And while you’re planning (and shopping!) don’t forget the most important person in your life...YOU.
1. An ode to love
Roses are red (or pink, or white…) and their delicate scent captures the essence of romance. The heart of our premier scent, Promenade Sur Le Rocher, is a bouquet of flowers anchored by rose centifolia, the perfumer’s muse. Additional notes of bergamot, jasmine, amber, and musk bloom with richness and sensuality. Inspired by Princess Grace’s journey to Monaco to marry Prince Rainier III, it’s a fragrance for romantics and adventurers. Promenade Sur Le Rocher is perfect for the one who holds the key to your heart.
2. Walks in nature
Princess Grace found profound inspiration in the beauty of nature. In our fast-paced lives, a leisurely nature walk provides the perfect opportunity to slow down, appreciate our surroundings, and connect on a deeper level. Whether it's a serene forest, a beachside stroll, or a charming botanical garden, plan a hike along a scenic path that lets the tranquility of nature enhance the bond you share.
3. Love at first spritz
Let fragrance speak the language of love. Ombre Sereine eau de parfum is an exquisite floral chypre fragrance that exudes sophistication and charm, making it the perfect companion for the love in your life. Ombre Sereine is an effervescent mix of Mimosa and jasmine, with soft and herbal touches of lavandin. Notes of leather and ambroxine add depth to this distinctive scent that evolves uniquely on the skin.
4. Pressed flower design
As an accomplished artist and lover of flowers, Princess Grace found joy in her creative pursuits. Why not get inspired by nature and engage in the delicate art of pressed flower design? Considered a therapeutic outlet by many, this craft not only allows you to create beautiful keepsakes but also serves as a symbol of transformation and the enduring beauty of your relationship.

5. Scent from Heaven
A true friend is a gem; they deserve nothing but the best. Consider our Scent from Heaven Duo, an elegant limited-edition gift of a Grace de Monaco eau de parfum and a Rose Gold Promenade Twilly. Choose a fragrance that aligns with the nuances of their personality: the adventurous Promenade Sur Le Rocher, the vivacious Danse Étoilée, or the alluring Ombre Sereine. Each fragrance pairs well with the Rose Gold Promenade Twilly. Made of 100% silk, the print features beautiful shades of rose, shimmering gold, and sapphire jewel tones. Whomever you gift this to will love the versatility of this accessory, whether tied to the handle of a bag, worn as a headband, or delicately knotted around the neck, à la Princess Grace.
6. Candlelight dinners
Channel the feeling and grandeur of Princess Grace's royal dinner parties by creating an intimate candlelit dinner. Set the stage with soft candlelight, exquisite table settings (like white linens paired with boldly colored glasses), and a carefully curated menu. Scatter small, scented candles like our Danse Étoilée or Promenade Sur Le Rocher along your table mixed with small floral arrangements. It's not just about the meal; it's about crafting an atmosphere of love, appreciation, and the cherished moments you've shared.
7. A perfect match
For the special someone with whom you share an unspoken bond, gift them the warm glow and soft embrace of our Love at First Light Duo featuring a small Scented Candle and silk Twilly. Made in Limoges, France, the Promenade Sur Le Rocher Small Scented Candle blends floral delicacy and ambery warmth. A timeless fragrance perfect for creating an inviting ambiance. The Rose Gold Promenade Twilly is a timeless accessory that can effortlessly transform any look, making it instantly chic. Hand-finished in Italy, it also features Princess Grace’s iconic signature. This duo is more than just a gift; it's a harmonious blend of warmth and style.
8. Eau de calm
Offer your loved one the luxurious gift of relaxation. The Grace de Monaco Porcelain Diffuser gently disperses fragrance to create an atmosphere of tranquility. It was specifically designed with three floral stems to represent Princess Grace’s love of flowers and her love for her three children. Customize it with one of our two Diffuser Fragrance Oils: Promenade Sur Le Rocher, a passionate floral amber scent, or Danse Étoilée, a fresh, open-hearted floral. This distinctive gift is a beautiful way to express gratitude and affection.
9. Love letters
Behind the glamour of Prince Rainier III and Princess Grace’s royal exterior was a love story that unfolded through meaningful and often passionate love letters. In one such letter, Prince Rainier III, wrote “I love you, miss you, need you, and want you near me always.” Their letters, filled with genuine expressions of love, longing, and devotion, reflected the intimacy of their connection. In an age where digital communication often dominates, there is an enduring lesson to be learned from the art of putting pen to paper. A heartfelt note allows you to communicate your emotions in a deliberate, sincere, and deeply personal way. The charm of handwritten notes lies in their personal touch, such as including an inside joke, a shared memory, or specific details that only the two of you would understand. Personalizing your messages adds an extra layer of intimacy. Handwritten letters become precious mementos, capturing the essence of your connection.
10. Wrapped in love
Inspired by Princess Grace’s dried flower arrangements, our Grace de Monaco Silk Scarves are an exquisite gesture of pure luxury. The abstract floral designs are available in soft shades of gold, cream blue and rose. They elegantly elevate any outfit—or any room they adorn. Use them as a hair accessory, or even as a framed piece of art.
Our curated selection of gifts and activities is not just about giving presents; it’s about expressing love and appreciation. Let this Valentine's Day be a tribute to the enduring spirit of romance, artistry, meaningful bonds and the profound connections that make our hearts beat a little faster.
