Continuum seeks-or at least attempts-to serve as a reminder that travel is a fusion of logistics and romance. Today more than ever, the cologne appears to suggest, traveling anywhere requires risk, which only increases the reward. The scent includes a blend of green mandarin, tobacco leaves, orris roots, and oud, forming a bold, musky bouquet that’s at once mineral and earthy, evoking both city streets and the great outdoors. “The notes chosen for Continuum were carefully selected to embody those inspirational voyages.” “In light of a world where people are rediscovering travel, continuing Tumi’s foray into fragrance meant learning and understanding the different scents one can experience along their journeys,” Tumi’s creative director, Victor Sanz, said in a statement. It was released earlier this fall, just as more people began to warm up to the idea of taking trips again after restrictions on travel eased and vaccines became more widely available. While its first two releases, Unwind and Awaken, energized the olfactory organs with highly concentrated citrus, herb, and floral notes, its latest aroma, Continuum, conjures up the insatiable curiosity of contemporary explorers.

(A handful of other upscale brands that offer travel essentials, including Victorinox and Montblanc, have also expanded into the fragrance market the luxury houses Louis Vuitton and Hermès have long been in the scent game.) Tumi’s approach to cologne focuses on evoking qualities that are associated with the invigorating experience of an excursion. Since scents can often have a transporting effect, it seems, on one level, logical for a luggage company to create a perfume as another means to carry users to a different place. Its cult following catapulted Tumi into a full-scale lifestyle label that now offers not only baggage, but accessories, outerwear, and, as of last year, men’s fragrances that underscore its spirit of refined exploration. Its founder, Charlie Clifford-a former Peace Corps volunteer in South America who named his business after a type of sharp tool used in the central Andes region during pre- and post-colonial eras-built the company on a simple black, ballistic-nylon suitcase. Starting at just 14.95/mo.Tumi, the travel brand founded in 1975, has long been known for its functional luggage that manages to be stylish.

SMELL AMAZING WITH SCENTBIRD In addition to Awaken, Scentbird also carries TUMI’s Unwind eau de parfum for another brisk take on the aromatic style, featuring notes of lemon, ginger, and a distinctive accord of oud and sandalwood in the base. TUMI Awaken takes the best from the refreshing, revitalizing, and stimulating fragrance playbook and updates it for the adventure-driven 21st century man – whether you long for the open road or just an open seat on the subway. The dry down moves from aromatic sophistication to layers of smoky frankincense, patchouli, and cedarwood.

After the initial citrus meets spice intro fades, a mild and bracing heart of clary sage, fir needle, and a hint of cypress emerges.
