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 style="text-align: justify;">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>

Loewe Paula’s Ibiza Eclectic

LOEWE PAULA&rsquo;S IBIZA ECLECTIC
Inspired by a party island that never sleeps, Paula&rsquo;s Ibiza Eclectic by Loewe is like a fruity cocktail under a warm night sky. It opens with a burst of mandarin and pepper; after that, you get to enjoy coconut, vanilla, ylang-ylang and jasmine sambac. The amber floral scent lingers thanks to Australian sandalwood and musk.

Diptyque Do Son

DIPTYQUE DO SON
If Diptyque&rsquo;s Tam Dao is for those who stay, then Do Son is for those who sail. With tuberose, orange blossom and jasmine, it brings its wearer on a sentimental journey to the island landscape of Ha Long Bay &mdash; think sunset, turquoise waters, marine breeze and salty air ushered in by the Indochina Sea.
