Warmer weather, longer days, and dreams of the perfect vacation...it's that time again. But even if you can’t afford a trip around the world, you can still be whisked away to far-off places and experience eight of the world's most desirable destinations - with an evocative scent and a click of your mouse.
Destination #1: New York Instead of the typical hustle and bustle of the Big Apple, The Party in Manhattan - available for the first time in the US - transports the wearer to a time of hushed corridors in grand hotels, the foyers of the theaters of Broadway, and private parties filled with decadence. This era of soigné elegance is evoked with notes of bergamot, tangerine, clary sage, carnation, carrot, jasmine, May rose, ylang ylang, iris, vetiver, patchouli, oakmoss, and gray amber. Available at LuckyScent.com.
Destination #2: Los Angeles The FRANK los angeles epoymous fragrance is a distinct yet subtle and delicate mix of spice and citrus that mirrors its namesake City of Angels. Notes of green tea, sandalwood and bergamot give it a little more class, making it versatile enough to take you straight from the beach to the nightclub without a moment to waste. LuckyScent.com
Destination #3: Napa Valley, California Some people make yearly pilgrimages to this bacchanalian Mecca, but you can take an olfactory trip with Cielo by Napa Valley. This sophisticated green fragrance evokes the rustic California vineyards with notes of grape leaves, honeysuckle, fig leaf, oak and sandalwood. BeautyHabit.com
Destination #4: Hawaii Dreaming of a tropical vacation? Save yourself the long plane ride and indulge in a Hawaiian-inspired fragrance. Blooming with the light, airy notes of tropical flowers, Monyette’s cult favorite Coquette Tropique is the essence of a Pacific paradise. Sit back, relax, and soak in this sun-drenched flowery elixir. LuckyScent.com
Destination #5: Kyoto, Japan Looking to get in touch with your inner Zen master? Kyoto by Comme des Garcons is a spiritual journey to the tranquil temples of the city known as Heart of Japan. Dry and calm, Kyoto is sprinkled with hints of cedar, incense, cypress oil, amber, and coffee. Earthy, spicy and smoky, it’s a meditative scent that promises to transport you to the serenity of ancient Japan. LuckyScent.com
Destination #6: Paris, France A moonlit walk along the Seine, romantic cafés, the view atop the Eiffel Tower, Paris is the ultimate destination for lovers. Master perfumer Michel Roudnitska is ‘le nez’ behind Parfums Delrae’s Amoureuse, a subtly feminine and exquisitely heady with notes of French tuberose, French Jasmine and honey. LuckyScent.comD
estination #7: Avignon, France You don’t need a passport to evoke the feeling of the medieval French city that was the center of the Catholic Church’s reign in the 14th century. Avignon by Comme des Garcons is all about marble cathedrals, smoky incense, rich tapestries, the long-heralded scents of frankincense and myrrh. A dry vanilla and soft Roman chamomile dull the edges of this reverent perfume. It’s beautiful, dark and mysterious. LuckyScent.com
Destination #8: Lake Como, Italy Live in the lap of luxury without ever leaving your front porch in 10 Corso Como, the luxe hotel’s signature scent. With hints of sandalwood, musk, rose, geranium, and rare Malay wood oil, Corso Como has attracted so many crazed global that some buy the bottles by the dozen. Welcome to Italian paradise.
