History
Summer 1979, St. Tropez, French Rviera.
Experience the revival of a French Riviera classic with Vacation®'s Orange Gelée SPF 30 Sunscreen Gel. Originally a staple of sun worshippers in the mid to late 20th century, this iconic product has been meticulously reimagined by Vacation® for the modern age with the assistance of Carlos Huber, ARQUISTE® creator, Givaudan® perfumers Dana Schmitt and John Gamba 11 Orange Gelée fans and modern beauty experts via the brand’s “Orange Geleée Revival Project.”
While the product pays homage to the look, feel, scent, and shine of the original, it does so with a few important updates: it replaces the petroleum-derived oils and paraffins found in the original with natural oils and butters like jojoba, shea, coconut, and bergamot peel, and adds high-performing broad spectrum SPF 30 protection. The result? Pure luxury. Leisure lovers from around the world can now enjoy the famous balm-to-oil texture, iconic glisten, and evocative Mediterranean scent, all while protecting and nourishing their skin. Now that’s (as the brand says) “luxury defined.”
Developed with perfumers Dana Schmitt and John Gamba.

Bio
Taking cues from Poolsuite FM’s nostalgia-fueled world, Vacation hearkens back to the sun-soaked days of 80s beach culture (think Hawaiian Tropic circa 1986), while ushering it into the 21st century using the best in modern sun care science. The result? “Excessively Good Sunscreen,” as the brand has dubbed it. It's sunscreen that you crave to wear, and that’s elevated at every angle: from the look, feel and smell, to the design, price and eccentric brand world surrounding the products, everything about Vacation is designed to be “leisure enhancing.” To help deliver on this claim, industry-leading perfumers Carlos Huber, of the cult niche brand ARQUISTE Parfumeur, and Rodrigo Flores-Roux, creator of such iconic scents as Clinique’s “Happy,” developed Vacation’s addictively nostalgic signature scent. It not only sparks memories of summers spent poolside, thanks to classic sunscreen notes like coconut and banana, but also references the experience itself, with notes of pool water, inflatable pool toys, and speedo lycra. After all, it’s Vacation by Poolside FM’s mission to create sunscreen that makes you look, feel, and smell like you’ve been to paradise and back.
