For the time being, you will unfortunately have to make do with substitute travel deals: As a consolation, there are also fragrances for “Fragranistas” which, according to the perfumers in charge, are supposed to evoke specific places.
“Chicago High” by Jan Vilhelm Ahlgren’s brand Vilhelm Parfumerie is not just a spatial, but also a journey through time: to Chicago in the 1920s (if you think of the famous elevated underground Bahn-Ringlinie in the city thinks, fortunately wrong “the Loop” you don’t have to watch the escape from a perfume bottle), which is why it should be smoky, caramel and fruity here.
Well, Vilhelm fragrances are at least always a feast for the eyes, that starts with the elaborately designed graphics on the cardboard box. After a few whiskey, one could argue again whether “Chicago High” is the best long-distance ticket substitute.
But, oh! “Eau Capitale” by Diptyque: Anyone who happened to be standing next to Catherine Deneuve in a theater foyer without any oppressive fans (this is also possible in Paris) will imagine that she could have smelled her. This rose force by Olivier Pescheux (with a little pepper, citrus notes, lots of patchouli) is Parisian elegance “en un mot”. A little old-fashioned, not cumbersome, pleasant, but not completely straightforward. Bientôt, Paris, bientôt until then we’ll sniff you!
