Valentine's Day Fragrances and Activities

KatieBT — Tue, 30 Jan 2018 23:19:39 GMT

Hey BIC!

Valentine’s Day is coming up in two short weeks! Whether you are going to spend the day with your besties, your significant other or with number one we want to know your ideas for what makes a great Valentine’s Day! We know that many are struggling to figure out what to gift and may also be stressing over planning a date idea.

This community is always full of great ideas so I wanted to open up two questions to you to see if we can help the greater Sephora community out:

What specific fragrance(s) would you love to receive as a gift (Sephora brands please!)
What’s a fun plan for Valentine’s Day with or without a plus one? Please share suggestions for romantic date tips, a night of self-care, etc. 🙂

Can’t wait to read your responses and hopefully fall in love with new fragrances!

I ordered this NEST set for my mom for Christmas, and I loved it so much, I went back to the store (at Christmas😱) to buy a second for myself! Both scents are so unique and the artwork is beautiful.

1. Jo Malone Wood Sage & Sea Salt! That fragrance is everything!

1. Well, then I'd like something Etat Libre d'Orange, before it's completely gone from Sephora. ( Jasmine et Cigarette might be the next one I need. )

Or! Jo Malone Dark Amber and Ginger Lily.

2. The two of us like going to concerts, mini trips/weekend getaways, or just stay in and relax. This time "stay in and relax" sounds perfect!

1. Tom Ford Vanille Fatale, although I'm not sure that Sephora will get it.

2. I almost always prefer a night in, especially on holidays.

1. I would love to receive a bottle of Carolina Herrera Good Girl as a gift for Valentine’s Day!

2. My BF and I will be going out to a movie and dinner. We both like facial masking as a way to unwind, so that is an idea for self care and relaxation at home.

The fragrance Sci Fi is so sexy, and not overwhelming highly suggest. Got a sample and now I’m lusting it.

All who can eat Lobster should do so on Valentines followed by espresso and chocolate. Cheese and wine are great if it’s available, but Lobster, a bib and hammer on valentines is one of my fondest memories. Of course I usually wear a sexy red dress but once you start beating that red lobster with a hammer the games begin.

1. Escada's Cherry In The Air - I mean, even the description is perfectly suited for the occasion, amiright?

"This elegant fragrance conjures the experience of riding a bicycle through the French countryside. The warm air and sweet fragrance of cherry orchards overwhelm with happiness like the breathtaking feeling of falling in love. Discover the sweet scent of summer again and again with Cherry in the Air. "

2. You know the best part about Valentine's @KatieBT? Half-priced candy on Feb 15th

We'll be celebrating the following weekend, bike riding through Venice, grabbing lunch at the pier and people watching the eccentrics!

1) Jo Malone London Red Roses Calogne

2) Take out sushi! Or some other meal that neither of us has to cook or clean up after.

Ohhhh - what a fun thread, @KatieBT! I love Valentine's Day! ❤️

1. What specific fragrance(s) would you love to receive as a gift (Sephora brands please!)

I actually just asked my hubby for Carolina Hererra Good Girl for Valentine's Day! Not only is the bottle adorable, but it smells fantastic, too! ❤️

2. What’s a fun plan for Valentine’s Day with or without a plus one? Please share suggestions for romantic date tips, a night of self-care, etc.

I plan to celebrate Valentine's Day four times this year! I have a lunch date with my besties on the 14th, dinner with my hubby that night, a girl's day with my daughter Saturday and a Post-Valentine's Day dinner party at a friend's house the next weekend. I'm looking forward to all of it and plan to wear my Fenty Stunna Lip Paint plus red nails to each event! ❤️

@ZombieMetroAnt Ohhhhh - I've always wanted to try Cherry in the Air - I love Escada fragrances! And yes to half price chocolate on the 15th!!! ❤️

OMG - You read my mind! I literally sent my hubby a link to that perfume last night, @angel7594!!! ❤️

That sounds like a phenomenal itinerary, @Tamara76!

@Tamara76 ❤️❤️

I love that fragrance, and cheers to this Valentine wish coming true for both of us!!

Ooh, great questions @KatieBT!

For Sephora perfumes, Jo Malone Red Roses is an excellent suggestion for a very classic idea of a romantic perfume for Valentine's Day. But I'd also think of something more pronounced and rich like Tom Ford Cafe Rose or Tuscan Leather.

Perhaps i have simpler tastes, but I don't think you can beat a spa night for yourself at home, or an outstanding dinner with another. Both should involve an evening by the fireplace 🙂

1. I have been very much into the Ellis Brooklyn fragrances. I love that they are phthalate free. I treated myself to Sci-Fi during the Rouge sale and have been loving it.

2. Honestly, a night in would be ideal for me. Watching a movie, eating good food, a glass of wine, etc. Oh, and a massage would be nice too.

Another one for Red Roses!!

For me, V&R Bonbon would be a fun but sultry Valentine's day scent. I love that it's a grown up version of the sugary fragrances that I never wore as a teenager/young adult since most sugary scents are just simply too sickly sweet.

I prefer to cook dinner at home with DH for Valentine's. Rather than paying outrageous prices for a Valentine's dinner where you're basically rushed through for the next seating (unless you book the 9 PM seating), I'd rather go all out on top notch ingredients and cook at home (how about a juicy AAA rib-eye, or duck breast?) and sit back with a nice bottle of wine. I don't remember the last time I was in a restaurant for Valentine's...probably when I was working in one as a student (you bet it was good money!)

Edit: just looked at the calendar...looks like this year I'm going to be at the gym for Valentine's because I have a weekly class on Wednesday! Ha!

Happy Valentine’s everybody❤️❤️❤️

For me the perfect Valentine’s fragrance gift would be the new Chanel Gabrielle perfume. It smells amazing and Chanel fragrances are so classy and timeless in my opinion.

We usually don’t do anything special on Valentines- too many people in the restaurants or movie theaters. I probably cook hubby’s favorite food and then we will watch some movie. And it will be first Valentine with our little one so I will get him big heart shaped baloon😍

Words of wisdom: DO NOT get married week after Valentines!!! I made that mistake and now I just get one present for both - I screwed myself for life😂😂

Awww - I hope hubby surprises you this year, @katkapivarci! You deserve a Valentine's Day gift AND an Anniversary gift! ❤️ ❤️ ❤️
