When I go out with my partner, I always tell him what outfit I have picked out for the outing so that he matches my vibe. I wouldn’t want us to clash or look like we don’t match. Matching outfits makes us feel more connected and gives us a sense of unity. I mean, we’ve all seen pictures of certain celebrity couples (you know who I mean), and they look like they’re not even going to the same event or like they’re together at all.
So why don’t we apply that same energy to fragrances? After all, perfumes are that final touch that completes our look and brings it together, so why not match with our partner? Obviously, like the outfits, I don’t mean you must wear the same exact thing your partner is wearing, but pick out something that complements what they’re wearing.
Here are my favourite pairs of fragrances that are created to complete and complement each other, just like you and your partner.
1. Versace – Eros
Eros by Versace is the first fragrance that comes to mind when thinking of a couple’s perfume with his and her versions that complement each other perfectly. The men’s version is an amber woody perfume, and the women’s version is a floral amber woody.
If you compare the two versions side by side, you can see that they are both sweet and slightly citrusy, with sandalwood in the base. These fragrances are for the golden retriever boyfriend and black-cat girlfriend. He’s out there talking to everyone, making friends, encouraging her to try new things, and she’s right there beside him wearing her favourite vanilla perfume, looking gorgeous.

2. Mugler – Angel & A*Men
This option is for the creative couple. They’re very private and don’t talk much at gatherings unless you bring up their niche interests, and then they can rant for hours. He is a writer, and she is an artist. He spends his day writing in his study, and she spends hers in her atelier, giving creative painting workshops or working on a new masterpiece. Or maybe she’s an editor, and he’s a photographer.
This pair of fragrances will complement their personality to the T. The amber vanilla, for her, and the amber woody scent, for him. The perfect pair for the artsy couple.

3. Creed – Aventus
Creed Aventus is the choice for the sophisticated, classy couple who are always elegant wherever they go. They’re the kind of couple who turn heads when they enter a room—not because they’re loud, but because they walk like they’re floating on cloud 9.
Aventus, for him, is a bold and powerful blend, and Aventus, for her, is a radiant mix. This pair of scents highlights this couple’s confidence and success.

Y, for him, is an aromatic fougere with an aroma that highlights his dependable and grounded energy. Libre, for her, is a bold yet elegant amber Fougere that tells you all you need to know about her fearless yet comforting spirit. Theirs is the kind of love that feels like home.
