Summer fragrances to pack for a sun-kissed getaway
@jomalonelondon
As the summer months officially embrace us, there's no better time to indulge in the latest, limited edition perfume offerings. This season, there's a tantalising array of summer fragrances to choose from. Feeling overwhelmed? Let Vogue Singapore's edit be your guide…
Whether you're reaching for an idyllic perfume to stow away in your hand luggage (lucky you!), or simply wishing to be whisked away as you travel in spirit, there's a blend for that. Our favourite scents to usher in a getaway are often inspired by far-flung destinations themselves. There's the joyful floral of Dior's Jasmine des Anges, laced with apricot and honey in a mouthwatering ode to the South of France. Then just as luminous, Diptyque's L'eau des Hespérides takes on the citrus fruits of a mythologised Greek garden through its sparkling scent.
Should you crave a more complex dimension to your holiday spritz, look out for base notes with depth and allure. Jo Malone London's Frangipani Flower Cologne grounds the petal with sandalwood in an embodiment of Balinese beaches. Coastal inspirations are also behind Sol De Janeiro's Dança Mística, embodying sunset-dappled hedonism in Brazil, and Memo Paris' Zante, which layers citrus with Indonesian patchouli and amber. Sultriest of them all, Kayali's Marrakesh in a Bottle is a spice-tinged whirl of orange blossom, Turkish rose and cedarwood—perfect for tapping into your inner femme fatale while abroad.
Without further ado, commence your sojourn through this season's most noteworthy sun-kissed fragrances, below. Courtesy of Dior
1 / 6 Dior Jasmin des Anges Eau de Parfum
Sun-drenched, indeed. There's no other way to describe the gourmand florals of Jasmine des Anges—now available in a limited edition couture case bearing Dior's beloved Toile de Jouy motif. Lace, jasmine, apricot and honey—all coalesce into an olfactory expression of joy that transports you straight to the hinterlands of Nice.

3 / 6 Jo Malone London Frangipani Flower Cologne
Inspired by the frangipani that blooms island-wide across Bali, a few drops of this light and luminous scent evokes tropical beaches immediately. Jasmine petals and fresh lemon usher in its frangipani heart, before landing upon a warm and creamy base of sandalwood. Even if you're not travelling anywhere this summer, consider this your adventure in a bottle.

4 / 6 Sol De Janeiro Dança Mística Perfume Mist
Not all summer sojourns need be languid—and neither do their accompanying perfumes. This limited edition scent from Sol De Janeiro draws upon dancing, samba, passion and movement on the sun-dipped beaches of Búzios, Brazil. As you'd expect, it's a rich amalgamation, swirling together purple fig, lily of the valley, vanilla and sandalwood in a sparkling show of warmth.
Sol De Janeiro Dança Mística Perfume Mist, $39 for 90ml, available at Sephora Memo Paris
5 / 6 Memo Paris Zante Eau de Parfum
Sail away to the cerulean waters of Navagio Beach, Zakynthos, courtesy of this fresh and sensual perfume. Opening with essences of mandarin and bergamot, a heart of neroli, rosemary and lavender takes centre stage before descending into the deeper, alluring earthiness of Indonesian patchouli and amber.
Memo Paris Zante Eau de Parfum, $467 for 75ml, available at Escentials Courtesy of Kayla
6 / 6 Kayali Marrakesh in a Bottle Orange Blossom 24 Eau de Parfum
Feeling in need of some extra attention? Kayali's lingering fragrances are absolute compliment inducers, and not to be missed is their Vacay in a Bottle collection. Our selection is Marrakesh in a Bottle, which stars notes of orange blossom, Turkish rose and cedarwood. The resulting spice-tinged floral carries all the warmth and mystery of a gem-laden souk.

Dior reimagines La D de Dior jewel watch with a 19mm or 25mm mother-of-pearl dial
Since it was launched in 2003, the La D de Dior has become one of the House's emblematic models that is instantly recognisable by its graceful curves and pared-down shape. Image courtesy of Dior. First conceptualised by Victoire de Castellane, the jewel watch reflects the multiple facets of femininity, seen in different materials, colours, and dimensions which was later sublimated in a variation named La D My Dior in 2023. Now, this timepiece is reimagined in new versions, highlighting its unique design and infinite delicacy. Featuring a magnetic interplay of contrasts, the watch is made up of a steel piece enhanced by a gray mother-of-pearl, in 19mm or 25mm, which is equally illuminated by a yellow gold bezel and white mother-of-pearl.

This refined creation is further elevated with a black satin strap or in yellow gold — hand-engraved by the artisans of the Maiso and embellished with diamonds. You can find La D My Dior now at Dior boutiques in Singapore.

Where the winds blow: A decade of Dior's Rose des Vents jewellery collection
In Villa Les Rhumbs, the Granville childhood home of Christian Dior, lies a mosaic compass rose on the grounds of the garden. It's a marine detail that was installed in the 19th century by the house's first owner, a shipowner named Beust. That little detail inspired Victoire de Castellane, the artistic director of Dior Joaillerie, to create the Rose des Vents collection of fine jewellery which celebrates its 10th anniversary this year. 'The compass rose immediately imposes a very pretty notion of a voyage,' explains de Castellane. That is, the creative act of designing jewellery and letting artistic impulses guide her like the wind. In its twinkling decade, the collection has introduced celestial star and moon motifs, talismanic gris-gris lucky charms and lucky star designs that nod to Christian Dior's penchant for superstition. Charmed symbols, chez Christian Dior, adorn Rose des Vents jewels: the collection's namesake eight-pointed compass rose, and garden motifs like roses, lily of the valley, ivy and bees. Photography Tanya & Zhenya Posternak, courtesy of Dior Dior Rose des Vents earrings, ring and necklace. Photography Tanya & Zhenya Posternak, courtesy of Dior Dior Rose des Vents rings. Photography Tanya & Zhenya Posternak, courtesy of Dior These delicate and pretty designs are imbued with a sense of adventure and wayfinding. De Castellane sees the collection as a metaphor for creation. 'To create is to seek, to turn in circles and then to find one's cardinal reference point and set off on a journey' she says. Charmed, happy jewels to find your way home wherever the winds of life take you. The May 2025 'Sonder' edition of Vogue Singapore is available online.
