Thameen Cullinan Diamond Fragrance
Cullinan Diamond 50ml £235
Part of the Sovereign Collection, this Extrait de Parfum is inspired by the largest clear-cut diamond in the world, The Cullinan Diamond. Discovered in 1905, weighing a staggering 3.106 metric carats and its extraordinary clarity and blue–white colour, has made The Cullinan the most celebrated diamond in the world. Having longed for a scent similar to those I purchased from the Souks whilst living in the Middle East, Thameen’s Cullinan Diamond encapsulates the regal warmth and Amber Musks, that so many of their scents are known for. This gorgeous new fragrance captures a mysterious combination of Black Pepper, Vanilla, Rose, Orris and Cashmere Musk. The Cullinan Diamond Fragrance is poured into an exclusive ruby red coloured bottle and is presented in a black gift box with golden embellishment, only for Valentine’s Day.

Tom Daxon – Crushing Bloom
Available in both 50 & 100ml starting at £120
Whilst I adore the smell of roses, many floral fragrances can often leave me groggy with their sweet, sickly, scent. Crushing Bloom by Tom Daxon is the ideal perfume for those like me, who wants to smell of a delicate bouquet on a gorgeous summer’s day. Produced in a small perfume lab in Grasse, France – considered to be the world capital of the perfume industry – Tom Daxon’s namesake brand is inspired by the acute strength of scent. This rose fragrance comes with a hint of darkness and weight and therefore has fantastic longevity compared to other botanical scents. With a warming, heavier base of Oakmoss and Silken Musks, Crushing Bloom has gorgeous accents of Rose, Jasmine and Sambac and is topped with notes of Cardamom, Pink Pepper and Lily of the Valley.
Free express delivery on all UK orders and handwritten gift notes are available to select at checkout.

Valentine’s day is a great way to bring out the soppier side of your personality and to show your nearest and dearest how much you love them. I went on a mission to find the most sentimental gift I could find, and when I saw The visual book, it stole my heart. The idea behind this gift is to preserve those special memories by uploading them into this digital book so you can re-live those cherished moments whenever you want to. The stand-out moments you could upload are; anniversaries, engagement proposals, wedding days, honeymoons, baby-shower gender reveal videos, the list is endless. The quality of the product is to an extremely high standard which not only looks expensive but feels super luxurious with its sleek design; you’ll want one in every room of your home. I think this is a gift anyone would be happy to receive.
