Yes, it’s pricey, but honestly, the staying power makes it feel worth it. I can still smell it on my clothes a week later (even after they’ve been washed), which is kind of wild. With notes of jasmine, sweet saffron, warm amberwood, and woody cedar, it’s smooth, addictive, and lingers on the skin all day. Plus, the cute bottle with that luxe gold lid looks so good on your bathroom shelf.

Parfums de Marly Delina Exclusif
Why I love it: One for luxury perfume lovers, the Delina Exclusif by Parfums de Marly is an unapologetically feminine scent. Our verdict is simple: it fully deserves all the hype that it gets on #PerfumeTok. Delina Exclusif is my most complimented fragrance that perfectly captures my aesthetic. It has a fresh floral opening but settles into a stunning musky veil with a touch of vanilla, making it versatile enough to wear on any occasion. It’s super long-lasting too.
- Best for: Galentine’s date night or day out with your girls
- Size(s): 30ml or 75ml
- Notes: Pear, lychee, grapefruit, damascena rose, vanilla & musk

Diptyque Orphéon Eau de Parfum
Why I love it: If a city break is on the cards this Valentine’s Day, especially somewhere like Paris, this is the scent I’d pack without thinking twice. Orphéon is inspired by a Parisian jazz club in the early 1960s and it really captures that after-dark energy. It’s a woody floral at heart, lifted with bright juniper and softened by tonka bean and cedar with hints of tobacco smoke that give it the perfect late-night edge.
