Portofino

A harbour on the Italian Riviera, bottled as effortless glamour.

Jasmine, tuberose and gardenia bloom against the sparkle of citrus. Wisteria and white flowers spill over sunlit walls. Lemon and bergamot brighten the harbour air, with the sea just past the terrace. It lingers like a long lunch by the water, warm and luminous and in no hurry to end.

Every cap is a genuine natural stone, selected, shaped and fitted by hand, so no two bottles are quite alike and none will match the image exactly.

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.
