What do you get when mixing
Aluminium, Neon, Nitrogen, Sulfur, Titanium, Vanadium,
and two math ingredients
$\lim_{n\to\infty}(1+\dfrac{1}{n})^n $ and (degree,?,seconds)
and
don't ask why.
This mix exists only today! Find the mix.

The mix is
VALENTINE'S, which is today!
The chemical elements and mathematical clues
all resolve to single letters/symbols or bigrams: AL, NE, N, S, TI, V for the elements; E and ' (as in minute) for the math.
Then, we “mix” these ingredients by
anagramming them to form a word or phrase that would make thematic sense. Of all the possible anagrams, VALENTINE'S is most appropriate here.

$\begingroup$ @WeatherVane We do have different interpretations of the second mathematical element though, so it’s up to the OP to decide which one of us got it right :) $\endgroup$– HTMCommented Feb 14, 2020 at 18:38

$\begingroup$ I could say there might be a better answer yet: things can always be better.... but don't dare to say that today. $\endgroup$ Commented Feb 14, 2020 at 18:39

$\begingroup$ Yeah, your interpretation of the second math symbol is correct, unfortunately the rework of my post did not highlight "and don't ask why", which is part of the question. I consider your answer as correct, I'm sure it is easy to complete and just cosmetic.I give credit to both of you. $\endgroup$– ThomasLCommented Feb 14, 2020 at 18:43

$\begingroup$ I can see now where you get the rot13(ncbfgebcur) but I can't really see the relevance of the math expression (although I know what its value is). $\endgroup$ Commented Feb 14, 2020 at 18:44

My answer is
Valentines X
The chemical symbols:
Al Aluminium
Ne Neon
N Nitrogen
S Sulfur
Ti Titanium
V Vanadium
and the mathematical symbols $e$ and $x$
make an anagram of alnenstivex
The mathematical expression has the value $1$ and the missing word is minute
so perhaps that part means
for one minute ?
love you - only today!
