February Florals: Four Fragrances to Add a Touch of Luxury to the Season

A Rose For Eau De Parfum

February may be the shortest month of the year, but it’s one of the most exciting.

Not only is it Valentine’s Day, but it’s the last full month of winter. Day-by-day, we’re getting closer to spring, warmer weather, and making happy memories outside with friends and family.

If you’re looking for a scent to get you through the cold, rainy February days, we’ve put together a selection of our favourite February fragrances.

What Types of Fragrances are Ideal for February?

February is a time of transition, as we move from cold, dark weather to lighter days and warmer temperatures.

The best February fragrances contain strong, spicy base notes that are reminiscent of winter, but also contain floral, fresh, invigorating top notes that show that spring is just around the corner.

This means you get a fragrance that starts out bright, airy, and clean and warms up as you go through the day, becoming sensual and more intense as you move from day to night.

Of course, scent is highly subjective – we believe that you should wear the fragrance that makes you feel most confident and aligns with your personal style.

But if you are looking to try something new, here are four fragrances that perfectly represent the month we’re currently in.

A Rose For...

Roses tend to bloom from late spring onwards. If you miss the heady aroma of your favourite rose bush, A Rose For... will provide you with a sanctuary of scent in the weeks and months to come.

This rich fragrance combines dark, wintry notes of oud and sandalwood with the subtle scents of red rose, cassis, and delicate Darjeeling tea. An elegant, refined choice for anyone who likes to make a statement.

Edwardian Bouquet

February fragrances don’t have to be dark, brooding, and intense. If you enjoy lighter fragrances with earthy undertones, Edwardian Bouquet (part of our historically-significant Ledger Series) is a must-have addition to your dressing table.

With top notes of citrussy bergamot and mandarin revealing velvety-smooth base notes of amber, oakmoss and patchouli, this eau de parfum will transport you to a colourful garden in full bloom.

Malmaison Encore

The Malmaison carnation has a very special history. Originating in France, this beautiful bloom was worn as a buttonhole by elegant gentlemen in the late 19th century. Still popular today, this fragrant, peony-esque flower comes to life in early summer.

Another stunning perfume from our Ledger Series, Malmaison Encore is a modern interpretation of our original Malmaison fragrance, which was a firm favourite of Oscar Wilde. Spicy and floral, this unisex fragrance combines cedarwood and musk with cinnamon, clove, and, of course, the Malmaison carnation.

Special No. 127

Herbaceous and understated, Special No. 127 is a timeless scent that will effortlessly take you from February into spring, summer, and beyond.

With long-lasting base notes of musk and patchouli, and fresh top notes of lavender, orange, and bergamot, this scent has been universally loved over the years, with it being Winston Churchill’s fragrance of choice.
