To seduce efficiently and effectively this Valentine's Day, you will need the right perfume, the right booze and the right attitude so we have enlisted fragrance expert Odette Toilette and sommelier Clara Rubin to give us a guide to matching our scents to our wines. Of course, not everyone's seduction tactics are the same – it depends not just on the one doing the seducing but also on the one (hopefully) being seduced – and Odette and Clara have considered that skilfully, selecting six separate perfumes and six separate wines to complement a variety of lover types.

Click the gallery for a comprehensive guide to matching your perfume to your wine, whether you are a 'Romantic' or a 'Can't Be Bothered', and before you know it, the person you really fancy will fancy you right back. Maybe...

Fragrance expert Odette Toilette and Clara Rubin of Berkmann Wine Cellars are co-hosts of anarchic new tasting event Sip/Sniff, which gets people pairing with wines with perfumes at Stories on Broadway Market. The next event is April 22, 2014. Buy tickets here.
