As much as a scent can unlock a long-kept memory, it can also whisk us away to a faraway land and even places we have never been with a single whiff. It pretty much explains why wearing fragrance is the daily dose of self-indulgence for most of us when the world was on lockdown &mdash; we needed reminders of the beautiful things in life.
Those were days when escapism was needed most yet the neighbourhood grocery store was the furthest to venture, and wearing fragrance has then truly evolved into a personal act of self-care to feel optimistic and inspired.
<div>While every fragrance holds the unique power to whisk us through time and space, there are scents designed solely to transport you on a journey to faraway destinations &mdash; be it calmness or adventure that you&rsquo;re seeking.&nbsp;Whether you&rsquo;re missing the memories of a runaway, dreaming of a paradise or looking for a scent for your next vacation, follow your nose to where your heart is.</div>
