Scents for Valentine's Day

Valentine's Day is two questions at once: what to wear, and what to give. For both, the answer is a scent that feels personal and warm rather than obvious, one that rewards being close.

To wear

Soft florals, creamy vanillas, warm musks. Spray on the neck and the chest, where an embrace will find it, rather than on the wrists.

To give

Giving perfume is a guess at someone's skin. A set of three decants takes the guess away: they choose their favourite, and you learn their taste for next time.
