Do you need a vacation?
I sure as hell do. These products smell like the tropical getaway you wish you were on right now.
It’s a Monday, and there’s no place I’d rather be right now than on a secluded beach with a pina colada in hand listening to the gentle crashing of the waves (instead of the roofers who are fixing a leak right above my office). Naturally, that signature “sunscreen” scent is a big part of this fantasy. I always have a perfume that’s reminiscent of a day of fun in the sun, and a few that have come and gone include Tom Ford’s Soleil Blanc (it’s super-expensive so you can totally get away with the body spray) and the indie brand Smell Bent’s St. Tropez Dispenser.
The timing couldn’t be more perfect for Vacation—as is the sunscreen, skincare and fragrance line. The SPFs are the main event here, and the options include mineral-based lotion, oxybenzone/octinoxate-free chemical-based lotion and the Chardonnay Oil—all with SPF 30. I would obviously need these if I was actually going on vacation, but since I’m not I’ll have to fake it ‘til I make it (anywhere other than here) with the Eau de Toilette.
With notes of petitgrain essence, coconut water, coconut milk, bergamot, solar musk, banana, pineapple, pool water, swimsuit Lycra (seriously) and sea salt, I can almost hear the steel drums. Can you?
Vacation offers a lot of other fun stuff like a hydrating face mist (ordered), yummy lip balms with SPF 30, air freshener (ordered), candles, merch (tee shirts, visors, etc.) a hovercraft that is unfortunately sold out and a tiki boat rental in the Miami area.
With a total Miami-Beach-in-the-1980s vibe, just visiting the website is like a little get-away (or a flashback to simpler times).
