Valentine’s Day is around the corner! Do you love Valentine’s as much as I do? Sometimes my more cynical friends blow it off as super commercialized (is there a holiday that isn’t?), but I think it’s brilliant that we have a day dedicated to sharing our love and affection with others. My loved ones know that green beauty treats are my signature go-to gift. I just love giving people an excuse to take extra time for themselves, and the experience that comes with spritzing on a beautiful natural perfume or massaging in a rose-infused face oil can truly make your heart swell. What is Valentine’s if not a day of pure beauty? And yes—you can absolutely be your own Valentine and treat yourself to botanical divinity.

I’ve gathered a list of some favorites for this Valentine’s Day Gift Guide using the classic theme of roses and chocolate, with a few pops of red for good measure. Follow the links to find your perfect Valentine!

About Susannah Compton

Susannah Compton is the founder and formulator behind Florescent, a line of 100% botanical perfumes she blends in small batches from organic and wild crafted aromatics. Plant-based skincare and cosmetics are a way of life for Susannah, who writes about clean beauty and the benefits of botanical ingredients for No More Dirty Looks, Thoughtfully Magazine and Integrity Botanicals. Florescent, however, is Susannah’s personal expression of healthy beauty. Susannah has been working with botanical aromatics for years, blending first for therapeutic purposes before delving into the art of perfumery. Having rarely experienced the depth and complexity of true botanicals in conventional perfume, she learned the art of blending and created what her heart desired — a scent that would move her the way perfume should. In search of those elevating, ethereal bouquets of scent, Susannah honed her skills behind the perfume bench. She launched Florescent in the spring of 2015 to share the lush experience and pleasing ritual of real perfume.
