Is Valentine’s Day just hype?
Or is it something we should still honour?

Yes, it can feel commercial. Predictable. A little cheesy.
But in a world increasingly shaped by algorithms, automation, and AI; maybe choosing to pause for romance isn’t so trivial after all.

Scent reminds us of something important.

Attraction isn’t a trend.
Connection isn’t a marketing campaign.
Chemistry is biology. Instinct. Emotion.

Long before we swipe, scroll, or speak - we sense.
We read subtle cues. We lean in. We respond to what feels familiar, grounding, exciting, safe.
That’s human chemistry.

Inside Oo La Lab, February has always been a special time. We host couples from new sparks to steady flames, guiding them through the process of designing a fragrance together. It’s playful, sometimes surprising - and often more revealing than expected.

Because when you build something with someone - especially something invisible like a scent - you learn about each other in a different way.

So hype or not, perhaps Valentine’s is simply a reminder.

To slow down.
To celebrate connection.
To honour the chemistry that makes us human.

And that feels worth celebrating.
