Love at first smell

At Babassu our love of perfume runs deep, so scent plays an important part in finding your valentine. Which fragrances do these Babassu Beauties stay loyal to, and which do they most love to wear on a (Valentine’s) date?

Babassu Beauty Eileen:

“My favourite is Slogan by Courrèges, a woody, aquatic perfume with a surprising contrast between warm musk and airy juniper. On a first date I would wear Miss_U by Laboratorio Olfattivo. It is a warm perfume that smells of a romantic open fire.”

Babassu Beauty Emma:

“I would choose Blue Santal by Comme des Garçons, for its salty, bold character.
For a date night I find Cozumel by Laboratorio Olfattivo very fitting. It is an aromatic, passionate scent that shifts continually between cool and warm. I also think I want by Marc Buxton is a good one for Valentine’s Day. This perfume built around red fruit is a little stronger, but very elegant. I picture myself in a truly beautiful dress.”

Babassu Beauty Arlene:

“Don’t Cry for Me by A Long Time Ago In Argentina (Altaia) is a favourite, for its softness. It is a gentle scent with violets and a memory of times past. I am not from Sulawesi myself, but the finest patchouli is. Sulawesi by Nissaba is my ultimate patchouli scent. I would wear Nudiflorem by Nasomatto Parfums for a first date. The longer you wear it, the lovelier it becomes. A very mysterious scent. Rose Ardoise by Atelier Materi has a bold little rose and works for both her and him. If you need to choose a perfume for a man, then Black by Comme des Garçons is wonderful. This classic men’s fragrance actually reminds me of my very first date.”

Babassu Beauty Fenne:

“My all-time favourite is Hyper Musc by Courrèges, a woody, floral musk fragrance for women and men. On my date I wear the fresh Dancing on Goosebump by Emil Élise.”

Babassu Beauty Louise:

“My favourite perfume is French Leather by Memo. If I had a boyfriend, I would love it if he wore By The Fire Place by Replica. La Vie En Fleurs by Bienamé is truly a scent for a first date!”

Babassu Beauty Jessica:

“It would be lovely if my boyfriend wore L’Empriente by Courrèges. The scent opens with fresh bergamot and melds with the warmth of patchouli and creamy ambroxan. For myself, I choose Slogan by Courrèges at Valentine’s, for the contrast between airy juniper and warm musk.”

Babassu Beauty Michelle:

“I really like Gin Fizz by Lubin. The perfume was created as a tribute to Grace Kelly and named after her favourite cocktail. Escentric 01 by Escentric Molecules is another favourite. My boyfriend and I both wear it. It is soft and easy to wear: one to recommend to anyone. On a night out I would spray Hinoki by Comme des Garçons. It smells of cedar, vetiver and oakmoss, as though you are walking through the woods. Or Kedu by Memo. A scent with grapefruit, neroli and a touch of musk.”
