What are the 7 best scents for feeling like your traveling?

With a simple spritz, these men’s women’s and unisex scents will take you to the four corners of the globe. Europe, America, the Middle East, Asia and even… outer space!

1. Indian Night Jasmine by The Body Shop: for an Asian getaway
WOMEN’S PERFUME

Destination: India. Specifically, the Mughal Gardens.

The Sweet Lowdown: This perfume pays tribute to jasmine, which blooms as soon as day is done. Its bewitching scent has been paired with amber and wood notes.

If you’re more into Japan, The Body Shop’s “Scents of the World” collection also proposes Japanese Cherry Blossom.
 
 

2. Acqua Fiorentina The Encore by Creed: give into the rhythm of la dolce vita
WOMEN’S PERFUME

Destination: A sun-drenched orchard near the Tuscan city of Florence.

The Sweet Lowdown: This perfume is a remix of Acqua Fiorentina. You’ll recognize the notes of plum, rose and cedar, but they have been paired with a fresher; fruitier spirit this time around. 

Fans can pamper themselves with a wide range of bath and body products, including a scented oil and a bar of soap with a retro look.
 
 

3. Oud Ispahan by Dior: to discover oud wood’s Arabian Nights charm
UNISEX SCENT

Destination: The Middle East, with its intoxicatingly spicy waves of scent and its shimmering, lushly embroidered fabrics always fascinated Christian Dior.

The Sweet Lowdown: The precious wood oud has been intertwined with Damask rose. The outcome is a lush, opulent and resolutely exotic fragrance.

This isn’t the first time that Dior has put oud wood in the spotlight. In 2010, the house presented Leather Oud, a fragrance with more powerful leathery notes.
 
 

4. Axe Apollo: to blast off into space
MEN’S SCENT

Destination: Space! Axe offers men a unique chance to enjoy an inter-galactic adventure.

The Sweet Lowdown: Although the concept is wild, the fragrance itself is a classic. It’s a fougere scent with sage and fruit notes over a woodier dry-down.

A few drops of Axe Apollo will let men feel as sexy as an astronaut, because, according to Axe, nothing beats an astronaut, not even a fireman! 
 

5. Voyage by Hermès: to travel between heaven and earth
UNISEX SCENT

Destination: An imaginary place, with this scent that pays tribute to the legendary house of Hermès’s founding theme: travel.

The Sweet Lowdown: Hermès’s in-house perfumer, Jean-Claude Ellena, came up with a fragrance that is fresh, floral, musky and woody… all at once.

This airy scent also comes in a ‘Parfum’ version. The black bottle contains a spicier, more powerful juice. 
 

6. New York Muse by Elite: for a trip to the Big Apple
WOMEN’S PERFUME

Destination: The most vibrant and fashion-forward city in the U.S.A.: New York.

The Sweet Lowdown: Elite proposes a fruity fragrance with a twist of ruby-red blood orange, plus peony and vanilla.

Elite’s recommended dress code for a trip to New York: a rebellious, urban, rock ‘n roll look.   
 

7. La Fille de Berlin by Serge Lutens: for an artistic escapade to Germany
UNISEX SCENT

Destination: Berlin and its teeming cultural life. Designer Serge Lutens extends this invitation to (re)discover German impressionism.

The Sweet Lowdown: A unisex scent (despite the name, which means “The Girl from Berlin”) that puts the spotlight on spices, woods and especially… roses.

We love: the fragrance’s blood-red juice. Still, don’t spray it onto a white shirt: a stain is practically a given!
