Setting the mood for romance is key to a great night in!
Whether you’re snuggling up to a favourite film or cooking a meal for two, here are our tips on setting the mood for romance...Ambiance - Fill your home with a beautiful aroma and for a great twist, how about a massage oil candle like NEOM Organics Intensive Skin Treatment Candle? If you're using scented candles, make sure you trim the wick first to 5mm and light it around 1 hour before your evening begins. And don't forget to put it out before you retire!Music - Set up your playlist now: don’t leave things to chance, put together a selection of your favourite tracks and leave it on repeat. Head to YouTube for inspo, or, for a relaxing evening, check our Pamper Night Spa Music.Fragrance - Make fragrance last longer with matching body lotion and shower gel. Layering is key to making your scent last, so treat yourself to the fragrance set. And when you do apply your fragrance, make sure you put it on every pulse point - anywhere that warms up will project your signature scent. A great way to make your scent last is to apply a little Vaseline to your pulse points, then spray your fragrance over the top. And if you can't find the matching bath or shower gel, add a few sprays to your bath water - it really does work! Don't wear fragrance? Perfumed hair mist is a great alternative. We love Miss Dior Hair Mist, a blend of fruits, caramel popcorn and patchouliLighting - Dimming the lights is of course de rigeur, but if you don't have the option then fairy lights add a magical touch (no, they're not just for Christmas) and unlike tea lights, there's no need to worry about putting them all out!
Gifting - A surprise gift is a must, but it doesn't need to break the bank. A small fragrance for him or a bath and body treat for her (it doesn't have to be flowers or chocolates!)
