These 16 Perfumes Smell Like Vacation, so I'm Wearing Them at Home

Escape to: Monaco

Lemon, mandarin, and orange might not sound like notes typically found in Chanel's fragrance library, but this new-world take on the ubiquitous Chanel N°5 is meant to surprise you a little.

Escape to: Miami

This vibrant scent is the kind you wear on a warm night with that dress that hugs your curves in all the right places. At first, the top notes of citron, pear sorbet, and bergamot take center stage, but it's not long before the accent of neroli and lingering notes of ambery woods, palo santo, and musk come into play.

Escape to: Capri

This clean fragrance is like summer in a bottle. Its notes of bergamot, neroli, grapefruit, and blood orange envelop the senses with a sweet and zesty vigor.

Escape to: Tokyo

With just one spritz, the scent sends you on an olfactory experience akin to skipping through a sprawling citrus grove. It's a fresh and fruity experience, bringing in grapefruit, green mandarin, Florida orange, Italian lemon, tamarind, and clementine.

Escape to: Malibu
Bergamot, pink pepper, and lemon mixed with soft florals, coconut milk, and woody goodness? Yeah, it's good. Close your eyes and drift, friends.

Escape to: Windsor

This softer take on a crisp citrus scent is just divine. It combines soft lotus flower and freesia with sparkling citrus notes and hints of precious woods.

Escape to: Ubud

It doesn't get much cooler than this chic, clean fragrance. It's spicy, zesty, sweet, and woody all at once, with star anise, bergamot, and cedar. And don't let the name fool you—you'll love wearing this one all year (especially during summer).

Escape to: Sardinia

I bought this decadent scent as a gift for my fiancé, but I routinely steal spritzes of it for myself. Its citrus element is subtle. Its notes of juniper, herbs, green notes, oak, and warm woods can read fresher or even spicier, but there's no denying the crisp, lemony zing.

Escape to: Positano

After you get past the initial musk first emitted from this bottle, a brawny blend of lemon, chinotto, and blood orange emerges to create a perfectly bitter citrus situation.

Escape to: Morocco

This tangy scent will just about make your mouth water. Smelling it is just like taking a bit of juicy pink pomelo.

Escape to: Maui

This complex scent combines all the best summertime fare: mandarin, lemon, neroli, jasmine sambac, cotton candy, and musk. It truly smells how a warm day spent sipping sweet cocktails feels.

Escape to: Melbourne

I love a small-batch, clean fragrance line. This intoxicating mixture of rose, bergamot, clary sage, lemon, sandalwood, and vetiver makes for an uplifting scent story that's both sweet and spicy. 

Escape to: Sedona

This straight-up citrus spritz is so crisp and spicy. It has bergamot (obviously), grapefruit, petitgrain, orange blossom, cedarwood, vetiver, and musk.

Escape to: Paris

A true botanical experience, this luxe oil immediately imparts grapefruit, cedarwood, and patchouli for a juicy, herbaceous scent. 

Escape to: Mexico City

Unlike some of the strikingly clean and fresh scents presented on this list, this sweet scent is decidedly more airy. 

Escape to: Joshua Tree

I'll just come out and say it: The smell of this peppery, citrus fragrance might inspire you to listen to Grateful Dead. It's smoky, spicy, herbaceous, and completely bluntastic.
