Fragrance information:
La Vacanza — the scent of an Italian holiday
Maria Andreucci La Vacanza is a unisex fragrance from 2024, created by the Italian brand Maria Andreucci.
This eau de parfum has a fougère character, combining the freshness of citrus with cool mineral nuances, green tartness and a modern woody base.
The name La Vacanza evokes the feeling of a carefree journey: a clear morning, an open window and cool air after a summer rain.
The composition smells clean, energetic and noticeable, while retaining its versatility — the fragrance unfolds equally naturally on both women's and men's skin.
The fragrance pyramid and development
Top notes of bergamot and pink grapefruit create a sparkling citrus opening with a subtle bitterness and juicy transparency.
Bergamot is especially expressive, making the opening airy, sunny and exceptionally fresh.
In the heart of La Vacanza, a cool sensation appears, complemented by rhubarb and pink pepper.
The mineral ice accord seems to chill the citrus pulp, rhubarb adds a green tang, and pink pepper brings a delicate spicy vibration.
As a result, the fragrance never becomes sweet and moves swiftly across the skin with a distinctive dry freshness.
The finale is built around grey amber and Iso E Super.
The base is smooth, woody-mineral and slightly skin-like: it does not weigh down the composition, but extends its presence and leaves a clean, modern trail.
Character and sillage
La Vacanza will appeal to those who enjoy fresh fougère fragrances without obvious sweetness or heavy floral notes.
Its mood is composed, dynamic and slightly cool, making it easy to imagine the perfume as part of a city wardrobe, on a walk by the water, while travelling or in a professional setting.
The sillage is described as very strong, so it is best to apply it with caution.
No precise recommendations for the number of sprays on skin or clothing have been given for this release, and the intensity will depend on the temperature, skin type and application distance.
In hot weather, the fresh notes may sound especially vivid, while cool air will highlight the composition's icy and woody facets.
The perfumer and the brand's style
The fragrance was created by Luca Maffei, known for his attention to expressive, well-structured compositions.
In La Vacanza, his signature emerges in the contrast between the juicy citrus opening, the cool heart and the radiant woody base.
For the Italian brand Maria Andreucci, this release sounds like a modern interpretation of fougère freshness: there is no attempt at elaborate ornamentation, but there is a clear rhythm, a distinctive texture and a strong presence in the air.
If you would like to compare it with other styles, take a look at Faberlic Viking. However, La Vacanza stands out with its cooler mineral accent and pronounced citrus sparkle.
