Serenity Abroad: Three New Storytelling Aromas by Simbi Fragrance

Serenity Abroad: Three New Storytelling Aromas by Simbi Fragrance

We're excited to announce that three new aromas are joining our Simbi collection. Inspired by the latest season of The White Lotus, this trio captures the beauty of escapism, and how a place you’ve never been can spark possibility, perspective and a deeper sense of self. 

These new aromas are more than just destination aromas. Uniquely, each of the new fragrances have unique personalities, where each scent offers a full storytelling experience for makers who want evolving aromas that wildly change and grow throughout the scented experience. 

Inspired by human connection, a longing for something more, and hopefully, finding something new to love at the end of the journey, these scents are unique to the rest of our lineup, and I’m thrilled to have them join our permanent collection. 

Let’s dive on in!

 

Late Checkout - A Simbi Exclusive Aquatic/Masculine Skin Scent 

This fragrance was inspired by the idea of serendipitously meeting someone on vacation with whom you have an instant, magnetic connection and every moment together feels effortless. To capture that in fragrance form, we imagined a sunlit luxury bungalow on a warm, blue sky afternoon. It’s the aroma of greeting your partner as they finish their shower, wrapping them in plush towel, and kissing their shoulder, breathing in the aroma of their clean skin, along with a whisper of the shower’s wet stone, and an airy breeze passing through open windows. This is meant to bottle a feeling of intimate comfort that’s equally thrilling and deeply safe. 

This was an adventure in expanding our masculine-leaning options, while also exploring what would happen if it was built from the lens of the wildly popular ‘skin scent’ niche. Rather than clean girl beauty, this has a commanding, grounded foundation similar to the warmth and spice from our African King, yet deconstructed to add in wet mineral stone, a bergamot breeze for lift and transparency, and some sensual musk to be a lingering halo that lasts all day.

If you want to have a masculine-leaning skin scent halo, this is a great option. It has a 7/10 CT, yet an extremely diffusive yet not overbearing 8/10 HT. The throw of this one is similar to African King, Ebony Woods, and Exotic Woods in wax and on skin, it lingers all day while remaining close to the skin. 

Notes:

Top: Damp Shower Air, Italian Bergamot, Afternoon Breeze
Heart: Wet Stone, Violet Leaves, Nutmeg, Cashmere
Base: Ambergris, Black Ebony Wood, Sensual Musk, Golden Amber

Essential Oils: Gurjun Balsam, Amyris Oil, Virginia Cedar, Light Patchouli

Coastal Serenity - A Simbi Exclusive Spa Scent 

If you’ve been searching for a fragrance oil perfectly suited for spas, salons, and elevated living spaces, you need to meet Coastal Serenity.

Inspired by the luxurious White Lotus spa, this evokes a sanctuary wrapped in creamy sandalwood from floor to ceiling, linen drapes billowing with a quiet sea breeze, and the hush of soft footsteps and whispered voices. White lotus petals drift lazily atop clear water, and the whole world seems to pause. It’s that singular moment when a day at the spa is winding down, when you feel lighter, calmer, and deeply restored.

Coastal Serenity is aquatic in the gentlest way. The refreshing mist from a fountain carried on warm air, carrying with it a soft, white floral whisper blooms from lotus floating on water’s surface, touched with the sweet brightness of narcissus and the creamy, languid richness of orchid. All are grounded by smooth sandalwood planks and serene musks that settle around you like a deep breath. This is a quiet exhale in fragrance oil form. 

This has a 7.5/10 CT and a very encompassing 8/10 HT. This is in a similar category as Basil Sesame and Lemon Ginger for spa scents but with a white floral direction that’s appealing, including for those who don’t like white florals.

Notes:

Top: Watery Breeze, Japanese Ginger, Thailand Sweet Basil
Heart: Narcissus Petals, Orchid Milk, White Lotus
Base: Twilight Musk, Pink Pepper, Velvet Sandalwood

Essential Oils: Thailand Sweet Basil, West African Ginger Oil, Light Patchouli Oil, Orange Essence, Virginia Cedarwood 

Smells Like: The scent being perfectly zen after a full day at a 5-star Thailand Resort Spa

Rosehips & Amberwood - A Simbi Exclusive Intoxicating Evening Scent

The sun has set, romance is in the air, and cocktails are served under the open air as performers take the stage. This is the scene for our Rosehips & Amberwood fragrance.

This scent was inspired by joyous evenings at the open-air White Lotus canopy bar, where there’s plenty of seating by the straw hut bar, soft ambient lighting from tiki torches, and the intoxicating aroma of night blooming florals muddled with deep, red hued drinks creating a space of passion. 

This smells like a heaping serving of reship tea, steeped to perfection and stirred with a slightly animalic, orange blossom honey. The base is thick, bold, juiciness, that smells like the deep hue of rosehip tea, with a flavor as bold as red sangria. The sensual floral heart is reinforced with night blooming violets, and a soft yet grounded spice from warm cloves. There’s some lift from evening air, and a slight hint of bergamot, but it’s mostly grounded but a gorgeous creamy sandalwood, ambergris and vanilla base that forms the most sensual amber wood base. 

This smells like a night where you have your new favorite outfit on, all the photos you take could be new profile pics, and you’re feeling carefree and desired at the same time. This is in a lower sweet register category next to Midnight Magic, Honey Rhubarb Compote and Black Velvet, but with the strength of Cinnamon Churro/Enchanted Peppermint.

This has a 10/10 CT and 10/10 HT. 

Notes:

Top: Orange Blossom Honey, Bergamot, Evening Air

Heart: Rosehip Tea, Night Blooming Violets, Warm Cloves

Base: Amberwood, Patchouli, Soft Vanilla Musk

Essential Oils: Double Distilled Indonesian Patchouli.
