Arquiste Vacation Grand Cuvee Perfume Reviews

Fragrantica - I am a gourmand girl but I wanted a night time smoky summer perfume. This perfume smells like a boozy night on the beach by a bonfire and going on a night out on a yacht. There’s a light sweetness added by the peach to take the edge off a little. Overall it’s a smoky, spicy, boozy vanilla with a subtle sweet and fresh twist. It’s a beachy and warm scent that makes me feel like I smell expensive! I totally recommend it.

Fragrantica - This smells like a wealthy woman’s shampoo to me— in the best way (and I agree she lives on a yacht). I can practically smell the lather and foamy bubbles in my hair when I wear this. It is a great value, one of the best I’ve encountered, even at full price

Fragrantica - This is such a lovely deep, luxurious yet skin like scent. I definitely get the argan and the amber but there’s some type of creaminess and I get a hint of floral. This is something I’ll wear all year round.

Fragrantica - Smells like you just got back to your fancy hotel from the beach, washed your hair with the hotel toiletries, and you're putting on a crisp dress to go to dinner. Summery and warm without having a sunscreeny note- a rare find these days! Smells like body oil and toiletries and I love it.

Fragrantica - I am in love with GRAND CUVÉE Arquiste and I don't know why! It's unique to me, and hard to describe. I get the champagne note, and slight peach smell, but neither of those notes are any that I am drawn to, so that's different... I really love the first initial smell, right out of the bottle -- it's addicting! I am reaching for this daily.

Fragrantica - First Impression: She's a beautifully warm, sweet, and slightly spicy fragrance—perfect for spring, summer, and dare I say fall. She opens with this sparkling champagne note that adds a touch of aldehydic brightness. There's a soft gourmand feel from vanilla bean, balanced by a juicy, sweet peach (not at all musty). There's this cozy blend of powdery musk and resinous amber giving her a skin-like warmth, while subtle cognac and woody undertones add richness and depth. She's comforting, and effortlessly pretty. Very impressed by this fragrance. 

Fragrantica - I’m completely in love! Vacation Grand Cuvée is officially my signature scent. The moment I spray it, I’m transported to a luxury resort after a perfect day at the beach. It’s giving a clean girl aesthetic, sexy, expensive and effortless. I feel like the it girl when I put it on; fresh, glowing, and unforgettable.

The scent reminds me of the vibes I get when wearing Jo Malone Beach Blossom and Estée Lauder Bronze Goddess Eau Fraîche, but Grand Cuvée feels more refined and elevated. My husband can’t stop complimenting me when I wear it. He’s obsessed with it too. 🤭

Fragrantica - I love this scent; it's a little hard to describe, but I'll try: musky, warm, nutty. Reminiscent of sandalwood. The vanilla is not gourmand. There is not a noticeable grape smell at all; hints of fruitiness but more like a subtle raspberry. Reminds me more of a hair product than body oil, but I don't own the Vacation Chardonnay Oil, so perhaps that's why. If you like the smell of argan oil hair products, you'll probably like this. I thought it would be my least favorite of the Vacation bunch, but I ended up liking it he most! They're all good, nice trio of different scents. They layer well.
