The light, warm fragrance is intended to evoke the feeling of the LA sky. The sherbet-pink sunsets of California are also mimicked in the bottle, designed by LA artist Alex Israel. $265 (100ml).

A freewheeling beach party in Ibiza

Paula’s Ibiza by Loewe

This balmy eau de toilette is part of Loewe’s collaboration with the iconic Ibiza shop famous for its must-have hippie prints. Housed in a rainbow ombré bottle, it layers coconut water, zingy galbanum and Madagascan mandarin oils on wood, frangipani and vanilla. A base of ambergris and patchouli gives it some of that authentic Ibiza spirit. It’ll take you back to sultry summer evenings on the beach — minus the hangover. €85 (50ml).

La vie en rose in Paris

Eau Capitale by Diptyque

A Caribbean sea breeze in Antigua

Gardénia Antigua by Armani Privé

Island getaways may be off the cards for now, but Giorgio Armani’s got you covered. This floral musk scent is inspired by his holiday home on the coral reef-ringed island of Antigua.
