When it comes to Valentine’s Day gifts, sometimes the classics are the best. Call us old-fashioned but us beauty ladies would be chuffed with a nice box of chocolates, beautiful bouquet of flowers and gorgeous new perfume. And there are plenty of fresh new scents to choose from to set the mood. Whether you prefer something sweet and feminine or rich and sensuous.

Burberry Brit Rhythm
Burberry’s first foray into women’s fragrances, Brit Rhythm is inspired by the adrenaline of live music performances. British lavender, orange blossom and vetiver combine to make a smoky, sensual scent that’s feminine with a rock and roll edge.
Mary Greenwell Cherry
Sweet and sparkling Cherry is the most playful of Mary Greenwell’s fragrance quartet. With cherry and blackberry top notes, a floral jasmine heart and a base including vanilla and tonka beans, Cherry is fresh and feminine without being syrupy – ideal for desk to drinks. Available exclusively at Harrods.
DKNY Be Delicious City Blossom Rooftop Peony
DKNY have reinvented their iconic apple once again with three brand new city blossom scents, inspired by urban rooftop gardens. Rooftop Peony is a flirty blend of fruits and florals, including citrus, rose, peony and raspberry.
Elie Saab Le Parfum L’Eau Couture
For those who dream about wearing Elie Saab’s couture gowns, this perfume could be the next best thing. Designed to complement the ethereal Spring 2014 collection, L’Eau Couture combines fresh notes of almond, honey, orange blossom and vanilla to make you feel like you’re waltzing around in elegant couture (even if you’re battling the elements in your parka). Available at John Lewis on February 10th
Guerlain Cherry Blossom
In Japan, cherry blossoms symbolise spring, beauty and the joy of love. So to celebrate Valentine’s Day, Guerlain have re-released their 1999 Cherry Blossom perfume – a delicate, fresh scent inspired the season. If the cherry, lilac and jasmine notes don’t lift your spirits, the iconic and beautiful Guerlain Bee bottle definitely will. Available exclusively at Harrods.
