Welcome to The Hollywood Reporter’s inaugural Travel Week! Hollywood stars and insiders log millions of miles for filming, festivals and wherever else the red carpet takes them, so why not look to these frequent flyers for travel inspiration? With summer destinations still beckoning (and plenty of time to plan for fall trips), this week we’re highlighting insider-approved essentials, style and travel tips, deals and more. Allons-y!

Like all good things, some vacations must come to an end — but there’s one way to bring your favorite hotel back home with you. Some of the best room sprays can keep your home and linens smelling fresh — and take you back to some of the world’s best five-star getaways. That’s why we’re rounding up the top scents for setting an olfactory scene at your abode, including some that come recommended by celebrities, stylists and some very enthusiastic reviewers.

If you’ve already got a candle or perfume you like, it’s also worth considering whether the same brand makes a room spray. Companies like Le Labo (found at hotels like Edition properties, The Parker Palm Springs, Park Hyatt and more), Venus et Fleur, Diptyque, Aesop (Waldorf Astoria uses its products) and Byredo all offer home fragrance sprays in the scents you probably already know and love.

From luxury room sprays that make your bed smell like a five-star resort to affordable deodorizing sprays that conquer odors, these picks ensure that your home will have visitors exclaiming, “Wow, it smells great in here.” Just saying, some of the higher-end items on this list would also make a thoughtful gift for your newlywed friends, your mom or anyone else.

Here are our picks for the best room sprays for giving your home the luxe hotel treatment.

BEST LUXURY ROOM SPRAY

Diptyque’s fragrances are favored by celebrities including Meghan Markle and Prince Harry (the brand famously scented the couple’s wedding!), Gigi Hadid, Kate Hudson and Beyoncé, among many others, and its scents can be found at Ritz-Carlton hotels. The Baies scent from Diptypque is a classic, bringing together the fragrances of roses and blackcurrant leaves. Reviewers say that a little bit goes a long way, FYI.

BEST ROOM SPRAY FOR BATHROOM

Mrs. Meyer’s teamed up with Abbott Elementary star Tyler James Williams earlier this year for the release of their new scent, Compassion Flower.

Better yet, when you purchase from Mrs. Meyer’s or Grove.co, proceeds from the line of Compassion Flower products go towards the Lots of Compassion initiative, which helps communities turn vacant space into community gardens.
