Bombshell St. Tropez

Smells like the turquoise waters and tropical botanicals lining the French Riviera. This luminous, lively fragrance combines a luscious rush of rare pink pineapple with sun-soaked coastal peony and radiant musk for an illuminating glow. Pair this summer scent with loose linens, a straw purse, and oversized sunnies to fully channel that vacationing-in-France feel.  

From the Perfumer: “I wanted this fragrance using a solar signature infused with floral facets that effortlessly transports you to that dream destination.” – VP Perfumer, Patricia Hidalgo

Bombshell Santorini

Smells like the bright, breathtaking coastline and salty-sweet air of the Greek islands. This aquatic, creamy scent mixes a renewing ocean breeze with paradisiacal coastal peony and a smooth breath of salted vanilla. Pair this summer perfume with a bright white sundress and strappy flats to channel a laid-back feel. 

From the Perfumer: “We crafted a blend of luscious vanilla, rounded musk, and the salty essence of skin to evoke the timeless allure of a coastal paradise.” – Perfumer, Carolina Dumur  

Bombshell Amalfi

Smells like la dolce vita: the citrusy, sensual essence of southern Italy. This refreshing blend features a vibrant burst of sun-kissed tangerine intertwined with the floral radiance of coastal peony as well as rich, sophisticated solar driftwood for added warmth. Pair this summer scent with colorful prints and comfortable sandals to embrace an effortlessly elegant, Italian feel.  

From the Perfumer: “This fragrance was inspired by the tantalizing scent of tangerines. These sun-ripened fruits became a tribute to the zest for life found in every corner of the coast.” – Perfumer, Jacques Huclier
