One of the signature gift ideas for Valentine’s Day has always been a new fragrance. Whether it’s for your husband or boyfriend, or your wife or girlfriend, new perfumes and colognes seem to rank high on the gift giving list.
Is it because these tend to be things we don’t normally treat ourselves to? Is it because we see them as personal and intimate gifts that aren’t too intimate? Or do we simply want out partners to smell good, and we choose fragrances and scents that we like for them?
Whatever the reason, we love a good perfume or fragrance for just about any gift giving reason. We like to give them, as well as receive them., And we’re not afraid to buy them for ourselves and our loved ones. We’ve rounded up some of our favorite scents for her, scents for him, and scents for fun. These are great for Valentine’s Day and beyond.
