So come tomorrow, you’re probably looking to pull out all the stops
in the glamour stakes. But for a truly seductive perfume that will stop
your date in his tracks – it needs to be French, no two ways about it.
Here are two scents that make us feel like Josephine Baker in an instant.
Love Story by Chloe
Without wanting to sound trite, this new offering from the dreamy
Parisian fashion house seems to echo the dizziness of falling stupidly
in love with someone. It envelops you in a cloud of pretty orange
blossom and jasmine (jasmine is famed for its ability to deliver sex
appeal to a perfume). A warm base of cedarwood gives it depth and
staying power, the bottle looks beautiful on a dressing table too.
£39.45 Fabled
Rose Pompon by Annick Goutal
This truly ups the ante in terms of sex appeal. Designed to capture ‘the
first flush of love’ it’s got intoxicating notes of Bulgarian and Taif
roses, while the addition of raspberry and blackcurrent notes add a
certain sharp sweetness without overpowering everything. Plus the
vintage-style bottle is pure old school glam. If someone gave us a
bottle of this for Valentine’s Day, we’d instantly swoon… £52.50 Escentual
