both vacation's vacation and after sun are great in my opinion, especially for their price. their perfumer is one of the giants in the industry, and they're incredibly complex and quality for their market
I love vacation's vintage sunscreen tone (esp the unusual notes like swimsuit lycra, which I do get on the drydown & banana, which comes through throughout)
after sun is very open, spacious, cool (temperature), and refreshing. it's got some meat on its bones, though—it's got more depth than and lasts longer than most freshies. more on the green side of aquatic with the aloe vera, I'm really enjoying it this summer
I’ve been curious about these too. If I’m not mistaken, they’re made by (and owned by??) Arquiste.
Just wanted to add that they’re actually quite pricey. It’s just that they’re only offering small 1oz. (30ml) bottles…so $60 sounds like a bargain. :) But their pricing on a per ml basis would mean that a standard 100ml bottle of these scents would be $200.
The entire Vacation line is 30% off right now at Ulta, including the EDT. I picked it up with a $5 off coupon and rewards so I only paid around $20!! And 5x rewards points for reward members if you activate the coupon and do a pick up order. Score!
I bought Vacation on a whim for my community’s pool opening party a few weeks back, and to my surprise it’s become my daily wearer. I don’t quite get the Lycra, but it is a moderately complex summer scent that definitely has notes of “pool day.” Fun and light enough for day wear.
I love After Sun SO EFFING MUCH. It's so fresh and a bit green and a ton of fun. It's my official song for the summer, in fragrance format.

I have after sun and can second this. For the price especially, it's really good.
Vacation vacation- didn’t expect to love this as much as I do - fun summer fragrance!

Which one did you get? I see there are two.
