Choosing the right fragrance for your trip
Written by Glenn Lauritz Andersson & Denis Vasilije, fragrance experts
When choosing a fragrance for your trip, think about the memories it will create long after the journey ends. Scent and memory are closely linked, and using a unique fragrance while travelling helps bring those feelings back into everyday life. Also consider your destination – some fragrances perform better on warm skin, others in cooler air.
Summary
-
Choose a fragrance associated with positive memories that makes you feel comfortable even after the trip.
-
Consider destination and climate – lighter, fresher scents suit warm weather, while richer notes work better in colder environments.
-
Use travel sprays or smaller bottles so you can bring your favourite scent in your carry-on luggage.
Many of us explore new cities during long weekends. Travelling with carry-on luggage means choosing smaller bottles, and travel atomisers are ideal for bringing any scent you like while keeping the original bottle safe at home. Fresh, classic fragrances work particularly well in urban environments.
On a sun holiday
In warmer climates, crisp citrus fragrances are a classic choice. Notes such as orange, bergamot and lemon enhance the holiday mood and evoke a refreshing Mediterranean feel.
Marine notes like sea, air and citrus are particularly popular in warm weather, capturing freshness, energy and summer vibes.
On a ski trip
Cold temperatures cause top notes to fade faster, so citrus and light florals lose intensity. Opt for richer fragrances with woods, spices and dried fruits in the heart and base – perfect for evenings and après-ski.
