&quot;AFTER SUN” by Vacation is the signature scent of the “Illustrious” Vacation Brand After Sun Gel. Developed with ARQUISTE Parfumeur, it immerses the wearer in the classic “after sun setting” with notes of Aloe Vera Gel, Green Tea Verjus, Aqua di Colonia, Open Weave Linen and more.

Vacation's After Sun captures that sun-soaked, post-beach vibe in both scent and design. True to Vacation’s style, the bottle has a retro, minimalist look with bright colors and clean lines that stand out on any shelf, even the box is beautiful! The fragrance itself opens with fresh, cooling notes of aloe vera and cucumber, bringing an immediate sense of relaxation, while hints of coconut and banana add a mellow, tropical edge. Its base notes of musk and cedarwood ground the scent with a subtle warmth, making it suitable for casual, everyday wear. Longevity is moderate, lasting several hours before fading to a gentle skin scent, making it ideal for day trips or casual outings when you want that beachy feel without overpowering. Playful yet sophisticated, After Sun offers a refreshing, laid-back vibe that brings a touch of summer any time of year.

As a 59-year-old self-employed Uber/Lyft driver, I love indulging in skincare and self-care, and I recently added AFTER SUN by Vacation to my routine. This eau de toilette immediately transports you to a relaxing summer day. The fresh notes of Aloe Vera Gel and Green Tea Verjus are incredibly refreshing, making it perfect for those long shifts behind the wheel when you need a boost. I found the scent to be light yet long-lasting, with a blend of Aqua di Colonia and a subtle hint of linen, which gives it a clean, sophisticated finish. It pairs well with my skincare routine, providing a comforting fragrance that doesn’t overwhelm. I love spraying it on my wrists and neck in the morning—it keeps me feeling refreshed throughout the day. If you're someone who appreciates a fresh, summery scent that’s both relaxing and energizing AFTER SUN is a great choice. It’s a must-try for anyone who loves a laid-back yet elegant fragrance.

I was super excited to try this product as I am an avid perfume wear and have a collection of at least 15 perfumes upon reading the description. It said it had top notes of aloe vera essence, green tea and melon. The middle notes were cardamom aqua de colonial, ozone, tonic mini bar, all which sound amazing upon receiving the perfume. I wore it out for the first day and was very underwhelmed. I thought it was very aloe vera forward, which was not exactly what I was expecting. I did not get much of the other scents up front, but as I wore it, the scents became more fragrant. I am a little torn on how I feel about this perfume as it would not be one that I would go to out of my collection. I will continue to wear and see if my opinion changes overtime.
