Romantic Fragrances

Perfume houses often refer to certain fragrances as romantic, but what exactly makes a scent romantic? Well, it all comes down to the notes in the fragrance. Certain romantic scents fire up olfactory triggers in our brains, evoking feelings of love and desire. This in turn increases blood flow and circulation – which lowers our inhibitions, reduces stress, and gives us a feeling of renewed vitality.

For instance, the fragrance industry often uses floral scents to create soft, feminine fragrances that highlight a woman’s innocent, subtle sensuality. You’ll find floral notes such as rose and jasmine in almost all popular romantic scents. Sometimes lavender for a more calming, earthy effect. Oriental or amber notes are also common in romantic perfumes. These are usually paired with notes of sandalwood, musk, or vanilla. As well as smelling luxurious and sensual, these deeper notes, such as vanilla, are also considered aphrodisiacs and offer a very warming and comforting scent that can go a long way towards creating a romantic mood for any evening.

If you want your significant other to smell and feel like they are the center of your universe, you’re in luck – we have the answer. Here are a few of our favorite romantic fragrances that might just do the trick.

When it comes to romantic settings, we absolutely adore YSL’s Black Opium perfume. This luxurious scent features notes of blood-pumping coffee and warm vanilla to create the ideal setting for intimate date nights. Le Labo’s Santal 33 also makes a strong case, with its intoxicating musky sandalwood – perfect for anything from the movies to a candlelit dinner. For a similar scent, try Versace’s Crystal Noir. With familiar notes of sandalwood, amber, and musk, the fragrance encapsulates sensuality like none other. We’ll close this out with something a little more traditional but no less desirable – Gucci’s Bloom. Spring, Valentine’s Day, and the perfect romantic gift all rolled into one, this floral extravaganza from the world’s most celebrated Italian fashion house is a definite staple in any woman’s fragrance collection, and a natural choice for any occasion that calls for romance.
