I like this perfume…it reminds me of Avon’s Tahitian Holiday, except I do prefer Tahitian Holiday over Instant Vacation. Both are nice and remind me of suntan lotion on my skin in the sun…not exactly a classy fragrance but very wearable in summer and very nostalgic for me!

All of the notes are prominent…jasmine, coconut, and vanilla. Delicious! It does remind of Bronze Goddess, but with a little less knockout (that’s a good thing).

Definitely has a strong likeness to Bronze Goddess the one with the bulls eye label on front. Thank you so much to my lovely swap partner I have a bottle.I am in love with this one. I just went on a trip to the ocean and sprayed this on myself and all over my room the entire time. It was so beach appropriate.
My take on it is that it’s a very comfortable and different scent. It’s very similar to Bronze Goddess the one with the bulls eye on the bottle. It’s got that milky beachy coconut scent. I absolutely and completely am head over heels with this scent. Only downside is that she is a fader… if only she had lasting power. That’s ok though i’ll bathe in this bottle the rest of the summer.

Instant vacation – what a fantastic name for this fragrance. I have had the same bottle for years now and I have used it only when I am actually on holiday at a tropical location.
I remember reaching for this bottle a few weeks back and oh how it brought me back to those beautiful places. The scent is pretty linear: fruitiest coconut-vanilla scent but the connection to my travels is what I love about this little number. Ok longevity with moderate sillage.

One word……NOSEGASM!! :p
Love it! One of my faves!!! Love that is reminds me of a light, breezy, summery day with the wind blowing in my hair and I am wearing a long, light, gauzy skirt and riding the boat along the waves in the crystal blue waters, then jumping out of the boat onto the hot, pale sand and feeling it tickling it’s way between my toes!! Then watching the palm trees sway in the wind and setting up my hammock to take an afternoon siesta in the shade! 😀 Then waking up and sipping on a cocktail in a coconut shell with a straw and watching the sun set on the horizon!! Ahhhhhhhhhhh

This is a fun and cheap beach in a bottle from Avon 🙂
I bought this when it first came out and have used it a handful of times on those really hot days and I guess I’ve sort of been saving it. The seasonal beachy ones they’ve been coming out with the past few years just really don’t compare to this one. The new ones are a bit watered down for my taste, but this is pretty potent.
This is the scent of suntan oil and coconut mixed with the hot sun. Yeah it does have that detectable alcohol scent, initially, but for the $12 I think I paid for this I’m not really going to complain.

Definitely a beachy perfume, but it almost reminded me of a cheap perfume from when I was a kid (not a bad thing). Very fresh and tropical.

Given to me as a gift. It Just smells like Coconut’s I am not a big Coconut fan so this one was a no for me!! But for anyone who likes Coconut smells try this!
bobyorr – :
Coconutty and fresh. This is pretty much just coconut, with a bit of jasmine peaking through. It’s sweet in a toned down way, not sugary. I find this scent a bit boring, but still better than suntan lotion.

I used to own this back when I sold Avon.I gave it away. Has a very plastic/fake smell…J. Lo glow is a much better casual summer fragrance for younger women!
For those of you who like this scent…Avon just released another Mark brand instant vacation scent….Ibiza Sol…a tropical scent with notes of honeysuckle, pear, white geranium and musk! Now that I plan to buy and wear this summer!

This is the best summer, beachy fragrance that I have tried. And it was discontinued. Why do they do this? I am glad to have several on hand.
sociolog – :
If you like Estee Lauder’s Soleil, give this a try. It may be a bit more coco-nutty, but it is so similar! I love it as a pick me up in the summer. My bottle is older now, but I still will squirt a tad on after a shower on return from a long day at the beach. Put it in your hair and you will smell like a Tahitian Goddess! 🙂 Cheers!

I love this perfume it’s defiantly a favorite
valv22 – :
This is the one summer scent that I adore. I have several bottles stocked away. Perfect for summers at the beach or when you wish you were at the beach. Really smells like and “instant vacation”.
I found that it has great lasting power – actually all day long. Avon needs to bring this back every summer.
scoummormh – :
love it but doesn’t last long enough… but as the bottle is plastic i always take it with me in my beachbag :)i m wondering, hmmm, where’s the coconut in the fragrance notes listed?? i can smell it!

This is the perfect instant summer vacation scent. Both my daughter and I love it. Smells like maybe a suntan lotion but a zillion times better.
Devais – :
This fragrance is not highly known in EU – and for that I’m quite thankful: my own and alone BEACH perfume. I can’t wear it unless it’s min.of 30°C, but then it’s delightful. The (very heady) jasmine with multifruit-juice+coconut is quite nice for casual summer day.
I tried it 2 weeks ago and suffered almost hyperventilation to get just some O2 inside instead of perfume – so I suppose a lot of beachy air and heat do the trick 😉
THANKS FOR ADDING FRAGRANTICA!!!!
