Social-distance shopping with a dash of wanderlust.
Hotel stays are on hold for the moment – so we’re wandering the world via creative collaborations, boutique pop-ups, and VIP amenities from some of our favorite properties. Below, eight products to spruce up your shelter-in-place situation and satisfy that craving for far-flung destinations.

In the early days of the St. Regis New York, Caroline Astor hosted a sumptuous ball with 400 guests. The brand’s commemorative Caroline’s Four Hundred room fragrance has light notes of American Beauty rose (her favorite flower), white lily, and quince. $85.
