Sensual Scents
Roses – being the bloom of love – are synonymous with St Valentine. Gift a lasting bouquet with a fine rose fragrance.

First up, Jo Malone London’s limited edition Roses Collection, comprising three ‘rebellious rose scents’: spiced Rose Amber, sweet Rose & Magnolia and the effortlessly pretty Rose Blush, a classic floral made fresh with bright notes of basil and lychee (50ml colognes, £86 each).

Then there’s Rose Silence from Miller Harris, a contemporary take which combines full-blown rose with vibrant blackberry and mandarin and warm cashmere and musks; the result is crisp at first sniff, cosseting over time (100ml EDP, £100). Jo Malone London is at Rose Crescent, Cambridge and jomalone.co.uk; Miller Harris is at millerharris.com
