When I was 17, my final high school English assessment was to critically analyze the idea that one could feel connected to the notion of a place, that physical surroundings could foster a sense of belonging. The work I specifically analyzed was a poem by Robert Frost titled The Tuft of Flowers<\/em>, where two people who have never met in the flesh are connected by tending to the same garden. Once aware of the other layers of that experience had by someone else, the narrator says, \u201cI worked henceforth not alone.\u201d<\/p>\n

Our experiences of place, even when not contiguous, connect us to each other as well.<\/p>\n

My takeaways were somewhat provincial, but I still managed to grasp the idea that where you are, or where you come from, can alter the way you see the world. It\u2019s something that\u2019s stayed with me well into adulthood, where travel and discovering new places have been defining factors in everything I do (until the pandemic, that is).<\/p>\n

Years of my life are now marked by trips I\u2019ve taken, wardrobe items are linked to the country of purchase and I spend hours in my kitchen at home trying to re-create flavors experienced abroad. This intrinsic idea of place is something that\u2019s also saturated my career as a beauty editor.<\/p>\n

Brands and products are so often inextricably linked to the story of where they come from. Just look at the French pharmacy, K-Beauty, native Australian skincare ingredients, and so much more.
\nIt\u2019s never been more appropriate to find a sense of place through beauty \u2014 experiencing the world through fragrances, ingredients, rituals, and sensations. It feels especially relevant, as we emerge with not a small amount of timidity towards the idea of travel in a post-pandemic world and everything that it may entail.<\/p>\n

So, we\u2019ve put together a world map of a different kind, one that looks at places via products, whether it\u2019s a perfectly Parisian bath, a zesty citrus scent that captures all the light of the Amalfi in a single spritz, or an 800-year-old fragrance hand made by Italian monks in the world\u2019s oldest pharmacy.<\/p>\n

We can\u2019t travel, but we can have tiny pieces of the world in our bathroom vanity, and I think that\u2019s special. Your journey awaits…<\/p>\n

COSTA BRAZIL KAYA JUNGLE FIRMING BODY OIL<\/h4>\n

Fashion industry veteran Francisco Costa was born in Brazil, but didn\u2019t actually experience the Amazon Rainforest until 2016. He spent months immersed in its beauty and in the process learnt local healing rituals and the untapped wealth of curative native ingredients. The amalgamation of his experience was Costa Brazil, a sustainably produced beauty brand that feels considered but incredibly chic. Our pick is the Kaya Jungle Firming Body Oil, a superlative blend of kaya, cacay, breu branco, tucuma seed, Brazil nut, buriti, and cupua\u00e7u to smooth the body and nourish the mind.

KORRES GREEK YOGHURT PROBIOTIC SUPERDOSE FACE MASK<\/h4>\n

With its sapphire sea, brutish (but beautiful) landscape, and sweeping views, nothing quite possesses the physical impact of the Greek Islands. Somewhere between the tiny white villages and rocky peaks, Korres was born \u2014 a brand that pays homage to ancient Grecian beauty rituals. The offering is vast, but our pick is the Korres Greek Yoghurt Probiotic Superdose Face Mask, a gentle resurfacing treatment that will soothe and hydrate better than anything this side of the Cyclades. Just slather onto clean skin, leave for 20 minutes and rinse. It\u2019s not a sunset Assyrtiko in Santorini, but the afterglow is the same.

TOM FORD MANDARINO DI AMALFI<\/h4>\n

Bronzed limbs, salty hair, languid afternoons spent dipping in and out of the Tyrrhenian Sea. Few have captured the brilliance of the Italian Coast quite like Tom Ford. Mandarino Di Amalfi specifically is light, luminous and inviting, just like the Costa Amalfitana itself. A sunny blend of jasmine, orange blossom, grapefruit and mint, it\u2019s the olfactive incarnation of the European summer many of us (sadly) are not having: the precariously steep drive down the cliff, endless scoops of gelato and too many glasses of local wine at Da Adolfo. Proof that scent has the power to take us places… even if just for a moment.

LIHA BEAUTY IDAN OIL<\/h4>\n

In Nigeria, it\u2019s tradition to extract oils from local nuts, barks, and plants to create nourishing soaps and elixirs. These rituals and learnings are what informed Liha Beauty, a Black-owned brand that\u2019s staked a claim within Net-A-Porter\u2019s beauty offering. At the heart of Liha is the Idan Oil, a delicious blend of cold-pressed coconut oil and tuberose flower. Aside from smelling like a sun-drenched exotic vacation, it nourishes from top to toe. Smooth it onto hair and massage into the body for silken, glistening limbs.

