Try: Tom Ford Metallique, $195
Like the dazzling fountains and world's tallest building in the middle of the desert, Metallique is an opulent study in contrasts: Crisp, yet warm and woody. Let the intoxicating notes of heliotrope and ambrette seed wash over you like the heat (and the luxury) of Dubai.
Try: Diptyque Eau de Minthé Eau de Parfum, $175
Santorini, Mykonos, Crete... these names evoke dramatic landscapes, lively taverns and rich history. Eau de Minthé is a crisp scent inspired by a Greek myth, with dramatic patchouli for depth and geranium for a lively floral note.
Try: Tocca Eau de Parfum Gia, $76
This perfume is inspired by none other than artist Georgia O'Keefe, who's known for her dramatic New Mexico landscapes. If you were drawn to the adobes of Santa Fe this summer and escaped the heat in Carlsbad caverns, look no further than the passionate Turkish rose aroma lifted with tangerine in this lovely new fragrance.
Try: Miu Miu L'Eau Rosée Eau de Toilette, $107
Some say the most beautiful rose gardens in the world are in Butchart Gardens in Victoria, along with castles, the fisherman's wharf, and a postcard-perfect downtown. L'eau Rosee is a soft and fresh floral, with blackcurrant and rose and a more sophisticated musk.
