adidas Are Pushing the Boundaries of Fragrance With Their New Vibes Collection – POPSUGAR Australia

We all know that scent has the power to shift our mood in an instant. The smell of sunscreen can transport you straight to a summer holiday, while fresh coffee in the morning can make you feel like you actually have your life together. But what if your fragrance could do more than just smell nice? What if it could actively boost your mood? Enter adidas ‘Vibes’ — a brand-new collection of six Eau de Parfums designed to work with your emotions — whether you need to chill out, power up or escape the everyday.

Created in collaboration with world-class Coty perfumers, the range takes fragrance beyond just smelling good and turns it into something that enhances how you feel. It’s all backed by science — fragrance molecules interact with the brain’s limbic system, which controls emotions, memory and stress levels. So yes, perfume can actually influence your mood. In fact — consumer testing found that at least 81% of people agreed that wearing a Vibes fragrance made them feel good, while 85% said it gave them a mood boost.

Each fragrance is $29.99 RRP, making it easy to build a wardrobe of scents you can switch up depending on how you want to feel. Layer them, rotate them or find your signature. If you’re looking for a moment of calm, a hit of motivation — or perhaps a little escape, there’s an adidas scent to help you achieve your desired vibe.

For When You Need an Escape

Some days, you just want to press pause on reality. Whether that means getting lost in a daydream or manifesting your next adventure, these scents are all about feeling confident, free and ready for whatever comes next.

Full Recharge ($29.99 RRP)

If you’ve ever felt the weight of a long, overwhelming day and needed a reset, Full Recharge is like pressing the refresh button for your mind. With its bold, earthy notes of cedar leaf and clary sage, this fragrance evokes that invigorating feeling of stepping outside after being cooped up for too long. It’s perfect for when you’re feeling drained and need a moment to ground yourself before diving back into the chaos.

Happy Feels ($29.99 RRP)

We all know the joy of spontaneous, carefree moments — the excitement of an impromptu brunch, the rush of a weekend getaway, or the lightness of laughing with friends on a sunny afternoon. Happy Feels captures that uplifting energy with the zing of juicy grapefruit and the soft, floral warmth of jasmine. When you need an instant mood lift, whether you’re stuck in a monotonous routine or just need a pick-me-up, this scent will make you feel instantly brighter and ready to take on anything with a smile.

For When You Want to Relax

Sometimes, you just need to slow down. Whether it’s a moment of mindfulness or a full-on self-care session, these fragrances bring the calm.

Chill Zone ($29.99 RRP)

When life gets overwhelming, sometimes all you need is a moment to just breathe and release the tension. Chill Zone is designed for those times when you feel anxious or frazzled and need something calming. The soothing lavender and warm vanilla come together to create a scent that’s like sinking into a soft, quiet space. When your mind is racing or you’re feeling out of sync, this fragrance helps you slow down and find your calm, giving you the mental clarity to move forward with a clearer head.

Get Comfy ($29.99 RRP)

We all have days where we crave comfort and familiarity, whether it’s because of a long, stressful week or just a need to reconnect with ourselves. Get Comfy is the fragrance version of curling up in your favourite hoodie with a cup of tea. With notes of sweet mandarin and creamy vanilla, it creates a sense of warmth and security, making you feel at home no matter where you are. If you’re in for a long day, or if you’re simply in need of a moment to recharge, this scent is your reminder to take it slow, give yourself some self-care, and enjoy the quiet moments.

For When You Need a Power Boost

These fragrances are here to hype you up, whether you’re heading to the gym, smashing through your to-do list — or just need a little extra motivation to get moving.

Energy Drive ($29.99 RRP)

We all experience those times when we’re in need of a pick-me-up, whether it’s an afternoon slump or the feeling that you’ve hit a wall. Energy Drive is the fragrance that kicks you into gear. With spicy notes of pink pepper and cardamom, this scent is bold and stimulating — just like that first cup of coffee in the morning that gets you out of bed and into action. It’s perfect for a workout, a big presentation or just getting things done when you feel like dragging your feet.

Spark Up ($29.99 RRP)

There are moments when you need to step up and make a statement, whether it’s heading to an event, making a lasting impression at work or simply owning your space. Spark Up is the fragrance that boosts your presence and gives you that extra burst of confidence. With the refreshing sweetness of orange and the warmth of deeper notes, it’s a fragrance that leaves a trail long after you’ve entered the room. If you’re looking to stand out and feel empowered in any situation, this scent is your go-to.

Take Your Mood to the Next Level With Scent Layering

Ever had one of those days where your mood shifts constantly — morning stress, afternoon slump, evening plans? Layering fragrances from the adidas ‘Vibes’ collection lets you adapt your scent to whatever life throws your way. By mixing different profiles, you can fine-tune your fragrance to boost confidence, clear your head, or bring you back to the present moment.

If you’re feeling scattered and need to reset, try layering Full Recharge with Happy Feels. The grounding freshness of cedar leaf and clary sage cuts through mental fog, while zesty grapefruit and soft jasmine add an uplifting brightness. It’s like an instant refresh button for your senses — ideal when your to-do list is overwhelming, or you’re psyching yourself up for something new.

For moments when anxiety creeps in, the combination of Chill Zone and Get Comfy helps bring you back to yourself. The mix of calming lavender, warm vanilla, and juicy tangerine creates a cocoon of comfort without feeling heavy or sleepy. Whether you’re about to walk into a big meeting, navigating a stressful commute, or just need a second to breathe, this blend keeps you steady.

And for those days when you need an energy boost but caffeine just isn’t cutting it, layering Energy Drive with Spark Up is the move. Spicy pink pepper, cardamom, sweet orange, and black pepper deliver a bold, buzzing scent that keeps you sharp, focused, and ready to take on the next challenge — whether that’s smashing a workout or just making it through back-to-back plans.

Your fragrance should feel as good as it smells. adidas ‘Vibes’ is designed to do both. Discover the full range at Chemist Warehouse.
