Perfumes evocative of On the Road by Jack Kerouac (bohemian cross-country road trip scent?)
This is an extremely specific request, but are there any perfumes that anyone knows of that gives On The Road vibes? Ideally, unisex to leaning feminine scents.
Bohemian, beat generation, road trip, endless summer, being young in the 1970s (I know the book was released in the 50s, but I feel that the 70s brings to mind more scent notes than the 50s does), hot summer nights, mystery Arches National park, and tall grass blowing in the wind in the desert, and a general carefree, no-strings vibe are all things that kind of come to mind to me when thinking of how I want to smell. These are obviously not scent notes, but any sort of boho scent that you can think of when reading this might be helpful!
If you've seen the On the Road movie with KStew, you know the vibes. They end up in Mexico, which is also a key vibe for what I'm looking for
Also scents that remind you of photos like these: 1, 2
There is an existing scent (here) inspired by the novel but it is HEAVILY masculine/cologne-y. Dharma Bum by Immortal Perfumes might fit the ticket, but there is no fragrantica page for it so I fear that it will be very masculine.
