As you start packing your suitcase in preparation for your upcoming Euro summer vacay (jealous, pack me in there too?), choosing a summer scent that says: "I'm out of office and busy drinking cocktails by the Greek ocean" is an essential part of yor travel packing checklist.
The great news?
No more making a mad dash to the shops to buy a travel spray bottle then decanting your favourite perfume.
Adore Beauty has a bunch of amazing mini perfumes and mini perfume sets so you can buy one for your carry-on, one for your check-in, one for your day bag and one for your evening wear bag.
Perhaps a third unisex scent to share with your partner…Two birds, one fragrance?
Assuming your holiday destination elicits sunny, warm, fresh and happy vibes, below, you'll find a round up of 6 (or maybe 7) travel-sized perfumes that will be the perfect companions.
Your European summer soirées await!
1. Goldfield & Banks BOHEMIAN LIME Perfume Travel Spray 10ml.
Notes:
Australian Finger lime. Coriander. Haitian Vetiver. Cedarwood. Australian Sandalwood.
A favourite in the Adore Beauty office, Bohemian Lime’s citrusy, woody scent is the perfect mini travel perfume to share with your partner on holiday (if your partner also likes zesty accords with a woody punch).
Spritz this while having dinner by the sea in Santorini.
What's that you ask? "Does Golfield & Banks have a discovery set that you and your partner can share on holiday?"
Of course!
The Goldfield & Banks DISCOVERY COLLECTION (10 x 2ml) featured above, comes with 10 mini captivating scents including your other summer faves: Sunset Hour and a personal fave of mine, Southern Bloom.
Goldfield & Banks use ultra-rare and pure Australian oils, so you're also getting long-lasting quality and a guarantee that your stunning scent will linger all day and night!
2. AERIN Beauty Discovery Mini Kit.
If summer had a scent, it would definitely include one of the floral-centred fragrances in the AERIN Beauty perfume collection.
It's too hard of an ask to cull down to just one mini perfume from the AERIN Beauty wardrobe, (why would you, when you can smell like a different mix of rose, cedar or jasmine each day?) so the most obvious solution would be a mini perfume set.
Lucky for us, AERIN Beauty has made one. (A limited edition one I might add, so we would add this to cart asap).
Perfect to whisk away with you on your Euro vacay.
Whether you you spritz a dash of ‘Amber Musk’ for that wedding in Tuscany, or mark the day by exploring with the captivating, leafy trail of ‘Cedar Violet’ - one of AERIN Beauty's modern floral fragrances is here to accompany you and leave you with some of your most cherished summer scent memories!

3. Juliette Has A Gun Juliette Discovery Set.
Speaking of a perfume mini set for summer holidays, Juliette Has a Gun has curated some of its most delicious summer scents with the 5ml vial inclusion of the best-selling 'Not a Perfume' fragrance.
In my opinion this the best mini perfume set for a Europe vacay if you want a mix of warm and citrusy smells on your holiday.
I have this set myself, and what I’ll do is layer one of the fragrances with Not a Perfume and find it slightly amplifies the secondary scent making it even more strong and captivating.
Also includes your Juliette Has a Gun summer scent faves like Pear Inc (playful and fruity), Musc Invisible (notes of jasmine, cotton flower and white musk) and Lust For Sun (warm, citrusy, coconut florals and musk) to name a few.
4. Marc Jacobs Daisy Ever So Fresh EDP 10ml.
Notes:
- Head: Mango, pineapple, mandarin.
- Heart: Rose water, orange blossom.
- Base: Cashmere woods.
Vibrant, sweet, fruity and floral. If you have a teen or even looking for a fun, playful and fresh but creamy scent for daywear, this is the one to add to cart.
Wear this while shopping and eating in Positano or enjoying a park walk in London.
5. Kayali Vanilla Royale Sugared Patchouli 64 Travel Spray 10ml.
Notes:
- Head: Vanilla orchid, jasmine, golden rum.
- Heart: Vanilla infusion, vanilla surabsolute, tonka bean accord, spicy rose, leather, creme brulee.
- Base: Sugared patchouli, musk, brown sugar, amber, royal oud.
All our vanilla and sweet scent girlies rejoice!
One of the most popular brands for creating standout vanilla fragrances, Kayali has created a warm, rich and decadent scent powered by notes of vanilla, rum, tonka musk and patchouli.
Intoxicating and another perfect travel sized fragrance for a night out, pop her in your bag and top up while traipsing the streets of Paris, Turkey or Greece in your favourite sexy summer dress.
6. Commodity Personal Scent Space Kit.
Ok, I know this isn’t really a typical ‘summer scent’ collection, but for those who want just a dash of summer but prefer to stick to a unique, earthy but still uplifting vibe, this set is for you.
Still alluring enough for the backdrops of Europe, in this Commodity 'Personal' set you will find notes of amber, berries, vanilla and warm marshmellow.
The perfect scents for a drink at dusk in Paris perhaps?
7. who is elijah EDP DISCOVERY SET 10 piece.
OK I'm going to be cheeky and throw another one in for good measure - you're welcome.
While discovery sets are made to help you find your signature scent, I would personally get this one by who is elijah that includes all your faves, and is especially fitting for your European getaway.
From the perfect daywear scent like Eau to your sexy faves like Nomad amd Wall Street, you're guaranteed to be turning heads and scent-slaying every day.
