When it comes to sexy scents for Valentine’s Day, whether you’re single or boo’d up, Cherry says that scents should be worn for yourself first. “When I wear fragrance to a date, I’m not really hoping for it to have a direct effect on the person I’m seeing,” she says. “I’m hoping that it would make me feel more comfortable and confident in my own skin. Those are the qualities that make someone attractive.”
Putting self-love as a priority is just one way of indulging yourself this V-Day, but don’t stop there. “Fragrance is a convenient and powerful tool to celebrate yourself, your senses and your own pleasure, with or without company,” Cherry explains on how to celebrate. “Wear a voluptuous scent, dress up and take yourself out to dinner. Or, if you’re staying in, sprinkle a little perfume in your hair and pillow, slip into silk lingerie and read in bed.”

Remember that even the smallest acts of self-care can elevate your mood and make you feel special and fragrance especially has a way of tantalising the senses. “Most other beauty rituals are only skin deep,” Cherry adds. “But when you inhale a scent, it enters your body and lingers in your mind.”
