His & Her Fragrances For Valentine’s Day

Personal fragrances make for great Valentine’s Day gifts, so why not opt for scents that complement one another? Buy your best guy a cologne that pairs well with your perfume, or vice versa. There are lots of high-end brands to choose from where his and her fragrances balance each other out. Here are three (well, six) sweet-smelling options. —Jennifer Cox

The Michel Germain Sexual Noir (for women, $129) and Sexual Paris (for men, $125) three-piece gift collections are the perfect sets if you love layering your scents. The women’s perfume is a mix of succulent mandarin and sweet strawberries, plus mysterious patchouli, exotic pink orchid, and deceptively innocent pink sweet flower. The men’s cologne is a smoky cardamom mixed with French Champagne mandarin blends and European patchouli for a warm, sophisticated sandalwood and amber aroma, creating an intoxicating accord mixed with Parisian natural oils. They smell divine individually and even better when you’re together.

Tom Ford’s Rose Prick ($375) and Neroli Portofino ($270) are two scents that go hand in hand. The former is inspired by Tom Ford’s own garden and features a wild bouquet of rose breeds including Bulgarian rose and rose de mai, with accents of fiery pepper and spice, while the latter has a scent that perfectly captures the cool breezes, sparkling clear water, and lush foliage of the Italian Rivera. Together, they’re a symphony of complementary smells.

Tiffany & Love Eau de Parfum for Her ($165) and for Him ($120) is a true tribute to modern love. The vibrant, woody notes of blue sequoia unify the two scents, much like love brings two people together. They were created by renowned perfumers Honorine Blanc and Marie Salamagne and each have a lovely floral, woody scent. You can even personalize the bottles with custom engraving to make it the perfect gift.
