The hiss of an umbrella drink being prepared on a sun-soaked patio, where the scent of coconuts and tropical fruits mingles with sea salt.

The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

Vacation by Arquiste, launched in 2021 and crafted by perfumer Rodrigo Flores-Roux, is a vibrant Aromatic Aquatic fragrance that captures the essence of sun-drenched days. The opening notes of coconut milk and water are immediately transportive, evoking the sensation of a tropical getaway. These sweet and fruity accords blend seamlessly with solar notes and watery elements, creating an atmosphere that feels both fresh and warm. As it develops, musk and sea salt add depth, grounding the composition in a sense of reality while maintaining its dreamy quality.

How to wear it

Apply this fragrance to pulse points for maximum impact — the watery notes are fleeting but the musk base lingers. It's best experienced close to skin rather than in a room, as it reads more intimate than expansive.
