Holiday Fragrances With Fragrance Lounge
This week we focus on holiday fragrances. “When I think of vacationing in the tropics I always look for a fragrance that finds the perfect balance between something fresh and something sweet,” says Matthew Milèo, founder of Milèo and former in-house beauty and fragrance expert at Chanel. “One that will also hold up well to the heat and humidity—you’re probably going to sweat, but that doesn’t mean you want to stink. The fragrance needs to be strong enough to banish BO, and still remain breezy fresh throughout the vacation.”
The open mountain air should inspire one to wear a relaxing earthy scent that may also double as a protectant—woody notes are highly meditative during nature walks while keeping the insects at bay. Think sandalwood, agarwood, greenheart wood, cypress, and cedarwood as well as green notes like violet leaf, geranium absolute. These “zen” notes tend to be found in unisex fragrances and can be shared with the ones around you regardless of gender.
The Mediterranean is known for its deep blue oceans, white architecture, colourful sunsets, and fresh, salty air. There is a chic casualness about it—maybe because it’s a destination for friends and lovers. I don’t think anyone goes here alone, and if they did, they certainly aren’t leaving alone. Wearing a scent that is fresh yet captivating works best here. Nothing florally intense or heady.
Always bring multiple fragrances because you never know what to expect in a big city, but if you must choose one let it be a gourmand fragrance. Thick, big city air is more polluted and humid than the open-air destinations on the list of destinations. There is also huge olfactory competition when it comes to the number of restaurants, bakeries, and candy stores that there are in such a small amount of space, so your fragrance has to compete with all of that, among other people’s fragrances, and nothing does it better than a sweet and spicy oriental floral.”