Just two hours from the bustle of London are The Cotswolds, a place of rolling hills, quaint cottages, and pastoral clich\u00e9s as far as the eye can see. Yet, it\u2019s a world we desperately yearn for: one of chunky cardigans, cobbled streets, and freshly cut flowers. Thankfully, Jo Malone has captured the pure magic in scent form: English Pear & Freesia Cologne. This fragrance feels light and chic and quintessentially English: Think clean laundry, ripe fruit, and early-morning dewdrops clinging to flower petals.

\nUMA OILS PURE CALM WELLNESS OIL<\/h4>\n

Ayurveda is an ancient form of Indian medicine that puts a great deal of importance on the mind-body connection. It is not just a science but a philosophy for living, whereby our beauty and health are rooted in the balance between our physical, spiritual, and emotional selves (along with our physical surroundings). Uma Oils is a modern Indian beauty brand built around the principles of Ayurveda, using the finest essential oils from the family-owned Uma Estate in Central India. A ritual worth partaking in is an Ayurvedic foot massage using the Pure Calm Wellness Oil, a soothing blend of chamomile, vetiver, jasmine and clary sage. In Ayurvedic tradition, the feet are considered organs of action, so gently apply it to the soles, heels, and the thin skin between the toes.

It\u2019s late at night in the Algerian Desert and there\u2019s a cool breeze moving across the Mascara Coast. It cuts through the thick air, offering temporary respite from the desert heat. It also carries a fragrance \u2014 a heady blend of mint, ginger, clove, tea and tobacco. It\u2019s fresh but deep; light but dark. A tribute to the Ouled Na\u00efl tribe, Cire Trudon\u2019s Abd El Kader candle is like a shimmering mirage in scent form.

\nSANTA MARIA NOVELLA ACQUA DI SANTA MARIA NOVELLA<\/h4>\n

Farmaceutica di Santa Maria Novella in Florence is thought to be the oldest pharmacy in the world. It dates back to 1221 when a group of monks started experimenting with herbs and flowers, turning the Monastery into an apothecary of sorts (it even produced herbal treatments designed to treat the Bubonic Plague). In the 16th century, the Queen of France commissioned the monks to create a fragrance in her honor resulting in Acqua di Santa Maria Novella: a light, watery scent that smells distinctly of Italian citrus. The tiny piece of Florence (and French royalty) is still available for purchase today. Ciao Bella!

Few transpose the romantic ideals of Paris quite like Herm\u00e8s. Born in the French capital, it embodies all the intricacies the city is known for: luxury, quality and a keen eye for artistic detail. The house ushered in its Beaute M\u00e9tier earlier this year, giving us all a tiny piece of Paris in the form of Rouge Herm\u00e8s, a high fashion take on the humble lipstick. Now at the turn of seasons, we\u2019ve been presented with an ephemeral curation of three limited shades: Rose Ombr\u00e9, Rose Pommette and Rose Nuit. Inspired by fine art, the trio all play with the color pink… how perfectly Parisian of them.

PERFECT BY MARC JACOBS<\/h4>\n

John F. Kennedy once said that most cities are nouns, whereas New York is a verb. It\u2019s dynamic, electric, gritty but hopeful. It\u2019s got its own pulse, an electric current that vibrates through each and every person within it. For Marc Jacobs, growing up in such a place has played a formative part in his career, one that\u2019s been as diverse and colourful as the city itself. His latest fragrance, Perfect by Marc Jacobs, is the Big Apple bottled: a clash of bright flowers, juicy fruit and softer, deeper, more complicated notes. But most importantly, it\u2019s a celebration of originality, quirkiness, and the perfection of being imperfect.

Of all the far-flung destinations, none are tied to beauty quite like Korea. It\u2019s the birthplace of snail mucin and 10-step routines, all in the name of a complexion that\u2019s glassy, bouncy and seemingly poreless. K-Beauty products are in no short supply, but Sulwhasoo\u2019s First Care Activating Serum is in
\na league of its own. Since launch, it\u2019s sold two trillion units thanks to the signature JAUM Balancing ComplexTM \u2014 five herbs perfectly combined to nourish, calm and hydrate the skin.

Every year come June, Provence\u2019s sprawling farmlands turn a striking shade of purple as the lavender blooms. With its scent \u2014 soft, delicate, clean \u2014 suspended in the air, a blue-ish haze falls over the provincial town (blue magic, as it\u2019s affectionately referred). The resulting crops are picked and packed, shipped internationally so the rest of the world can enjoy a tiny piece of Provence at home. Luckily for us, L\u2019Occitane has done the legwork, infusing the French flower into its Foaming Bath. Lights dimmed, jazz on, red Bordeaux in hand… who needs a vacation anyway?
