St. Regis Hotels & Resorts Unveils Bespoke Scent

Nov 20, 2015
Daily

St. Regis Hotels & Resorts recently released “Caroline’s Four Hundred” as its first bespoke scent. The fragrance will be at each of the brand’s 35 hotels and resorts; currently available in candle form, it will become available as a room spray early next year.

Created by scent designer Carlos Huber of ARQUISTE, the fragrance was inspired by Caroline Astor, the hotel’s founding family’s matriarch, and her famous parties, where she hosted the most notable of New York society during the beginning of the 20th century. The $80 candle is intended to reflect the exotic woods, potted palms and apple blossoms that adorned the hotel at that time, as well as Champagne and Caroline Astor’s favorite flower, American Beauty roses.

“Rooted in New York society with the legendary ‘400’ and entertaining every generation of society since, St. Regis endures as the epitome of glamour. We are thrilled that ARQUISTE could capture the spirit of the brand for our discerning guests to enjoy, whether they are staying with us and when they are at home,” said Daphne Sipos, global brand director, St. Regis Hotels & Resorts.

The “Caroline’s Four Hundred” candle can be purchased at the brand’s online shop, or through ARQUISTE.

Why Japan Is Best Explored by Sea with Princess

Japan is a destination that rewards repeat visits because no two regions — or seasons —  feel quite the same. One moment, you’re wandering through centuries-old geisha districts in Kanazawa. The next, you’re watching neon reflections dance across Tokyo streets long after midnight.

Time Travel: The World’s Best Aviation Museums Let Visitors Fly Into the Past

The desire to fly is lodged deep in the human psyche. Aside from the common dream of being airborne, references abound in old tales and myths. In the epic poem Shahnameh by long-ago Persian poet Ferdowsi, the fabled King Kai-Káús possessed a flying throne that was drawn into the sky and held aloft by a team of colossal eagles. Built of gold and wood, this throne craft may not have been aerodynamic in design or particularly comfortable to travel in, but it managed to bear the daring king all the way to China.

Review: Villatel Resort Orlando

Opened March 2025, Villatel Resort Orlando is one of Orlando’s newest elevated resorts, but far more unique and private than you’ll find at many other resorts and hotels in the area. The name alone points to an experience beyond your typical hotel room or suite; here, you have the flexibility to select from a wide range of modern villas, ranging from four to nine bedrooms, as well as a series of Apartments by Marriott Bonvoy units.

Bed Bugs on Planes? Rare, But It Just Happened …

It’s a traveler’s worst nightmare: bed bugs. The insect’s name suggests they are limited to beds, meaning the worry is restricted solely to homes, hotels, vacation rentals and any other place we could possibly rest our heads. But, on planes? Well, bed bugs have and do indeed infiltrate the fabrics of even these seats, despite many of us not actually getting any rest on a plane.

The Quest for Quiet: Choose the Best Noise-Canceling Headsets to Suit Your Travel Style

Back in the 1990s, when I was traveling on my airline pilot father’s standby passes, there weren’t many ways for passengers to cancel ambient noise while in flight. I remember squishing and twisting little yellow pairs of foam earplugs with my fingers and letting them rise in my ears while I swirled ice around in my Pawberry Punch and ripped open a cold pouch of Delta-branded Biscoff cookies. Much has changed in travel technology since those days; and although I’ll forever miss Dusty the Delta Air Lion, I’m happy to report no more need for plastic ear foam.
