‘The French word Vacances translates to vacations, and this perfume was created to commemorate the introduction of mandatory paid vacation in France.’ – Jean Patou Perfumes (Blogger)
‘Parfum-Cologne Vacances by Jean Patou: Impossible to breathe in this perfume-cologne with its exhilarating bouquet, without the springtime southern holidays storming the imagination. Behind closed eyelids appear the palm trees of the Croisette, the postcard sky, the gently swaying white yachts, the sun dust spread everywhere, and the women already brown. Why these images? Among twenty secretly musky flowers, sings the joyful violence of a branch of mimosas.’ – Combat (1954)
