Nothing can spark memories of past travels, or inspire dreams of trips to come, like fragrance. Book your flights now, then spritz these scents on your wrists whenever you want to return.

Un Jardin à Cythère

One whiff of Un Jardin à Cythère will whisk you to the Greek Isles. Hermès perfumer Christine Nagel created the scent based on her memories of Kythira, using a blend of olive wood and fresh pistachio notes to conjure the impression of a garden of dancing trees and golden grasses near the sea.

PACIFIC CHILL

What could be more L.A. than a scent inspired by a detox juice? For Pacific Chill, Louis Vuitton perfumer Jacques Cavallier-Belletrud took cues from a beverage he sipped while visiting California-based artist Alex Israel (whose designs grace the packaging). Think: a cool, uplifting blend of black currant, carrot seed, cedar, lemon, and aromatic herbs.

CHANEL Paris-Paris

Just as frites make the perfect accompaniment to a glass of rosé, it’s hard to beat the pairing of romantic rose and earthy patchouli. An ode to the bustling French metropolis and the stylish women who call it home, Paris-Paris is as elegant and timeless as its namesake: the perfect pink perfume to pack for your next sojourn in the City of Light.

Highland Heather

Don your tweeds for a sensory trek through the herbaceous, wild, and remote land of Balmoral and Brigadoon. The four scents in Jo Malone London’s Highlands collection conjure misty moors, ruined castles, and purple expanses of heather with notes of nettle, achillea, mallow, and heliotrope.

Isola Blu

Picture it: A private villa, a secluded island, the scent of fresh citrus and orange blossom drifting through the air. Perfumer Roja Dove conjured a fantasy locale when concocting this fragrance, but that doesn't mean a single sniff won't take you there. And who wouldn't want to go?

Paula's Ibiza Eau de Toilette

Jonathan Anderson and LOEWE’s in-house perfumer Nuria Cruelles dreamed up this ode to Ibiza, with notes of coconut water, jungle-green galbanum, driftwood, frangipani, and vanilla.

Mediterranean Honeysuckle Clementina

What's that? Positano calling? Embark on a jaunt to the idyllic Amalfi Coast with the latest in AERIN's evocative Mediterranean Honeysuckle collection, a citrus-forward floral that practically begs to be worn while sipping a post-swim spritz.

Assouline Gstaad Glam Boxed Candle By Assouline

If the thought of glistening ski slopes in Gstaad sends you into a reverie, this is the home scent you seek. From Assouline's new Travel Collection, which matches fragrant candles with glossy wanderlust sparking coffee-table books, Gstaad is redolent with woody, earthy notes of cypress, cedar, tobacco, juniper berry and palo santo.

Eau de Parfum

Each of Gallivant's unique and imaginative fragrances is dedicated to capturing the spirit of a specific location. Brooklyn was one of the first in the collection, but—like the borough itself—still retains its lively appeal. Flecked with notes of citrus, smoky incense, spicy cardamom, transparent florals, and amber, it is a scent very much in tune with the melting-pot energy of the ever changing city.
