Perfumes & Emotions

Holiday destination perfumes: fragrances that transport you without moving

Travelling without moving is possible thanks to the evocative power of perfume. Fragrances can conjure the warmth of a Mediterranean afternoon, the humidity of a forest or the rhythm of a bustling city.

Explore the world through scents that evoke adventure, history, and nature.

Cities to rediscover

Perfumes that evoke a city capture its soul, architecture, and energy.

Sometimes, all it takes is a hidden corner to connect with its essence. Jardin Sur Le Toit by Hermès reveals a secret garden atop a Parisian rooftop. Created by Jean Claude Ellena, its green and fruity notes portray a hidden urban landscape.

724, by Maison Francis Kurkdjian transports us to New York at dawn. Bright, clean, and fresh, it blends bergamot, aldehydes, and effervescent metallic touches.

Valentino Born in Roma pays homage to the Eternal City with an olfactory duo that reflects contemporary Roman style.

Want to travel through twelve cities by scent? Cities by Contes de Parfum captures the spirit of Agra, Marrakesh, Dubai, Seville, Hydra, Sydney, Positano, Tokyo, Reykjavik, Bilbao, Shanghai, and Salalah.

The allure of the coast

Sun, soft sand, ocean breeze–the coast invites hedonism and tranquility, whether in exotic destinations or Mediterranean coves.

We begin our cruise in Italy with Dolce&Gabbana Light Blue Capri in Love, a summer classic that blends citrus, fig, and green apple to evoke serenity.

On the French Riviera, Dioriviera by Francis Kurkdjian for Dior captures the moment when the sea breeze passes through a pergola of blooming rose bushes and fig trees.

Loewe offers Paula's Ibiza in Eau de Toilette, Eclectic, and Cosmic versions–celebrating summer textures, music, and festivity. All three share a sunny coconut note with a creamy gourmand facet.

Further afield, Isola Verde by Roja Parfums takes us to an imaginary archipelago with citrus, juicy guava, and a hint of tobacco.

And on turquoise beaches, Maldives in a Bottle Ylang Coco 20 by Kayali invites you to unwind with banana blossom, ylang-ylang, white plumeria, and coconut milk.

Sun, soft sand, ocean breeze–the coast invites hedonism and tranquility, whether in exotic destinations or Mediterranean coves.

Untamed nature

Wild nature invites us to lose ourselves in unique landscapes: fresh wind, wood, wet grass, and the murmur of the forest.

Silver Mountain Water by Creed opens a window to the Alps with citrus notes and ozonic accords.

Explorer Extreme by Montblanc captures the thrill of venturing into new terrain. Bergamot and clary sage express strength and energy.

Herbes Troublantes by Guerlain evokes a meadow in the South of France, with thyme, mint, and rosemary delivering freshness and vitality.

From the very first note, Selva do Brazil by Berdoues immerses us in the jungle with green, dewy, and radiant petit grain.

The immensity of the desert

Where sand covers everything, perfume becomes mineral, dry, and enveloping. The desert is excess: sun, earth, ancient civilisations…

The sun sets over the savannah and the air thickens. African Leather by Memo captures that moment with amber, cardamom, saffron, and leather.

Ashore by Amouage evokes the coast of Ras Al Jinz (Oman), where the sea halts and the sand drifts beneath a white light. Jasmine, rose, and a solar accord reflect the mirage.

Desert Dawn by Byredo captures the stillness before the heat, blending Damask rose, pepper, and incense.

Eight & Bob's Egypt takes us back to the 1930s, following an explorer through temples and gardens with citrus, cardamom, nutmeg, and leather.
