Our best tips for packing and travelling light, wherever you go.
To travel is to escape, to awaken the senses, to cultivate curiosity and to discover new horizons.
Whether it’s for a family trip, a romantic getaway, a business trip or a more exotic adventure, taking your favourite fragrances with you wherever you go can help enhance every moment.
Choosing the right fragrance, knowing how to apply it for a lasting effect, and packing it safely while respecting in-flight regulations can feel like a challenge…
Discover all our expert tips for travelling with your fragrances, hassle-free:
1. Choosing Your Travel Fragrances
Before you leave, select fragrances in travel-size formats, such as small 10 ml bottles, minis, sample sets, or 50 ml bottles, which are permitted in the cabin. Choose perfumes that align with the destination and the season: fresh, light notes for hot climates, more enveloping accords for cooler or colder climates.
2. How to Pack Them
Elegant but fragile, perfume bottles, often made of glass, are not the best travel companions… unless you take a few precautions. To avoid leaks or breakage, opt for a padded carrying case, specially designed to protect your favourite fragrances.
A little tip: before screwing the cap back on, place a transparent plastic film over the neck of the bottle. This simple gesture limits the risk of leakage into your toiletry bag, even in the event of pressure variations.
3. Cabin Rules
In the cabin, liquids must be carried in containers of no more than 100 ml, for a total of no more than 1,000 ml. All must be placed in a transparent, resealable, easily accessible plastic bag.
Prepare this bag before you arrive at the security checkpoint. You’ll save time and avoid last-minute searches that can delay your passage.
4. Perfume & Travel: The Art of Discretion
Travelling with a perfume means taking a bit of home with you, a reassuring olfactory signature. But in enclosed spaces (planes, trains, public transport), subtlety is essential. Apply your fragrance sparingly: one or two sprays on pulse points (wrists, neck, elbows) are enough to fully enjoy it, without bothering those around you.
A tip to consider: hair perfume. Lighter, it delicately diffuses your scent with every movement, while respecting the sensitivity of other passengers.
5. How to Store Them
To preserve the quality of your fragrance, keep it away from light, heat and humidity. These elements can alter its composition and scent. A cool, dark drawer or cupboard is the best place for your perfumes.
We’ve rounded up the team’s can’t-live-without fragrances for the summer – those that linger on our skin, spark conversation, and make us feel like our most confident selves. More than just a scent, they are our daily rituals, mood lifters, and secret signatures.

OUR FRAGRANCE OBSESSIONS FOR SUMMER
SIMON Founder & President – Etiket HQ, Montreal
“I love this scent for summer because it’s soft, warm, and quietly confident. Mojave Ghost Absolu from Byredo isn’t loud or trying too hard. It has this beautiful balance of creamy woods and sheer florals that reminds me to slow down, breathe, and enjoy the moment. It’s like a deep exhale on a hot summer’s day. Familiar, comforting, and just mysterious enough to keep people leaning in to say…. ‘what are you wearing?”‘
JULES Makeup Coordinator – Etiket Toronto
“My summer is all about rays of light, drops of nectar, and cradles of lawn. To me, that’s best captured in Atelier Materi’s Narcisse Taiji, which scent-wise falls somewhere between Ghibli animated waters and overpriced shampoo. It’s bright and fluttery but still tranquil, like a quiet giggle between lovers on a picnic blanket. Smell it and think of her.”
STEVE VP Operations – Etiket Montreal
“I love Pacific Rock Moss from Goldfield & Banks Australia for summer because it’s just so effortlessly fresh. It’s that laid-back, beachy vibe without being too casual. I love the crisp marine notes, a touch of citrus, and that salty breeze feeling. It’s perfect for those hot days when you want to stay cool and sharp but still easygoing. Honestly, it’s one of those scents that makes me think of vacation even if I am making deliveries for our amazing customers!”
JENNY Fragrance Specialist – Etiket Toronto
“Menthe Fraîche from Heeley Parfums is an absolute breath of fresh air—literally! This scent beautifully captures the essence of summer with its vibrant, crisp, and invigorating notes. The fresh minty aroma feels light and uplifting, making it the perfect companion for warm, sunny days. It’s both cooling and refreshing, evoking the feeling of a gentle breeze on a hot afternoon. Lovely and effortlessly elegant, Menthe Fraîche adds a touch of natural beauty to your summer vibe. If you’re looking for a scent that’s bright, cheerful, and absolutely refreshing, this one is a true gem!”
GENEVIÈVE Customer Experience Specialist – Etiket HQ, Montreal
“This summer, I’m reaching for Palm EDP by Heeley Parfums and BoraBora EDP by Giardini di Toscana – two totally different moods, both equally dreamy. Palm is my ‘sunny stroll under the palms’ scent: fresh, breezy, and effortlessly cool. When I’m craving something a little sweeter, BoraBora brings the vacation vibes with creamy coconut and soft florals – like a beachy dessert in a bottle. Basically, I’m summering in scent!”
