His and Hers Perfumes for you and your Valentine

Stun together this Valentine’s Day with his and hers perfumes. Sure, you can wear the same unisex bottle. But a pair of fragrances made for him and her is just right to highlight your similarities that brought you together, and differences that make your pairing interesting. Worn together, you present a united front. Worn apart, it’s a secret message between a couple, of being together even when apart. 

Here are 5 of the many romantic His & Hers perfumes you can gift this Valentine’s Day:

The Gourmand Lovers 

Dolce&Gabbana Devotion

For: Her

Key notes: Vanilla, Panacotta, Candied Lemon, Orange Blossom, Rum 

Fragrance family: Gourmand

Show your devotion to your loved one with a sweet perfume. It brings the fresh citrusy feeling without the cleaning product sharpness and sterility that is often disliked about lemon notes. It’s the panacotta and vanilla notes that make the lemon delicious with soft and creamy touches. The booziness is quite toned down, at least on my skin. 

It’s quite linear and long lasting– I could smell it on myself until the next day. P.S. There’s the prettiest heart shaped bottle of this perfume. The only drawback: it’s a 20ml bottle. 

Dolce&Gabbana Devotion Pour Homme

For: Him

Key notes: Lemon, Coffee, Patchouli

Fragrance family: Gourmand

D&G take the coffee in the panacotta of Devotion and amp it up for the men’s counterpart. The lemon disappears in a jiffy, leaving us with a dry and bitter note of roasted coffee. It’s grounded in an earthy patchouli that adds to the richness of the coffee. It isn’t everyone’s favorite, not as safe a purchase as Devotion, but it is a rarer scent profile. As rare as true love?

It’s just as long lasting as Devotion, with a deep, dark, masculine profile. There’s no heart shaped bottle for men, unfortunately. Come on, Dolce&Gabbana. Men deserve a fun bottle too.

The Scandalous Couple

Jean Paul Gaultier Scandal 

For: Her

Key notes: Honey, Beeswax, Patchouli, Caramel, White Florals 

Fragrance family: Chypre Floral

One of the loveliest honey perfumes you can give a woman as sweet as honey. Blood orange, peach, and mandarin bring juicy sweetness. Licorice is a surprise with some spice. Caramel brings a rich sweetness in the drydown. Overall a very pretty and feminine perfume.

It lasts around 8 hours and if you want to extend its longevity further, JPG has a lotion infused with the same fragrance. The bottle is polarizing. Some find it gaudy, others find it fun. It can either be something she displays proudly on her counter or hides away in a cupboard. But the scent is mass-appealing without being basic. 

Jean Paul Gaultier Scandal Pour Homme 

For: Him

Key notes: Caramel, Tonka Bean, Clary Sage, Mandarin, Vetiver 

Fragrance family: Aromatic Gourmand

We open with the same fruity bright sweetness of mandarin. It’s accompanied by a fresh, herbaceous scent this time. The caramel is more dominant here than in Scandal. The tonka bean brings out caramel’s sweetness, turning it more creamy. The vetiver creates a mild woodiness in the drydown. 

It projects incredibly well, making the air remember your presence after you’ve left. Something to keep for date nights, I’d say. Like Scandal, but fruitier? Try the new Scandal fruity flankers.

The Eternal Pair 

Calvin Klein Eternity

For: Her

Key notes: Green Notes, Carnation, Lily-of-the-Valley, Violet, Rose, Musk, Sandalwood

Fragrance family: Fresh Floral

Convey your eternal love with a bouquet of fresh florals and a bottle of fresh florals. Eternity is there to remind your partner of you when you’re apart. Perfect for work and any season. It’s a classic women’s fragrance and that it’s been in production since the 80s is proof of its eternal relevance.

Calvin Klein Eternity for Men

For: Him

Key notes: Lavender, Lemon, Sage, Sandalwood, Lily-of-the-Valley

Fragrance family: Aromatic Fougère

Eternal love takes an aromatic turn in the men’s fragrance. Green, airy, and citrusy, it’s a representation of the bright, joyful aspects of love. This summer-spring perfume is dependable, something you can wear for years and make your signature scent. A perfume that will suit you everyday, function so well it becomes an invisible yet integral part of you. 

It lasts about 5-6 hours. You might find yourself reapplying mid-day if you like to freshen up with fragrance. 

The Golden Pair 

Amouage Gold Woman

For: Her

Key notes: Lily-of-the-Valley, Rose, Civet, Myrrh, Incense, Orris, Sandalwood

Fragrance family: Aldehydic Floral

Gold is a timeless gift. While gold jewelry is for the eyes, Amouage Gold pleases the sense of smell. Looks amazing on her dresser too. Gold Woman offers a timeless opulence of florals. Opening with an intriguing fizziness, it develops into a rich myrrh-incense profile, ultimately drying down to smell like a luxury make-up bag. The animalic undertones are something we don’t see much of in modern perfumes, a rare perfume for a woman with a classic taste. 

Amouage Gold Man

For: Him

Key notes: Civet, Lily-of-the-Valley, Musk, Jasmine, Rosehip, Incense, Myrrh

Fragrance family: Woody Floral Musk

For a man worth his weight in gold, self-assured and unafraid to explore his feminine side, a lily-of-the-valley perfume. It’s a unique blend of musky, floral, animalic, and ambery notes. It’s rare to find powdery notes in men’s fragrances, making Gold Man a golden opportunity for your man to have a scented adventure. 

The Power Couple 

Emporio Armani Because It’s You 

For: Her

Key notes: Raspberry, Vanilla, Rose, Neroli, Amberwood

Fragrance family: Fruity Floral

You love her simply because it’s her. Show it with the fruity floral with a vanilla as soft as her heart. It’s bright as your days with her, deep as your love for each other, and long-lasting as your affections. It’s the perfume fit to wear all days and most seasons. Both sophisticated and youthful, it’s the right fragrance for confident younger women. 

Emporio Armani Stronger With You

For: Him

Key notes: Vanilla, Marron Glacé, Violet Leaf, Sage, Cardamom

Fragrance family: Aromatic Gourmand

These aromatic and sweet gourmand notes become more powerful put together. Just like you and your valentine. It’s a sweet and deep fragrance with a warm smoky edge. The Marron Glacé offers an alluring nutty profile. Along with the cardamom, Stronger With You creates an air of sophistication. A man who is well put together.
