Holidays

A late afternoon spent lounging by the ocean, where the scent of coconut and vanilla wafts through the air, mingling with the salty breeze.

The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

Launched in 2016 and crafted by Pierre Montale, Holidays by Mancera is an intriguing blend of sweet and marine accords, creating a distinctive olfactory experience that feels both comforting and refreshing. The fragrance opens with the bright freshness of bergamot and coconut, which gives way to a heart of tiare flower and ylang-ylang, infusing the composition with a delicate floral sweetness. The base notes of vanilla pod, sandalwood, sea notes, and white musk create a warm, powdery atmosphere that lingers on the skin.

How to wear it

Apply a light spritz to pulse points; the sea notes are particularly prominent in the first hour. This fragrance is best worn close to skin for its full effect, as it blooms gradually throughout the day.