MARIANNE Fragrance Coordinator – Etiket Montreal
“Chic on the terrasse with a crisp glass of white and a spritz of 312 Saint-Honoré by BDK Parfums—powdery florals meet spicy ginger and pink pepper, melting into sun-warmed musk. Sophisticated yet undone, like tousled hair and vintage sunglasses. It’s golden hour in Paris, bottled.”
RALPH Fragrance Specialist – Etiket Montreal
“À Fleur de Pêche by L’Artisan Parfumeur is a bright, sunlit peach burst with juicy acidity intertwined with delicate jasmine petals creating a luminous and modern ode to summer’s ripe sensuality.”
ALLAN Fragrance Coordinator – Etiket Toronto
“Ganymede by Marc-Antoine Barrois is a dreamy summer scent because it’s light, fresh, and a little spacey—in the best way. Think sun-warmed suede, salty minerals, and juicy mandarin dancing on skin. Cool, crisp, and effortlessly chic. ✨”
ANNE MARIE Store Director – Etiket Toronto
“Simple. Solar. Smiling. TILIA is the scent of an everlasting summer and holidays that never end. A lovely blend of jasmine and vetiver. It is an ode to simplicity, to optimism, and to the joy that lingers like a long summer day. Literally sunshine in a bottle.”
In a world of ever-changing trends, few brands manage to carve out a unique space that feels both timeless and contemporary. Founded in 2006 by Ben Gorham, Byredo draws inspiration from his multicultural background from Sweden, to India or Canada, and personal experiences to create fragrances and everyday lifestyle products that evoke deep emotions. The name “Byredo” stems from “by redolence,” an old English term for aromatic fragrance, aptly reflecting the brand’s ethos.
Being free to explore collective memories is the name of the game for Gorham, whose journey from a professional basketball player and fine arts major to a creative force behind Byredo has shaped his distinctive, intuitive approach to design. A chance meeting with perfumer Pierre Wulff convinced him that he’d rather create fragrances than paintings. With no formal training in the field, Gorham, 31 years old, sought out the services of world-renowned perfumers Olivia Giacobetti and Jerome Epinette, explaining his olfactory desires and letting them create the compositions. As an outsider in the beauty industry, Ben is somewhat of an anomaly and has been recognized for his personal style and connection to fashion and art in several international magazines such as French Vogue, Vanity Fair, and Elle, to name a few.
Focusing on collaboration and the power of storytelling, Gorham’s creations, such as the evocative Rose of No Man’s Land and De Los Santos fragrances, bridge cultures and rituals, offering a global perspective rooted in personal legacy.

PACKING TIPS: CARRY-ON ONLY
When travelling with a carry-on only:
Only liquids, gels and aerosols in containers of 100 ml or 100 g (3.4 oz) or less are permitted.
You may be tempted to bring a 50 or 100 ml cream, serum or cleanser when travelling, but keep in mind that a maximum total of 1000 ml is allowed per person when travelling with a carry-on only. All products must therefore fit into a plastic bag with a capacity of one liter. Only one bag per person is allowed.
Powdered products such as dry shampoos, foot powders and bath salts cannot be carried in your carry-on if the quantity is equal to or greater than 350 ml (12 oz.). However, these products may be carried in your checked baggage, regardless of quantity.
ALSO WORTH NOTING:
Toiletries (including aerosols) such as hairspray, perfume, cologne or any product containing alcohol may be carried in checked baggage provided the total capacity does not exceed two liters (2L) or two kilograms (2Kg) per passenger.

Mother’s Day is the perfect time to show the moms and mother figures in our lives how much they mean to us. The Etiket team has rounded up their top gift picks – what we’d love to give the incredible women who inspire us every day.
