Choosing the Best Dupe Perfume or Aftershave Gifts and Bundles this Valentine’s Day

The complex history of what was originally the feast of Saint Valentine includes Christian and pagan elements. But the occasion developed its romantic associations and traditions in the fourteenth and fifteenth centuries as notions of ‘courtly love’ thrived.

The modern February 14 customs became more popular in the 1800s, although people began making handmade Valentine’s cards as early as the Middle Ages and the custom took off from the eighteenth century onwards.

If you are looking for a gift for the one you love this year, there are many reasons to choose perfume. After all, it evokes strong emotions and memories; plus, it is a highly intimate way of connecting with the recipient. The sense of smell interacts with our limbic system, the part of the brain which manages emotional processing. So, scent can be a key part of the attraction between two people, whether you are a few dates into your relationship, or have been together for years.

Choose a fragrance that reflects the person’s style and personality, and you will have a very personal offering which shows you have put significant thought into your choice. And because perfume smells slightly different on everyone who wears it, due to individual skin make-up, that makes it an even more personalised gift.

The best products also have a certain luxurious appeal and will last a long time – far longer, for example, than flowers or chocolates typically do. Equally, given the connection between romance and seduction and scents such as vanilla and jasmine, you also introduce a sensual element.

Save money this Valentine’s Day with Dupe Perfumes and Aftershaves

The big snag, however, with leading-brand perfumes is their sheer expense, especially if, given the time of year, you are still paying off post-festive credit card bills.

But it does not have to be that way. Dupe perfumes provide the same olfactory experience and general product quality as designer makes, but at a much lower price point. That means you can, for example, buy more than one product to expand your loved ones’ fragrance library, or allow them to experiment with something they have not worn previously, or even heard of.

Dupe aftershaves and perfumes do not mean compromising on quality or longevity. Today’s market has an immense variety of scents and aftershaves based on some of the most famous fragrance brands in the world. And they are not counterfeits, since they make no claim to be the original perfume; it merely inspires them.

Tips for Buying Perfume for Valentine’s Day

1. Take a look at what the object of your affection is already using. While it is good to experiment, another option is to go for something tried and tested. Use devious means to find out what they like if necessary if it is a new relationship!
2. Remember that a scent embodies how someone looks and feels. Baccarat Rouge, for example, from top brand MFK, is all about feeling sexy and confident. (Amber Infusion from Dialect Fragrances offers the perfect replica – but you will save over 84% off your purchase rather than the recommended retail price of nearly £250).
3. Consider the setting. If you are going for the whole intimate meal out for two, look for warm, rich notes. Enjoying a daytime adventure? Think about something light and refreshing. Meanwhile, if you’re just going for a cosy dinner or movie night in, choose comforting aromas – vanilla, cinnamon and amber are good examples. Alternatively, if you’re out dancing, keep energy levels high with citrus notes.
4. Mix fragrance families. If you buy a fragrance bundle for your beloved, dabble in a variety of fragrance families for a well-rounded gift. One product could be mainly floral, for example, another could have more woody or oriental notes.
5. Go floral. A classic scent for Valentine’s could have floral undertones including rose, jasmine or peony, perhaps combined with sweet or fruity notes like citrus, berries or vanilla.
