There's a certain heavenly aroma when you walk into a hotel so fancy you can hardly afford a cocktail at the bar, let alone a room for the night. But thanks to a slew of custom candles and room sprays from those very establishments, you can give your apartment the same scent treatment. Here, find the best bottled and hand-poured bouquets from hotels like the Chateau Marmont and the W offer—consider them the ultimate staycation hack...
1. Westin Room Spray
The signature scent of Westin Hotels is a *fancy* blend of white tea with wood cedar and vanilla. (Their Rome property's Villa La Cupola Suite is billed at $30,000 a night and is number 8 on the list of the World's 15 most expensive hotel suites, so fancy is the word.)

2. The Dorchester Fig & Cassis Scented Candle
Created by Amor et Psyché, which means its ingredients were derived from a discreet part of the word and hand-poured in England, it marries fig (a scent beloved by Plato for its mental-stirring qualities) with woody cassis.

3. Eau d'Italie Eau de Toilette Spray
The award-winning signature fragrance of Positano's Hotel Le combines a hint of musk with a touch of incense, bergamot, and blackcurrant buds. It's equal parts salt of the earth and elegant.
