Read our privacy notice . Encircling yourself in fresh fruity, floral or warming fragrances should not be reserved simply for home soil. When you’re heading on a far-flung break – be it a city exploration or beach sojourn – many of us leave our aromas behind and there’s a very understandable reason why.
It’s not always easy to travel with an eau de parfum. Your signature scent is rarely encased in a flacon that is under 100ml and so, is traditionally not hand luggage friendly. Even when it is or you’re checking in a bag, there is always the fear of the glass bottle shattering, resulting in the precious elixir dampening your clothing rotation.
But scent is a powerful tool to mark an occasion and will be an olfactory reminder that triggers memories of your time off when you return to the repetitiveness of the nine-to-five. The slight whiff of the combination of notes will send you back and reignite those feelings of calm or adventure. So, what’s the solution? You can find a travel fragrance that will slot easily into your one see-through bag or you can explore the world of perfume atomisers and decant your scent of choice.
