"Mayan incense, rising from age-old temples. Lashes of sea spray and whiffs of the jungle where the jaguar lurks... Copal Azur exhales the lush, spiritual vibes of sacred Tulum." --aedes.com

Wish You Were Here - When it comes to capturing the essence of a place, these perfumes definitely trump a postcard.

En Provencal Air
PERFUME -- Aerin Rose de Grasse ($185, aerin.com) is a classic rose perfume after a cleanse - still reassuringly floral but with soft, dewy notes.
PLACE -- Creative director Aerin Lauder took her inspiration from rose fields on the outskirts of Grasse, France, which is known as the perfume capital of the world.

London Calling
PERFUME -- Jo Malone London Lily of the Valley & Ivy ($65, jomalone.com) balanced its delicate namesake notes with a touch of earthy narcissus.
PLACE -- Conjuring a time and a location, this scent is meant to evoke the gentility of London during the Georgian era.

Mayan Ritual
PERFUME -- Warm, sexy, and somehow still fresh, Aedes de Venustas Copal Azur ($245, barneys.com) blends a salty marine accord with smoky incense.
PLACE -- Aedes de Venustas cofounder Karl Bradl got the idea for the scent while cycling through Tulum, Mexico, a boho-chic seaside town where locals burn copal, the Mayan incense made from local tree resin.

Caribbean Queen
PERFUME -- Tommy Bahama Island Life for Her ($78, tommybahama.com) is the virgin daiquiri of fragrances: a sweet mix of pear, peach blossom, and vanilla that's impossible not to like.
PLACE -- Perfumer Frank Voelke wanted to bottle the essence of living the good life - on a lush and tranquil Bahamian island, obvi.

Java Script
PERFUME -- Memo Paris Kedu ($250, memofragrances.com) has notes of grapefruit and freesia, but the true star is sweet-yet-toasty sesame.
PLACE -- The surprising blend captures the spirit of Kedu, a lush volcanic plain in Java, Indonesia, that's home to the famous Borobudur Buddhist temple, where monks traditionally burn sesame seeds to purify their souls.
