Vacation has officially entered the perfume and scented candle scene after receiving high praise on social media for their sun-protecting products — most notably their bestselling Classic Whip sunscreen.
TikTok-loved beauty items are typically known for providing high-quality results with aesthetically pleasing packaging, addictive scents and/or a wallet-friendly price, with Vacation being no exception.
After receiving consistent love over the smell of their sunscreen, the skincare brand finally took notes and expanded into the home and fragrance category. Now, you can wear the summer-inspired scents beyond sunscreen and stock up on Vacation’s new perfumes. And if you’re looking to turn your home into a tropical oasis, the beauty brand has you covered with a variety of candles that’ll bring a cozy yet vacation quality to your space.
TikTokers especially can’t help but squeal over the brand’s adorable packaging for the Whip sunscreen, which was made to look like an actual whipped-cream can while featuring aromas of coconut and banana. More than 91 million videos have been made on the social media platform just for Vacation sunscreen, showcasing how much of a fanbase the brand has gathered.
User @carewithkate also showed how effective the sunscreen is, going as far as to use a UV light to spotlight the amount of coverage Vacation’s sunscreen actually provides — hint: It’s a lot. The video has gathered 1 million views, with the TikToker stating it’s a sunscreen that “really takes the cake” as it “doesn’t leave a white streak” and applies consistent.

Vacation Sunscreen Classic Whip
The TikTok viral Classic Whip sunscreen is marked at just $22 and features Vacation’s signature scents, which holds notes of banana, coconut, pool water, pool toys and swimsuit lycra. When applied, the texture comes out creamy, with the aim to be lightweight and smooth. After application, the sunscreen remains waterproof for up to 80 minutes.
Vacation Super Spritz Face Mist
For a quick spritz, Vacation’s face mist will give you practically instant protection against harmful UV rays with just a spray. The formula includes 50 SPF and also features the brand’s iconic signature scent (instead of the classic sunscreen smell). It also aims to apply clear with no white residue, so you can spray it even over your makeup.
Vacation Sunscreen Home Resort Scented Candle Set
Turn your home into a resort with Vacation’s candle set, which includes three different luxury candles created in partnership with ARQUISTE Parfumeur. This pack comes with all of the brand’s resort-inspired candles (so far): Lobby, Suite and Pool Boy or you can purchase each individually. Lobby comes with notes of flowers, high gloss magazines and ocean breeze while Suite has aromas of linen, cleaned surfaces and island breeze and Pool Boy smells of coconut sunscreen, swimming pools, towels and cologne.
“VACATION” by Vacation
Rather than layer on Vacation’s sunscreen for the scent, the beauty brand launched a perfume of the popular smell that won’t have you throwing SPF on when the sun goes down. It’s not only a bestseller on Vacation’s official store, but more than 1,000 bought in past month, according to the online retailer.
“VACATION” by Vacation Candle
If you can’t get enough of the viral scent, you can also purchase the Vacation candle, which also spotlights the scent featured in its popular sunscreen. The candle isn’t just display-worthy with its black and gold coloring, but is paraben- and paraffin-free using a 100% cotton wick. For additional savings, you can also purchase a duo pack that includes the candle and perfume for just $89 (reg. $102).
“AFTER SUN” by Vacation
This unisex perfume looks to emody the scents and feeling of summer nights and after sun care. You can expect notes of aloe vera, green tea, melon, linen and resort towels. It arrives in a clear bottle that is worthy of being a simple yet elegant piece of decor.
With the rise in popularity of pickleball and tennis, thanks to movies like Challengers, Prince teamed up with Vacation to debut a limited-edition candle to help bring tenniscore into your home beyond Prince apparel. The exclusive collaboration is still in stock and you can pick up one of the display-worthy candles below.
Ball Boy Scented Candle
The Prince x Vacation candle comes in a tennis ball holder-shaped container for a more sporty aesthetic. Once lit, you can expect scents of cucumber and cotton with a premium soy blend wax and 100% cotton wick.
