If I could take my entire perfume collection with me when I travel/go on vacation, life would be so much easier. It’d make narrowing down the scents I plan to take with me so much easier. We’re road trippin’ to Panama City Beach so I benefit from not having to worry about TSA restrictions. But I also don’t want to have to deal with overpacking and possibly leaving something behind.

My favorite scents for summer are I Love Choo by Jimmy Choo and Cheirosa ’62 by Sol de Janeiro without a doubt. But knowing me, I know I’m going to want a little more variety. I know I’m going to wake up one of those mornings wanting to smell like something completely different. When going to the beach, I wear Olympea to blend in with that sweet and salty smell. If we make plans to grab a quick lunch, I’m grabbing Coach’s Dreams Sunset or Irresistible by Givenchy because I also want to smell like the sweet, fruity drink I’m more than likely going to buy. Casually shopping? Sweet gourmands and soft, noticeable scents like Valentino’s Voce Viva, Kay Ali’s VANILLA | 28, or Ellis Brooklyn’s Sweet. But when I packed my train case, it was entirely too heavy. So although these are my summer favorites, I’m only leaving with 4: I Love Choo, Cheirosa ’62, Voce Viva and Eilish by Billie Eilish.

My train case is still heavy as hell, but I feel a bit lighter. And those 4 will have to suffice.
