Holiday scent

Whats your 'holiday perfume'?
Do you have one that you use exclusively for holidays?
I use bronze goddess, ester lauder, but keen to know of other similar scents with a beachy/holiday vibe. I don't always think the bronze goddess scent lasts well. Thanks.

Annick Goutal Eau d'Hadrien is my main summer one.

I mix Shay and blue blood oranges with EL bronze goddess (or wear them alone). Whenever family smell either they say they feel summery (only ever wear either or a combo on sunny days).

I love Miss Dior Originale in the summer - so green! You have to love galbanum, though. Not for everyone, but worth a try and a change from the usual beachy, coconut, sunscreen kind of summer fragrance.
Another favourite in the summer is Imperium by Electimuss. (Kind of citrus and vanilla ... reminds me of those little Portuguese custard tarts, Pasteis de Nata. Yummy!).

I use Nuxe oil after showing on a beach holiday and it smells gorgeous

Under the Lemon Trees by Maison Margiela is my go to holiday fragrance.

Hermes Un jardin sur le Nil. Citrussy, mango notes but not in any way cloying. I love it. Also Aerin's Waterlily Sun but I think that's been discontinued.

Zara's VetiverPamplemousse is a nice bright, sparkly citrus which is very refreshing and has reasonable staying power for a citrus scent.

Beach Walk by Maison Margiela. It's floral with a salty undertone

I like white cocunut M and S or neroli one both really nice.

Nothing, otherwise bitten to buggery!

I love bal d'afrique by byredo.
Although I can't afford a full bottle so just buy samples off eBay 🤪

Light Blue by Dolce and Gabanna

I used to love Hermes Pamplemousse Rose Concentre on holiday as the Rose notes smelt truly beautiful in the heat.
Calyx by Clinique is also a wonderful zesty fruity citrus but is discontinued again.
There are several James Heeley perfumes that are holiday orientated & smell beachy/seaside-y.
