With Valentines Day getting ever closer, for the singletons looking for love it can be a bit of a morale crusher. Date after date, pleasantry after pleasantry, it’s easy to get into that dating life funk where you’re dreading being asked your favourite colour for the 100th time. Don’t worry, we’ve all been there and sometimes it’s just about adding a little more zest to keep us all in high spirits as the (seemingly never ending) search continues.
My first step is always to shop – new shoes, new hair and most importantly new scent! Never underestimate the power of that new perfume feel; it can turn a night of chowing down the left over xmas choccies into going out with that promising new beau. Much like a fairy-godmother, the right perfume can quite literally save lifes… well, dating lives. The key is finding a smell that is both alluring and mysterious and leaves that one special person clinging onto that goodbye hug for a little bit longer.
If you’re in need of some new year, new boo inspiration, the best cure is always a new smell.
When it comes to selecting that perfect scent to get us in the mood for romance, it’s all about selecting those notes that will linger and intesnify over time. Our personal fave at the moment is Flowerbomb perfume by Viktor & Rolf. This floral burst of sunshine is best served in Eau de Parfum form, meaning a few spritzes here and there will last the entire night and even evolve over time, so you’ll keep falling in love over and over again.
Even if your dream person is a few weird dates away, getting over those January blues is always easier with some self-care remedies at hand. Having that relaxing shower sing-a-long, putting on that brand new outfit you got over the holidays that looks way better on than expected, spraying that new smell that screams ‘2023 here I come’ and taking yourself on a lovely datenight is a great way to keep your confidence burning. However you decide to spend Valentines Day, don’t forget to treat yourself, and others, by smelling your best; sometimes the best things come in tiny bottles!
