Description
“AFTER SUN” by Vacation® is a refreshing Eau de Toilette that captures the quintessential post-sun glow, immersing the wearer in the classic "after sun setting." It opens with a bright and verdant blend, evoking the sensation of freshly applied aloe vera and cool green tea. As it develops, a unique aquatic and effervescent quality emerges, reminiscent of a crisp tonic or a poolside cocktail, before settling into a comforting, clean finish that conjures the softness of resort towels and line-dried linen. This fragrance is designed to transition you seamlessly from a sun-drenched day to a relaxed evening. Perfumers: Carlos Huber and Rodrigo Flores-Roux
