What shall we celebrate this February?

You’ve got rather a lot to choose from. There was World Wetlands Day on the 2nd, Oatmeal Monday on the 10th or you might even enjoy International I Hate Coriander Day on the 24th.

Every day there’s something to celebrate, if you’re that way inclined. This month, the one with the most puff is probably the saint’s day which falls on the 14th.

I get the concept of, let’s say, National Otter Day. As lovely as they are, otters don’t play a huge role in most of our daily lives so it seems reasonable we’d only celebrate them once a year. Whereas Valentine's Day is about celebrating love, traditionally the romantic type. Now IMHO, it’s a crying shame if we need a day each year to remind us of this.

However, as it happens, there are a lot of people who associate the gift of a bottle of perfume with Valentine’s Day, which isn’t entirely surprising. So I thought, why fight it, especially when we have something that might fit the occasion quite nicely, in a unique way. I’ll get to that soon.

A bottle of perfume isn’t just for Valentine’s Day

Maybe you’re not especially interested in celebrating Valentine’s Day, that’s fine, the 13th of February is Galentine’s Day, the 15th is Singles Awareness Day and there’s National Love Your Pet Day on the 20th. So whatever love you want to celebrate this February, and hopefully the rest of the year, knock yourself out, I say. 

If you think a bottle of perfume will help you show love to a friend, a partner or even yourself (sorry we don’t have any gifts for National Love Your Pet Day) then we’ve got a bottle on our shelves that celebrates love in its truest form. 

Tempest Rose from House of Burlesque X 4160Tuesdays

We’ve never had a fragrance that fits the season of love like this one does. It’s powerful, sassy and unapologetic. It’s got a heart-shaped sequin tassel attached to the bottle for twirling or admiring. 

This fragrance is a collaboration between 4160Tuesdays and Tempest Rose from House of Burlesque, bringing an empowering combination of citrus fruits, rich roses, jasmine and iris.

Celebrate yourself for a change

If you’re not sure who to give this fragrance to, stuff Valentine’s Day, keep it! It’s Tempest Rose the ultimate burlesque in a bottle. A celebration of confidence, empowerment, and pure entertainment.

Burlesque, and this fragrance, is about being you. The biggest, best and most fearless version of you. So, if you want it, certainly don’t sit around and wait for someone else to buy it for you, that’s not the idea at all.
