Kyoto
A still morning in a temple garden. Steam rises from a hinoki bath, incense drifts through cedarwood, and time seems suspended. Kyoto is clarity and reverie in equal measure. Pink pepper and red berries opening to hinoki, sage, and cypress, deepening into incense, palo santo, and vetiver. A fragrance of quiet ritual, composed like air, shadow, and silence.

“Vacanza is a perfume brand that takes you away for a moment, without having to pack your suitcase.”
“The caps are crafted from porous, natural stone: earthy, tactile, and one-of-a-kind. A simple spray of perfume transforms the stone into a diffuser: an object to treasure, display, or carry with you. How cool is that?”
‘With a rock on top, with these fragrances you are always on a vacation. Travel from Kyoto, to Megeve to Cap Ferrat’.

Yes. Every Vacanza fragrance can be finished with a cap cut from real Spanish stone, each one unique. Because stone caps are naturally heavy, we include a lighter regular cap with every bottle, so you can travel easily without leaving your fragrance behind. We also offer a refill version with only the regular cap for a more affordable, lighter option.
Absolutely. Each fragrance is crafted to stand beautifully on its own or to be layered for a signature blend that feels uniquely yours.
