Here are four of our favorites.
For a Tropical Paradise
Comptoir Sud Pacifique Vanille Coco Roller Ball, $20
Notes of sweet coconut milk and soothing vanilla mix with subtle traces of heliotrope, banana and whipped cream to form a fragrance perfect for a trip to the Hawaiian Islands or the South Pacific.
For a Foreign City
Bvlgari Black, $78
Pack this perfume if you’re planning an excursion to Tokyo, Hong Kong, Berlin or NYC. Designed for both men and women, this smoky, spicy and sophisticated scent is decidedly urban, and includes notes of black tea, amber, sandalwood and musk.
For Your European Getaway
Dior Dior Addict Eau Fraîche, $69
This flirty and ultra-feminine fragrance is tailor-made for a trip to Saint-Tropez, a
voyage to Paris or a rendezvous to Rome. It perfectly marries fruity with floral, mixing crisp notes of grapefruit, pineapple, watermelon and orange with lotus flower, grenadine, freesia and lily of the valley.
For an East Coast Beach
Crabtree & Evelyn Nantucket Briar Eau de Toilette, $40
Hit Cape Cod, Fire Island or Nantucket with a bottle of this earthy and airy eau de toilette. After a day spent beachside along the Atlantic, nothing will smell better than this perfume’s mix of wild briar rose, patchouli, ambergris and bergamot.
