Would you buy a fragrance inspired by a real destination?

I'm a student at Cal Poly working on a fragrance concept and wanted some honest feedback.

The idea is a travel-inspired fragrance brand where each scent is tied to a real destination. Instead of just selling a fragrance, each bottle would tell the story of a place.

For example:

Destination 001: Aegean Breeze
📍 Santorini, Greece

The bottle would include:

  • Coordinates to a real destination
  • A QR code with photos and information about the location
  • A destination card/booklet
  • A collectible travel-inspired experience

My goal is to make fragrances feel more like collecting destinations and stories rather than just buying another bottle from a luxury brand.

These images are just mockups and no products exist yet.

A few questions:

  1. Would this make you more likely to try a new fragrance brand?
  2. Would you prefer real destinations or fictional/adventure-inspired destinations?
  3. What would you expect to pay for a 10–30 mL bottle with this kind of packaging and experience?
  4. What destinations would you want to see?

Would love honest feedback.
