Romantic Fragrance Gift Ideas For Her This Valentine’s Day!

Here are some more fun Valentine’s Day gift ideas! I have been trying these great scents, and I am loving them.

TOCCA Violette is my new everyday scent, but I also love the sample of Jus d’Amour that I received. They are both soft and floral, very pretty! And any Lavanila scent is so soft and pretty you can wear it all of the time!

If you haven’t tried Fame, it is so sexy and fun…really! Great for date night!

Guess Girl is sweet and flirty and Heidi’s Klum’s new one called Surprise is very bright and sexy.

Tocca Violette Eau de Parfum ($68 USD) — Choose a romantic floral scent like TOCCA’s Eau de Parfum Violette! This sweet yet sultry scent awakens the feeling of Springtime in Paris and the youthful spirit of first love.

Imagine springtime in Paris—the vibrant blooms along the Champs-Elysees awaken the youthful spirit of first love. Violette evokes the whirlwind romance between a young soldier on leave and a beautiful girl at the fragrance counter of Le Bon Marche in 1940s Paris. This fine fragrance is housed in an Italian-made glass bottle and a gold-leafed box, making it a luxurious gift for your love or an indulgent reward for oneself.

Notes:
Italian Bergamot, Ginger Oil, Coriander Seed Oil, African Violet, Bulgarian Rose, Black Currants, Creamy Cedarwood, Cashmere Musk, Touch of Benzoin.

Jus D’Amour 2 Oz Spray ($90.00 USD) — A beautiful, grown-up comfort scent – and really, is there anyone who couldn’t use an extra dose of comfort right about now? Jus d’amour opens with coco palm – sweet, but not cupcake-topping sweet. This is a dark and dusky coco palm, and there is a brief moment when it meets the mysterious and green aqua leaf accord that makes us wonder if we might be headed someplace edgy. Then the most soothing, enveloping woods appear, and it is clear that the place we are headed is the coziest chair in the room, complete with a cashmere throw. We can feel the knots in our neck begin to unwind, as creamy Tahitian vanilla wraps itself around mesmerizing sandalwood. Even the lilting violets and jasmine snuggle into the tranquil blend instead of floating above it. Sophisticated and serene, with a warm, soft sweetness that takes the edge off a stressful day. Just what we needed.

Notes — coco palm, aqua leaf accord, night-blooming jasmine, violet, Tahitian vanilla, sandalwood, cashmere woods

Jergens Daily Moisture Dry Skin Moisturizer with Silk Proteins and Citrus Extracts

I don’t know about where you live, but in Kansas City the weather is so unpredictable. It was 65 and thunderstorming when I woke up at 6 this morning and it is now 38 and about to snow. My poor skin is so confused!

That’s why I have been loving Jergens® Daily Moisture Dry Skin Moisturizer ($6.99 USD). It has a new formula that is touted to moisturize for 24 hours straight and transform dry, rough skin into visibly smooth skin. Here are more details:

Enriched with moisturizing Silk Proteins and a Citrus Extract blend, the formula leaves skin looking and feeling healthy and smooth while stimulating the senses with a unique, energizing fragrance. By combining superior 24-hour hydration and skin smoothing benefits you can see, Jergens® Daily Moisture Dry Skin Moisturizer leaves skin looking four times smoother immediately and visibly increases skin’s smoothness all day.

What I think: This lotion is perfect for moisturizing my weather-exhausted skin. I especially like using it on my very dry elbows and knees, but it is not greasy at all so I can use it as hand lotion and type on my computer! Awesome. And the price is very affordable for a large bottle (21 fl oz with a pump).

Available at mass retailers and drugstores nationwide.
