The Smell Of Vacation™

A vacation by the beach has a tell-tale scent: salty ocean, pool chlorine, and of course, sunscreen. Meet the company that distilled the vacation vibe into a nostalgic eau de toilette (and many sunscreen products as well).
What do the dawn of dial-up Internet, pool floats, and chill, early 90s party tunes have in common? They are the tenets of Vacation Inc, the sunscreen brand born of a cheeky radio station Poolsuite.fm. Among their suncare products, the brand launched with a sunscreen-scented fragrance, which turned out to be a huge hype hit, proving what we at SYL HQ already know: People love the smell of sunscreen. We have Marty Bell, one of the co-founders of both brands, to talk us through the genesis of a sunscreen scent and how vacation vibes built a brand.
