Arquiste Vacation is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2021, created by Rodrigo Flores-Roux. Vacation opens with Coconut Water, Petitgrain, and Coconut, settles into a heart of Solar Note, Musk, Bergamot, and Pineapple, and dries down to a base of Salt, Linen, and Rainwater. Arquiste's Vacation carries a Favourite verdict, a sweet-led wear.

This one's a proper love-it-or-hate-it. If you're after pure, unadulterated beachy nostalgia - the whole suncream, chlorinated pool, and tropical fruit cocktail shebang, plastic notes included - then you're in for a treat. But if you're not into smelling like a 1980s lido, best steer clear.

This is a quintessential holiday scent - heavy on the tropical, sweet, and aquatic notes with that notable 'plastic' accord. It performs best in casual, warm-weather settings like the beach or pool, making it entirely unsuitable for formal events and a bit much for the office. Its moderate longevity makes it perfect for a day out.

About

Vacation kicks off with a juicy blast of pineapple and authentic banana, instantly whisking you away to a poolside paradise. The heart introduces a creamy coconut and 'solar' warmth, settling into a unique base where salty air, clean linen, and even a playful suggestion of plastic mingle, perfectly capturing that sun-baked swim-kit vibe. It's an entire day at the lido in a bottle.
