Fragrance and fashion picks ready for every spontaneous getaway
Here’s a long weekend edit guide from fresh scents to easy summer staples
Long weekends in the summer just hit better. The group chats are suddenly alive, beach plans appear out of nowhere, and even a lazy day at home somehow feels like a mini vacation. Whether you’re heading out for a quick getaway or just leaning into the slow, sunny mood of the season, having the right essentials can make every plan feel a little more fun.
Here are a few picks worth packing, spraying, wearing, or simply having around for the long weekends ahead.
1. A scent that feels like summer freedom
Fresh and energetic, Tommy Eau de Toilette from Tommy Hilfiger blends lavender and citrus with apple and cinnamon at the heart, finishing with a woody patchouli base. It’s the kind of fragrance that feels easy and optimistic—perfect for everyday adventures.
2. Something a little moodier for sunset moments
For late dinners or beachside nights, Moonlight Cherry Eau de Parfum from Van Cleef & Arpels plays with contrast. Cherry meets bitter almond, rum accord, black coffee, vanilla, and musk for a scent that’s rich, intriguing, and just a little indulgent.
3. A crisp, breezy fragrance refresh
Inspired by the vision of Kenzo Takada, L’Eau Pure Eau de Parfum from Kenzo Parfums combines Italian mandarin and lemon with white lavender, musk, and Australian sandalwood. Built around the aquatic molecule Aquozone, it feels like a cool splash of water on a hot day.
4. Bottled sunshine, basically
If summer had a scent, Replica Never-ending Summer Eau de Toilette from Maison Margiela might be it. Think bright citrus layered with bitter orange, vetiver, and spicy ginger—fresh, vibrant, and made for sun-drenched days.
5. An easy polo that still looks put together
From Jack Nicklaus, the Floral Print Polo in Surf Green from its spring-summer 2026 collection delivers relaxed polish with comfort built in. The lightweight design features Topcool moisture-wicking fabric and UV protection, making it perfect for warm days when you still want to look a little sharp.
6. The everyday essential that deserves an upgrade
Even basics can feel better in the heat. The Low-Rise Bikini Brief from Hanes is made with a breathable polyester-cotton blend, a secure low-rise fit, durable seams, and a heat-seal label so nothing gets in the way of all-day comfort.
7. A travel-friendly hair hero
Small but mighty, the Travel Pro Hair Dryer from Babyliss features dual voltage, ionic frizz control, and ceramic technology—ideal for styling your hair whether you’re in a hotel room or getting ready after a swim.
8. Hydration that keeps skin glowing
Skincare from Filorga helps keep things fresh and radiant. The Optim-Eyes 3-in-1 eye contour cream and Optim-Eyes Sheet Mask revive tired-looking eyes, while Meso-Mask enhances glow. Hydra-Hyal Serum and Hydra-Hyal Cream complete the routine with layered hydration.
9. Sunscreen—but make it glow
For sun protection with a luminous twist, Sun Tanning Oil Gold SPF50 from Nuxe delivers broad-spectrum protection while leaving skin with a subtle golden radiance.
