Sample Set

A temple courtyard at first light, a chalet where snow just started to fall, a coastline gone gold with late sun — three destinations folded into vials small enough to carry anywhere.

Vacanza built its collection on a simple idea: memory has a smell of its own, and living with a single vial for a few days can say more than any description ever could. Kyoto holds the hush of cedar and incense drifting through a garden. Megève carries the bite of pine and the hush of falling snow. Cap Ferrat moves like salt air and citrus over warm stone. Wearing each one across several days lets its full arc unfold, from the first spray to whatever trace lingers after. 

The set works as an entry point, a way to wander through all three worlds before choosing the one that feels most like home.

Vacanza is the work of Jonathan Keren, who spent roughly fifteen years in the American beauty industry before relocating to Amsterdam to build a perfume house of his own. His premise was almost travel-agency simple: a fragrance should be able to stand in for a departure. Partnering with the acclaimed perfumer Frank Voelkl, Keren shaped a debut trio that treats a sunlit coast, a quiet temple garden, and a snowbound chalet less as places to describe than as moods to slip into.

Their signature is literal: every bottle is topped with a cap cut from Spanish stone, no two alike, that turns into a small diffuser once misted, letting the scent settle into a room. Cruelty-free and made in Spain, the fragrances are built to be worn alone or layered at will.
