Dream duos for your next night out
In fashion, the matching set, otherwise known as the co-ord, has been trending in a major way for several seasons — from minimalist tunics paired with slip skirts that nod to the 90s to vibrant printed tops and matching shorts that scream “vacation mode”. But doubling down on a mood doesn’t need to live exclusively in your wardrobe — we think it’s pretty fun to test it out with your beauty and accessory edits, too.
To inspire you for your next occasion, we pair four travel-sized fragrances with their handbag soulmates. Spritz your scent, pop it in your matching bag for touch-ups, and have (twice as much) fun embracing your aura for the evening.
Jo Malone English Pear & Freesia Cologne + Burberry Dark Birch Brown Tartan Bucket Bag
Jo Malone describes the English Pear & Freesia Cologne as “the essence of autumn”, and we couldn’t agree more. Complement the sensual yet fresh fragrance, which privileges amber, patchouli, and wood, with another Fall-apt British icon — Burberry’s tartan plaid print, which serves as the focal point of the House’s newest bucket bag.
MALIN+GOETZ Dark Rum + Loewe Flamenco Parrots Napa Clutch Bag
First drunk by sailors and later popularized in tropical cocktails, dark rum instantly evokes beach days and balmy nights at holiday spots like Barbados and Bermuda. Colorful flocks of parrots echo the same Caribbean-holiday mood, making Loewe’s playful clutch the perfect plus one for an exotic getaway in the sun.
Jo Malone Red Roses + Ferragamo Viva Bow Bag
Inspired by a blend of no less than seven of the world’s most fragrant roses, Jo Malone’s Red Roses fragrance is all about classic romance. With a hint of lemon, the scent unfolds like a freshly cut bouquet — clear, clean, and contemporary. It’s the perfect match for Ferragamo’s red leather Viva Bow bag, which celebrates the same feminine yet frill-free sensibility.
Le Labo Santal 33 + Bottega Veneta Kalimero Bucket Bag
Le Labo’s cult scent is addictive, much like the hunt for the next must-have Bottega Veneta bag. This new “it” bucket from the fashion house in warm, earthy Barolo-colored leather is also a perfect match for the rugged, intoxicating scent of Santal 33, which fuses sandalwood, cedarwood, leather, and spice.
