For me, February is the month of love, new beginnings, and hope. In February, the days grow longer, the winter days seem to shrink, and I can already feel the coming of spring in the cold winter air. It is as if February is a transitional month between winter and spring, where the cold air merges into a perfect symbiosis with the spring breeze, creating the very scent of the month.
Between February 14th and February 26th, I celebrate love three times. Why February 26th? Because that is when I first met Tiberiu, my partner, 21 years ago.
So, February 14th comes with its Valentine's Day, on February 24th we celebrate Dragobete, the traditional Romanian festival of love, and February 26th is my own personal celebration.
And during this time, I kept thinking about love perfumes whose sensual or romantic essences could create the atmosphere of love, but also whose very names would contain, in one way or another, the word love, falling in love, or romance.
So today, I have created a TOP 10 for you of the most beautiful perfumes that tenderly whisper:
LOVE, DESIRE, PASSION.
1. Akro - Crush
We begin with a pink love, a teenage love, romantic and full of vitality. A tender, ingenuous perfume, yet one that possesses a dose of boldness and magnetism. Velvety roses, powdery notes, and the gourmand notes of macarons make Crush an idyllic, vivacious, and romantic fragrance.
2. Plume Impression - LOVE No Shame
A love that promises both seduction, sensuality, and mystery, but also loyalty. A bold, jovial, and extravagant perfume in its top and heart notes, but woody, steadfast, and warm at its base. Sweet cherries, strawberries and whipped cream, vanilla, and velvety roses are just a few of the notes that conquer you, while the oud in the base whispers that peace and stability are also a form of love.
3. Coreterno - Ultralove
A love like no other. A love that is bold, delicious, yet profound; a rebellious love that doesn't hide, doesn't shy away, it is simply felt. That is what ULTRALOVE is—a love that lures you in through sensuality and delicious, gourmand notes, yet penetrates your soul and mind through its depth, free spirit, and the excitement of a love without borders.
4. Monegal - #lovereaction
Ibiza Collection This perfume is an invitation to fun for two. A sunset on the promenade, a stroll through the romantic streets of a bohemian city, cotton candy shared together—#lovereaction inspires joy, youthfulness, and romance. Notes of caramel, cotton candy, and gourmand notes make this fragrance the absolute delight of a first date.
5. First Love - Brogi
A love like a summer—the most beautiful summer. A love that is warm, ripe, bright, and serene, just as only the beginning of summer can be. Joyful, full of optimism, and radiant, that is what Brogi's first love is like. Effervescent, juicy, and full of joy, it is a love that caresses you, soothes you, and restores pure happiness.
6. Amour Libertin (Eshqh-e-Aazaad) - SASVA
A love that carries you away to the Orient, luring and seducing you through its unique, bold, and spicy notes. Freedom, a daring spirit, and a love straight out of oriental tales—that is what Amour Libertin is.
7. Histoire d'Amour 2.0 - Jul et Mad Paris
A long-lasting love that knows how to listen, to caress, to soothe. A love that is steadfast and beautiful, like a love story you can only read about in books. Warmth, calmness, understanding, profound love, respect, and friendship. A love that happens between two people and is lived with grace. That is what Histoire d'Amour 2.0 is—a unisex perfume for both.
8. LOVERS - Liu Jo
A shy love story between two young people, full of life and in love. Joy, vitality, excitement, and a teenage love—that is what Lovers by Liu Jo is. Fruity, cheerful, and youthful, like a spring day lived and spent to the fullest with the person you love.
9. Baciami - Allegra - BVLGARI
Baciami is sensuality for two—that sensuality intertwined with mystery and seduction. A love that doesn't show off, doesn't shout, but simply feels. A love lived to the absolute max, savored and spent during late evenings under a full moon by the seashore. A love where desire speaks louder than words.
10. French Affair - Ex Nihilo
A quiet, introverted, and mysterious love. Filled with depth and enigmas, a love where words have no place—only passion and mystery, desire and pure love. A cold, elegant, and almost dark fragrance, like a hidden love that sometimes consumes you, and other times revitalizes you. A nocturnal encounter in Paris and a forbidden love—that is what French Affair is to me.
