The Best Valentine’s Day Beauty Gifts of 2026

Vanille Rouge from Versace’s Atelier Collection offers a refined exploration of vanilla, balancing softness with depth. Delicate notes of rose water and lily of the valley bring a light floral lift, before settling into a warm base of white amber and Madagascan vanilla. A harmonious interplay of freshness and warmth, it is an elegant, assured composition with all the makings of a signature – a considered choice for those seeking a scent with lasting appeal.

True to its name, Nishane’s Meant To Be Seen is crafted for those whose presence naturally commands attention. Opening with the bright clarity of fresh bergamot and violet, it softens into iris butter, moxalone and a touch of civettone, bringing the scent its signature powdery floral richness. Grounded by a smooth base of sandalwood and Akigalawood, the result is an earthy yet luminous composition with a presence that lingers long after its wearer has left the room.

Jeroboam’s Kun Amo is a study in intimate expression, balancing succulent pear notes with smooth, velvety woods. Sparkling citrus fruits create an inviting opening, before the fragrance settles into an alluring base of musky cedarwood and warm amber. Sensual without being overpowering, the composition creates a subtle yet enveloping trail, drawing the wearer into a skin-close finish that feels quietly and deeply personal.

Crafted by master perfumer Alberto Morillas, Ombra Lirica blends a carefully chosen bouquet of notes to evoke depth and emotion. Fresh cedarwood and warm nutmeg open before oud’s rich depth emerges, creating a resinous brightness. Exclusive to Harrods and inspired by Ugo Foscolo’s A Zacinto, the fragrance plays on contrast, balancing lightness and intensity to reflect the sonnet’s themes of longing and nostalgia. Thoughtful and evocative, it makes for a meaningful tribute to cherished memories.

Confident yet delicate, Empressa by Penhaligon’s opens with a radiant burst of citrus, softened by a whisper of pink pepper, before unfurling into a heart of soft florals, ripe fruits and gentle spice. As it warms on the skin, vanilla and cocoa come to the fore alongside subtle woods and amber, lending depth and a smooth, enveloping finish. A tribute to feminine grace and enduring allure, it is a scent crafted for the modern muse.

Housed in Gucci’s iconic gold-fluted pink casing, Mascara L’Obscur is more than a beauty essential – it’s a collectible piece of the house’s distinctive artistry. The micro-fine bristles capture and define every lash, while the creamy, ultra-black formula glides from root to tip for a look that builds effortlessly from fluttering fan to bold, dramatic glamour. Long-wearing and smudge-resistant, it is a coveted addition to any vanity: a statement staple which offers versatility and beauty that endures.

What better gift than luminous, revitalised skin? The Elixir by Augustinus Bader is powered by Advanced TFC8, an optimised evolution of the brand’s proprietary complex that delivers key vitamins, lipids and peptides with heightened efficiency to support skin’s natural renewal. Combined with exosome-rich Phyto-Peptidic Concentrate, it helps leave your complexion beautifully plumped and supple. The rejuvenating formula and luxurious, silky texture promise to turn an everyday ritual into an indulgent act of self-care.

Hypnotizing Fire is a delicate romance of sweet Bulgarian rose, tart Jamaican pimento berries and creamy Madagascan vanilla, lifted by a subtle flicker of pepper tree and clove. Falling under the Yin Fire branch of The Harmonist’s elemental collection, this fragrance embodies the gentle, intimate side of fire, as opposed to its bold, blazing Yang Fire counterpart. Cocooning and warm, it makes for a tender gesture of affection, wrapping the wearer in an ember-like glow reminiscent of soft candlelight.

Featuring three covetable hues of Westman Atelier’s iconic Baby Cheeks Blush Sticks, the Petite Trio has a shade for every occasion – from soft-rose Petal and peachy-nude Chouchette to limited-edition Jam, a vibrant berry. Infused with antioxidant-rich vitamins C and E, nourishing jojoba seed oil and oil-absorbing kaolin clay, the creamy formula blends seamlessly into the skin – and lips – delivering a healthy-looking flush that stays put throughout the day. Covering everything from subtle glow to bold colour, this versatile set makes a thoughtful gift for every make-up mood.

The One Parfum by Dolce & Gabbana is a testament to olfactory craftsmanship. A deeper, more concentrated take on the original Eau de Parfum, perfumer Jean-Christophe Hérault enhances the line’s signature composition with greater warmth and intensity. Bright citrus notes are sharpened with spice before giving way to a rich woods and aromatic herbs. As it wears, smooth tobacco weaves between rich amber and earthy vetiver, creating a sophisticated yet grounded balance. The result is a nuanced evolution of a modern classic — an ideal gift for those who favour depth and refinement.
