A blend of zesty lemon, succulent nashi blossom, opulent rose and soft musk conjures the bustling city's vibrant energy and stunningly lush parks.
Santa Barbara
Citrine Eau de Parfum by Nest ($68 for 1.7 ounces; Sephora.com)
After a spritz of this crisp bouquet of lemon blossom, lotus flower, freesia and wood, you'll be fantasizing about cruising down the sun-drenched California coast in a little deuce coupe.

A fresh, sparkling mix of lime, bergamot and lavender captures the verdant hilltops and azure waters of the buzzy seaside resort.
Montego Bay
L'Eau d'Issey Summer by Issey Miyake ($78 for 3.3 ounces; Sephora.com)
One whiff of this tart, citrusy floral (a blend of grapefruit, lychee and passion fruit), and you'll be (virtually, at least) sipping a rum punch on a secluded beach.
Tangier
Tangier Vanille by Aerin ($160 for 3.4 ounces; Aerin.com)
A sniff of this rich fusion of bergamot, rose, vanilla, amber and musk, and you'll imagine happily wandering through the narrow aisles of aromatic spices and bold pottery crowding the Moroccan city's exotic open-air markets.
