What’s your go-to fragrance for a romantic Valentine’s Day date, and why?
Always something sweet and sensual! I gravitate toward vanilla-gourmand scents because they exude warmth, romance, and that effortlessly sexy vibe. There’s just something about a rich, creamy vanilla note that makes me feel feminine, confident, and completely irresistible. It’s like a cozy hug but with a little bit of mystery—perfect for a dreamy Valentine’s night.
Do you believe certain scents can set the mood for a perfect date night? If so, which ones?
Absolutely! Fragrance has such a powerful way of setting the tone. Soft, warm, and inviting vanilla-based scents instantly create a romantic, intimate atmosphere, while deeper, spicy, and woody notes give off a sultry, bold, and mysterious energy—ideal for a more daring night out. It’s all about the mood you want to embody.
If you could create your own Valentine’s Day-inspired fragrance, what key notes would it include?
I’d create the perfect balance between sweet and seductive. Think creamy vanilla and caramel for that addictive warmth, paired with deeper musk and smoky amber to add complexity and allure. Maybe even a touch of fresh rose or jasmine to give it a soft, romantic elegance. I actually love layering scents like this—it creates such a unique, unforgettable trail!
What’s the most memorable compliment you’ve received while wearing a specific fragrance?
One time, someone told me I smelled like a Starbucks Frappuccino—sweet, creamy, and delicious. And honestly? They weren’t wrong! I take it as a compliment!!
Do you prefer subtle or bold fragrances for special occasions like Valentine’s Day? Why?
I lean toward subtle fragrances, mainly because I layer so many scented body products—lotions, body washes, oils—so I prefer a perfume that enhances rather than overwhelms. I love something I can reapply throughout the night, keeping it fresh yet never overpowering. It’s all about smelling effortlessly delicious.
