An Italian Riviera port, and an elegant destination since the 1800s. The crescent cove of pastel houses and domed churches is backed by pines and olive groves. Warm orange-leaf top notes encapsulate Mediterranean finesse, while rich leather brings a sense of comfort.

Once the capital of Imperial Japan and still a cultural centre, with Buddhist temples, zen gardens and cherry blossom in spring. Away from the bustle, in secluded gardens, tranquil spas create havens of peace. A trail of amber incense in the air with rich oud, the perfumers’ liquid gold, layered through with its deep, woody tones.

Imagine being out on a blissful Mediterranean coastline, the scent of zesty lemon trees in the air. Sparkling neroli is layered with delicate jasmine and has a warming cedarwood base note. For those who wish to transport their senses to an idyllic Italian summer, Amalfi Lemon will take you there.

In Santa Rosa, a trio of rich florals – tuberose, orris and jasmine – are rounded out by the gentle musk of cashmere woods. It’s an uplifting scent that takes you to California in the early evening, with the windows thrown open to the warm air.
