Some men are excellent, thoughtful gift-givers who prepare months in advance with creative, insightful gifts that make her heart melt and her loins flutter. Some men… are not.

Whether you are that guy, or just aspire to be, we’ve got a completely lovely and unique gift recommendation for you:

Mandy Aftel is basically the American pioneer of artisanal perfumery. Vanity Fair magazine calls her the “Angel of Alchemy.” Her handmade perfumes are considered Hollywood’s chicest, best-kept secret.

In addition to her own branded silver compacts, Mandy offers her exquisite solid scents inside vintage silver watch cases and antique compacts.

And Aftelier’s liquid perfumes are available in beautiful containers as well, such as glass pendants or this silver flask.

Valentine’s Day is next Sunday, so don’t fall prey to the last-minute, dozen-roses-from-the-grocery-store, sheepish-look presentation. You’ve still got time to make it an affair to remember.
