Top Aphrodisiac Perfume Notes:
VANILLA
With its sweet and enticing nature, vanilla is one of the most recognisable mood-enhancing scents around. Its light and comforting aroma has long been thought to induce a euphoric effect, leaving both men and women feel very sensual! Romance on the cards? A spritz or two of a vanilla-infused aphrodisiac perfume should leave you feeling irresistible.
Turn up the heat with Burberry Her Elixir, eau de Parfum. An irresistibly sexy perfume for the free-spirited, confident woman in your life. The latest chapter in the intensifying story of Burberry Her, this sensual fragrance features natural aphrodisiac aromas of vanilla and jasmine, infused to perfection with fruity gourmand notes alongside a vibrant burst of dark red berries. In contrast, firm favouriteLe Male by Jean Paul Gaultier is a lesson in seduction with its iconic masculine concoction of lavender, orange blossom, cinnamon and, of course, vanilla!

JASMINE
There’s something genuinely intoxicating about jasmine, so it’s no wonder it’s known in certain cultures as the ‘perfume of love’. The highly sought-after tropical flower has a sweet yet delicate aroma to it, and it is thought to help increase romantic and positive feelings. In other words, any aphrodisiac scents centred around jasmine have date-night written all over them!
With over 40 types of jasmine used in the world of perfumery, you’re not short of options. However, we can’t recommend the extraordinary Alien Goddess by MUGLERenough, which shines a spotlight on jasmine grandiflorum. In contrast,Boss Bottled Night by Hugo Boss exudes charm with jasmine at its heart.

ROSE
Name us a fragrant note more associated with love than rose… we’ll wait! It’s the ultimate symbol of love, and the classic, romantic note is thought to increase the desire of anyone who wears it! Now, that’s an aphrodisiac note we can’t help falling head over heels in love with!

MUSK
Looking to turn things up a notch or two for date night? Then an aphrodisiac perfume featuring musk should do the trick. But don’t be fooled into thinking musk is a male-only note. Oh no, the notably sexy scent is just as prominent in female perfumes too. The earthy, woody note is charming and undeniably hot; in other words, it’s a must-try!
If date night is on the horizon, then Narciso Rodriguez has you covered with their Musc Noir and Narciso Ambree scents which both feature their signature ‘heart of musc’. Musc Noir is wrapped in mystery and intensity, while For Her offers a burst of florals with woody undertones.

TUBEROSE
Everything about tuberose oozes sex appeal! It’s deep, dark and mysterious and a scent best-suited for the night! In fact, it was deemed so alluring that young ladies were banned from wearing it in the Victorian era as it was thought it made them spontaneously excited - if you get our drift! Today, however, it’s an undeniably aphrodisiac scent that is perfect if you’re looking for something daring and delicious!
A truly sexy perfume that includes the velvet-like note of tuberose is My Way by Armani, which uses an innovative method to extract the sought-after scent. Perfumers use molecular distillation to extract the tuberose heart to create the oh, so feminine creamy, velvety notes.
And gents, can we tempt you with the provocative and always-on-trend, 1 Million by Paco Rabanne? Both scents are intoxicating and addictive - exactly what you’d expect from an aphrodisiac perfume.
