cinnamon and cardamom invoke infinite warmth and tenderness, the soothing balm of a kindred spirit.

I’m Head over Heels and Happy!

Try Ellis Brooklyn Sun Fruit Eau de Parfum – A reinvention of the fruity floral, Sweet Sun Fruit features a creamy and unexpected blend of fresh fig, bergamot, handpicked jasmine, cyclamen and vanilla. Addictive and aspirational, it’s the kind of scent that inspires vacation day dreams.

I’m feeling: Fresh New Love

Maison Francis Kurkdjian 724 EDP is perfect – The concoction features bergamot from Calabria, a crystalline white flower accord, sensual musks, and aims to capture what all megalopolises have in common: that vibrant energy resonating in unison like a 724-beats-per-minute pulsation. It’s a creation design to uplift and match the beat of your day.

I’m feeling Light and Easy and Free!

Go for Replica Lazy Sunday Morning EDT – Inspired by the pure joy of waking up in freshly washed, crumpled sheets with the sun on your skin. This fragrance incorporates delicate notes of lily of the valley and iris with fresh pear and orange flower.  The result is a clean, fresh and comforting scent.
