Five fragrance buys top of our wish list this Valentine’s Day

Valentine’s Day will be different this year, in exchange for dinner and drinks with our other half we may just be snuggling up on the couch with a bottle of bubbly and Netflix.

That doesn’t mean that we wouldn’t be thrilled to receive a gift on the most loved-up day of the year.

We have made a wish list of what we would love to receive, and these five fragrances are sitting right at the top of it.

Jo Malone London perfumes are available as either Cologne or Cologne Intense, the former in clear glass flacons, the latter in black.

The Intense offerings are bigger and bolder scents often with inspiration from far-flung locations, while the Colognes tend to have note pairings a lot closer to home in the UK.

This new Scarlet Poppy is a big, ravishing floral inspired by the great scarlet poppy from Asia. Velvety iris, sweet fig, and Tonka bean make for a very decadent but feminine scent. Brown Thomas.
