Fashion house Proenza Schouler released its first fragrance earlier this year and it was inspired by the designers' travels to The Grand Canyon State and includes notes of white cactus flower — the first EDP to contain this note — along with creamy orris. It smells like sweet desert sunshine.
Let's not leave the desert just yet. Phlur Moab is an EDP, crafted by perfumer Ralf Schweiger, that was inspired by the vast openness of Moab, Utah, arguably one of the most beautiful locations in the entire United States. It contains notes of spicy long pepper, earthy clove, sweet jasmine and warm vanilla and tonka bean.
On the opposite side of the travel spectrum is Smell Bent's St. Tropez Dispenser, which will immediately transport you to the vibrant blue beaches of France's charming coastal town. It smells exactly like a luxurious day spent at the beach via coconut, aloe, jasmine and soft musk.
While we're in France, we ought to make a pitstop in the world's most romantic city, Paris. Yves Saint Laurent's Mon Paris evokes Parisian sensuality via vibrant notes of strawberry and raspberry, the warmth of bergamot, ambrox and cedarwood, and a hint of sweetness a la orange blossoms, jasmin sambanc and white peony.
Next up on this whirlwind tour around the globe is a visit to a Mediterranean flower garden via Hermes' Un Jardin en Mediterranee. Launched in 2003, it's one of the more established fragrances in this lineup but remains one of the brand's most popular scents. It was inspired by a paradise-like Tunisian garden and features notes of fig leaves, cypress, citrus and oleander.