“My beautiful mother-in-law, Anne Clune, always had the most radiant skin. Her secret? A fierce dedication to sunscreen and a love for simple, natural beauty. The ILIA True Skin Serum Foundation gives that same dewy, luminous glow while protecting your skin with SPF 40. It’s a true multitasker, just like Anne, who raised seven amazing children with grace and strength.” ANNE MARIE, Boutique & Spa Director – Etiket Toronto
“My grandmother Eurides loved her multiple neroli fragrances so much, it was her favourite note of all time. This year, I’m celebrating her memory with BDK’s Villa Neroli, a sweet, fresh and bright fragrance, just like her!” LUIZA, Makeup Specialist – Etiket Toronto
“My mom absolutely loves French Farmacie’s Sérum Radiant because it makes her skin feel nourished, smooth, and glowing. She says it gives her that natural, healthy radiance she’s always looking for — plus, she loves how luxurious and clean the ingredients feel! She also colours her hair once a month and struggles with very dry ends. She absolutely loves the Mela & Kera Smooth Ends Balm—it’s one of her staples and she always keeps a bottle in her purse! She goes through one every month. This product hydrates, smooths, and never weighs down her hair. It’s been a game-changer for keeping her coloured hair looking healthy and soft.” JENNY, Fragrance Specialist – Etiket Toronto
“Born and raised in the islands of the Philippines, my mother Lilibeth was always surrounded by fresh mangos. Not only is it her favourite fruit, she also embodies the taste and feel of this exotic fruit – soft and sweet, nurturing and full of life. Xerjoff’s Cruz Del Sur II is the perfect tropical scent that takes not only me but my mother back home.” ALLAN, Fragrance Coordinator – Etiket Toronto
“For Mother’s Day, I’d gift my mom a Balance & Ground Facial from Tata Harper. She does so much for others, so I’d like to treat her to 90 minutes of pure relaxation, just for her. The calm-inducing breathing, singing bowl ritual and face massage are the perfect way to help her slow down, recharge and feel pampered.” GENEVIÈVE, Customer Experience Coordinator – Etiket HQ, Montreal
“Typically, I prefer to offer experiences or memorable moments as gifts; however, this year I have chosen to present my mother with the Advanced Anti-Aging Program from Vivier. For me, it only makes sense to offer a gift that is both useful and from a local brand (Vivier is a Quebec-based company celebrating its 25th anniversary this year!). Vivier’s programs are made up of essentials that ensure a complete skincare routine based on a targeted concern: from cleanser to sun protection to serum, it’s all there. The products are formulated according to the strictest pharmaceutical standards, rivaling those of multinational brands. Additionally, the highly functional (and beautiful) kit in which the products are housed makes it an ideal gift, whether for others or for personal indulgence.” KARINE, Marketing Director – Etiket HQ, Montreal
A glimpse into how BDK Parfums captures Paris through the vibrant soul of the rose.
Few flowers capture the spirit of a city quite like the rose does for Paris. In Impadia, master perfumer Jordi Fernández brings this symbolism to life through a bold, dual-rose composition that mirrors the city’s multifaceted beauty.
In this interview, Fernández shares the inspiration behind Impadia, his deep connection to the queen of flowers, and how he translated the romance of a Parisian sunrise into scent.
Perfumer Jordi Fernández for BDK Parfums
THE INTERVIEW
How does the rose express the beauty and vibrant energy of Paris?
“The rose is a raw material with a unique olfactory richness. There are several varieties within the Damascena botanical species, such as those grown in Bulgaria and Turkey. Depending on the extraction method used, either essential oil or absolute is obtained, each offering a variety of facets. Bulgarian rose oil Orpur™* is fresh, slightly spicy and highly diffusive. Conversely, Turkish rose absolute Orpur™ reveals richer, warmer notes, with hints of honey and a touch of cocoa. This combination at the very heart of IMPADIA celebrates the multiple dimensions of beauty, from delicate freshness to enchanting depth, creating a complete and nuanced olfactory experience. The fragrance’s other ingredients enhance the queen of flowers, reinforcing its complexity and richness. Together, they allow the fragrance to resonate with the myriad ways in which beauty can be experienced, and celebrate its multi-faceted nature in a truly captivating way.”
What is your relationship with the queen of flowers?
“The rose has always been the cornerstone of my career as a perfumer and a key ingredient in perfumery in the Middle East region, where I have gained much of my experience. My various interpretations of the rose have allowed me to explore its cultural richness and diverse olfactory profiles. Even today, I continue to discover new dimensions in its enchanting fragrance.”
Why did you use two different roses at the heart of Impadia?
“Turkish and Bulgarian roses belong to the same species, the damascena rose, each with very distinct olfactory specificities due to the different extraction methods used. Bulgarian rose essence Orpur™ has fresh, metallic and green notes, with a hint of spiciness that conveys the vibrant side of the flower. Turkish rose absolute Orpur™ reveals a warmer profile, characterised by rich honey notes and subtle cocoa nuances. When blended, this creates a harmonious balance that highlights the unique qualities of each rose.”
Sunrise and sunset are characterized by gradations of colour from pink to orange. How did you translate these nuances into scent?
“Mandarin integral Orpur™ has fresh, juicy citrus notes that bring a sense of happiness and vibrancy. Combined with rose, it captures the soft rosy hues that evoke the gradation of colours at sunrise. Notes of bergamot enhance the luminosity, while the warm, sweet undertones of vanilla represent the golden warmth of the sun at the end of the day.”
*The Orpur™ collection brings together the best qualities of natural raw materials from the Givaudan palette. Individually selected with the greatest care, these ingredients are true “grands crus”.
Impadia EDP by BDK Parfums is available online at Etiket.ca and in stores.
Saffron is one of the world’s oldest and most precious aromatic materials, used for over 3,000 years in dyes, medicine, and ritual. In perfumery, saffron brings a warm, leathery, and slightly metallic scent unlike any other. Its eye-watering price is due in part to how it’s harvested: each tiny, crimson stamen of the Crocus sativus flower must be picked by hand.
For their newest parfum extrait, Maison Crivelli invites us to explore this fascinating note as only they can; through a surprising encounter with a saffron field drenched in fog. Safran Secret is the first in a new series of the brand’s Olfactory Mysteries – and is as evocative as it is addictive.
Read on to explore this exciting new scent, as well as a few of our other favourite saffron fragrances.
