Why We Chose One Scent A Year

Less, But Better

The fragrance industry is built around constant launches. New collections. New editions. New releases every few months. We wanted to do something different. Instead of creating more, we decided to focus on creating one scent worth remembering.

The Philosophy Behind Annual Leave

Annual Leave was built around a simple idea: one summer scent, released once a year.

That approach allows us to focus on what matters most:

✦ Small-batch production
✦ Thoughtful formulation
✦ Higher quality ingredients
✦ A clear creative vision
✦ A fragrance that feels complete

Rather than spreading our attention across dozens of products, we put everything into one.

A Scent For The Season

Summer Vol. 1 was designed specifically for warmer days and longer evenings.

Bright fruit notes create an immediate sense of energy, while florals and woods bring warmth and depth as the fragrance develops throughout the day. It's designed to feel natural in summer — never heavy, never overwhelming.

Anticipation Matters

Part of what makes something special is knowing it won't always be available.

Each Annual Leave release exists for a moment in time. When the season ends, that version becomes part of the past. The following year brings something familiar, but never exactly the same. That's why we create one scent every year.

Not because we can't make more. Because we don't need to.
