    Looking for the ultimate vacation scent? My personal summertime favorites include ones that are refreshing and invigorating, but understated like the new eau de parfum collection from Pixi.

    The Strand sisters, Petra, Sara, and Sofia of the boutique London beauty brand have come together to create fragrances reminiscent of their fondest summer vacation memories.

    This inspiring collection launches with the first three scents-fig, mimosa and rose, which are available as an eau de parfum and a wonderfully fragrant satin oil.

    Evoking summers spent on the southern coast of Spain, Petra recalls an expansive fig orchard that inspired the first of the three scents, fig. The sweet essence of the fig has the highest mineral content of any fruit and contains powerful antioxidants that fight the damaging effects of the sun and environment. The delicious aroma is sensuous and herbal with woody undertones.

    Mimosa, deriving from the feathery pom poms of the mimosa flower, recreates the feeling of warm beaches in summertime for Sara. Best known for mood-elevating and distressing properties, mimosa is a silky, feminine floral scent.

    For the third Strand sister, Sofia, the luxurious rose scent recalls memories of romantic evenings. An aphrodisiac for centuries, the rose itself exudes a clean sensuality.

    The satin fragrance oil works wonders in a pinch for on-the-go touchups or throughout the day. The adorable pastel-colored bottles are a joy to use and add an instant summertime feeling to any boudoir.

    Pixi eau de parfum and satin fragrance oil are both available exclusively at Studio Fred Segal.
