Getaway fragrances for your staycation state of mind

If the only thing on your calendar is “reply to emails” and “fold the laundry,” but your soul is craving sun-soaked adventures and iced drinks with umbrellas—this one’s for you.

Because sometimes, your nose can get there before your passport.

According to the Sense of Smell Institute (yep, that’s a thing), scent is the most emotionally powerful sense we have—able to transport us to a memory, mood, or magical place faster than any plane ticket.

So if a real vacation is out of the question, here are Wicked Good’s most wanderlust-inducing fragrances to help you escape... even if you’re stuck in your inbox.

Beach Bonfire

Smells like: salty air, toasted marshmallow, beach hair, and stargazing
This scent is a summer night by the fire. A warm blend of sun-bleached driftwood, melted marshmallow, and sea spray makes this one perfect for when you want your soul to smell like it just kissed someone after a beach bonfire.
Perfect for: early evenings, cozy reads, or reminding you of that one wild night in ’09.

Bold move: layer with Sea Salt + Sage to lean into the oceanic vibes.

Casa Pacifica

Smells like: a fresh breeze through a coastal cliffside bungalow
Inspired by the West Coast lifestyle, Casa Pacifica is crisp, clean, and endlessly cool. Think eucalyptus groves, California citrus trees, and a soft mist rolling off the ocean.
Perfect for: your afternoon iced matcha ritual or adding a little “chill” to your Zoom vibe.

Try this: spritz on the ends of your beach waves for a scent moment with every hair flip.

Sea Salt + Sage

Smells like: a seaside spa retreat and a minimalist Airbnb in Big Sur
This one’s for the salty souls and green thumbs. Sea Salt + Sage dance together like fog over tidepools. Clean, herbaceous, and grounding.
Perfect for: mental decluttering, yoga mat mornings, or pretending your living room isn’t full of unfolded laundry.

Layer it with: Bonfire Beach for an earthy-meets-smoky coastal scent cocktail.

LA

Smells like: brunch in L.A., with bottomless mimosas and big sunglasses
Feminine without being fussy, this floral-forward blend of rose, lychee, and white musk smells like glossy lips and sunlit confidence.
Perfect for: throwing on a linen dress, turning your camera off, and online shopping flights you won’t book.

Bonus points: spritz your sheets with it for dreamier dreams.

Pacific Mythic

Smells like: the Pacific Northwest meets fantasy novel
A little moody. A little magical. This one’s a layered daydream with woodsy base notes, foggy florals, and a bit of mysterious smoke.
Perfect for: writers, wanderers, and the "I might move to Oregon this year" girlies.

Power tip: Add to pulse points before journaling to enter your ✨ main character era.

Valencia

Smells like: citrus groves, Mediterranean sunshine, and fresh white linen
Bright, effervescent, and ridiculously refreshing, Valencia is a citrus-lover's dream. It makes your whole day feel lighter.
Perfect for: early mornings, citrus season, or manifesting joy through scent.

Want more sparkle? Layer it with Wild Fig + Cassis to sweeten the sunshine.

Bonus Tip: Create Your Own Fragrance Passport

Instead of choosing just one summer scent, build a scent wardrobe. Think of it like packing a carry-on:

• Day scent: something citrusy or aquatic like Casa Pacifica or Valencia

• Night scent: go cozy or sultry like Bonfire Beach or Melrose Place

• Mood scent: pick a wild card—whatever makes you feel something
