One of my favorite travel accessories to pack: those little vials of perfume samples. You can pack several, because they take up hardly any room in a TSA liquids plastic bag; they add unexpected to spice to any outfit; and they can also be a conversation starter. Instead of mainstream samples, I like to source from independent artisans. Not only will few people be able to identify what you're wearing, but you might also benefit your skin, as artisans often use organic ingredients instead of the synthetic molecules common in the commercial perfume industry.
Here's what's currently in my little travel sachet of statement perfumes. One caveat: artisanal perfumers are in many cases rebels who do not abide by International Fragrance Association restrictions on ingredients that potentially cause allergic reactions or other irritation. So always do a skin test before wearing.
