How to Choose a Date-Night Fragrance

A memorable date night is all about the details: the perfect little table in the corner, strategically candlelit; the food you shared; the way she smiled; the playlist he curated. The right fragrance amplifies all of this, heightening the experience to become something unforgettable.

There are two parts to choosing the perfect fragrance for a date night: the scent you wear and the one you surround yourself with. They’re best approached holistically, creating a consistent and immersive experience for a lasting impression. 

As always, your choice of scent starts with the mood you’re trying to create and the memories you hope to make. No matter where your night of passion takes you, these fragrance combinations are a match made in heaven.  

For a fun and flirty time

Wear: A spritz of Neon Moon Eau de Parfum instantly sets the mood with a fresh and invigorating energy, as the bright and luscious scent of apricot is complemented by the subtle spiciness of pink pepper and the green freshness of violet leaves. By the time cocktails have arrived, it will have settled into a warm and slightly smoky scent, rich with the creamy sweetness of white amber. 

Burn: A candle inspired by your pre-dinner drink, Tonic of Gin never fails to get the good times rolling with the distinct note of juniper berries wrapped in orange blossom and jasmine.

For a sophisticated dîner à deux

Wear: As you roll on Persian Rose Perfume Oil, you’ll notice how the delicate familiarity of the Rosa Damascena is enlivened by zesty bergamot, mandarin and sweet orange. But this is no whirlwind romance: as the fragrance settles, a rich base of musk, patchouli and amber grounds it into something far more enduring. Don’t forget to tuck the vial into your purse for strategic touch-ups later.

Burn: Commit to the floral theme and light up La Primavera Candle. This romantic tribute to the flower festivals of Italy offers a polished slant on florals, with a bewitching bouquet of white blossoms set against the timeless allure of patchouli and cashmere musk.

For when you’re out to impress

Wear and burn: If ever there was a case for fragrance-drenching – or using the same scent across all touchpoints – it’s Cuban Tobacco. Timeless, well-rounded and unbearably sexy, the Eau de Parfum makes an arresting impression with the sweet smokiness of cloves coiled around the fresh and slightly bitter scent of tangerine. Then in the dry-down, the beautifully nuanced tobacco leaves a rich and smooth trail. Pull out all the stops by burning the matching Candle and finish with a love note hand-penned on a scented sheet from your Cuban Tobacco notebook.
