Introduction

When we travel, we carry more than just luggage. We bring along moods, memories, and the small comforts that make us feel at home no matter where we go. Perfume is one of those comforts, a bottle that can shape the way a journey feels. But not every fragrance works when you’re on the move. Some fade too quickly in humid air; others feel too heavy in the heat.

That’s why travel-friendly perfumes aren’t about smaller bottles; they’re about scents that adapt. Fragrances that stay fresh in the tropics, elegant in cooler weather, and versatile enough for both casual mornings and glamorous evenings.

Open Water SG captures this balance beautifully. Each Eau de Parfum comes in an oil-based format for longer wear and is inspired by iconic designer fragrances that travelers already love. They are stylish, adaptable, and unforgettable perfect companions for your next getaway.

Here are the travel-friendly heroes from Open Water SG to pack on your journey.

  • By The Sea – Inspired by Giorgio Armani’s Acqua di Gio

For escapes by the coast, nothing feels more fitting than By the Sea. Inspired by Giorgio Armani’s legendary Acqua di Gio, it’s a clean, marine scent with mandarin, neroli, and salty sea notes. The brilliance of this fragrance lies in its balance: light enough for sunny beach days, but anchored with musk and pale woods that make it equally charming for an evening dinner by the water. It’s the scent of freedom bottled for travel.


Every trip has that one night where you want to stand out. Scarlet is the fragrance for it. Inspired by the cult-favorite Baccarat Rouge 540, it opens with saffron and jasmine before deepening into amberwood and cedar. This is not a scent that blends in it’s made for rooftop cocktails in Bangkok, candlelit dinners in Paris, or any evening where you want the air around you to carry a little drama. With Scarlet, your presence lingers long after you’ve left the room.
