A VALENTINE’S Day gift to be enjoyed year-round, perfume (and cologne) makes the perfect present. The areas of the brain that juggle scent, memory and emotion are very much intertwined, a particular scent can leave a memorable impression that lingers for a lifetime.

Archana Deo, of Shepparton Amcal pharmacy has provided her top three recommendations for Valentine’s Day fragrances this year.

Coco Mademoiselle by Chanel is an oriental floral fragrance for women, with notes of citrus, rose and vanilla nestled among other delicate complementary notes. Chanel fragrances are iconic, and Coco Mademoiselle is no exception.

A perfume that needs no introduction, Flowerbomb by Viktor&Rolf is an oriental floral fragrance, famous for its warm and spicy nature which it lends to notes of rose, patchouli and vanilla blended with others.

The now classic Miss Dior by Christian Dior is a chyrpe floral fragrance, with notes of pink pepper, blood orange and palisander rosewood among others. A fragrance to suit all ages, Miss Dior also looks beautiful displayed on a dressing table.
