A date night calls for a scent that is warm, stays close to the skin and leaves an impression without filling the room. When people look for a date night perfume, they usually think of vanilla, spices, resins and soft florals: notes that grow warmer on the skin as the evening goes on. In this guide we look at three fragrances from our range that suit the occasion, with the notes as they appear in the product descriptions.
What to look for in a date night perfume
Choose a scent that suits the occasion. A dinner or an evening out calls for something with depth: a warm base of vanilla, amber or benzoin, perhaps with incense or spices on top. Fresh citrus scents suit the daytime, but for the evening many people prefer a fragrance with more body.
Pay attention to strength as well. An intense fragrance needs only one or two sprays, especially on warm spots such as the wrists, neck and behind the ears. That keeps it pleasant for those standing close to you.
Warm and spicy: Arabiyat Prestige Ramad Oriental
Arabiyat Prestige Ramad Oriental is an Oriental Woody eau de parfum for women and men. According to the product description, it opens with cardamom, elemi, pepper, lemon and bergamot, with saffron, cumin, patchouli, geranium and jasmine in the heart.
The base consists of opoponax, olibanum, benzoin, vanilla and amber. It is an intense fragrance that suits the evening, formal occasions and the colder months. We recommend applying it to the pulse points so the resinous notes are released gradually.
Creamy and gourmand: Rayhaan Tonquin Giza
Rayhaan Tonquin Giza is an Oriental Vanilla eau de parfum for women and men. The product description lists pink pepper, bergamot and incense-like accents in the opening, Bulgarian rose, ylang-ylang and cedarwood in the heart, and a base of double vanilla, benzoin and amber.
This is a warm, creamy fragrance for anyone who loves vanilla. It comes into its own in autumn and winter and on special evenings, applied to the wrists, neck and behind the ears.
Sweet and floral: Arabiyat Prestige La Di Da For Her
Arabiyat Prestige La Di Da For Her is a Floral Fruity Gourmand fragrance for women. The opening is made up of sweet notes, raspberry and lemon, the heart of tuberose, ylang-ylang and rose, and the base of vanilla, benzoin and musk.
It is a playful, sweet scent that can work both during the day and on an evening out. If you would rather go lighter and fruitier for a date night, this is a clear alternative to the heavier oriental fragrances.
The difference between an evening scent and an everyday scent
An evening scent can be more present than a fragrance for the office or an afternoon in town. Resins, incense, vanilla and spices add depth and suit dim light and a relaxed pace. An everyday scent is usually lighter and fresher, with citrus or soft florals.
That does not mean an evening scent always has to be heavy. A sweet, fruity fragrance can work just as well, as long as it suits your style. It helps to try a fragrance on your skin first and let it develop for a few hours before choosing it for an important evening.
How to wear a date night perfume
- Apply the fragrance well before you leave, so the top notes can settle and the heart can open.
- Use one or two sprays on the wrists, neck or behind the ears, and do not rub the skin.
- Store the bottle in a cool, dark place, as the product description also advises.
