The Feeling Of Summer, Bottled
More Than A Scent
Some fragrances remind you of a place. Others remind you of a person. The ones we return to most often remind us of a feeling.
For us, that feeling has always been summer. Not just the season itself, but everything that comes with it — longer days, slower afternoons, warmth on skin, and the ease of being exactly where you are. Annual Leave began with the idea of capturing that feeling and turning it into something you could wear.
Why Summer?
Summer has a way of staying with us. Certain moments become attached to certain scents, and years later, they can come rushing back without warning.
We kept returning to the same memories:
✦ Days that felt endless
✦ The warmth of sunlit skin
✦ Fruit shared by the pool
✦ Evenings that arrived slowly
✦ The feeling of having nowhere else to be
Those moments became the foundation for Summer Vol. 1.
The Scent Of A Memory
Summer Vol. 1 opens with bright notes of lychee, peach nectar, and red fruits before settling into warm florals, amber, and sandalwood.
The result isn't simply fruity or floral. It's a scent designed to feel familiar from the first wear — as though you've known it before, even if you haven't.
Warm. Light. Effortless.
Something Worth Returning To
We don't create fragrances to sit untouched on a shelf. We create fragrances to be lived with. To become part of your season. To be worn often, finished fully, and remembered long after the bottle is gone. That's what Annual Leave is about.
One scent. One season. One feeling worth returning to.
