Around the World in Eighty Days is a book is about a race around the world in 1873, but our theme this month takes a more leisurely approach (hurrah for airplanes).

First, we fly to the vivid lavender fields of France. Plant one next to a cool forest and stand on the border of the two. That’s our first scent.

Next, we head to India, the inspiration for a woodsy, spicy, citrus fragrance that is quintessentially masculine.

Finally, we land back in London at the historical Reform Club, where the character in Jules Verne’s novel began his journey.
