The Amalfi Coast Effect: Why Vacation Scents Feel So Addictive

There’s a reason certain scents instantly transport you.


The warmth of citrus in the air.

The softness of salt carried on skin.

Florals warmed by sun and stone.


Vacation scents tap directly into memory and emotion. They remind us of moments when time slowed down, when days felt indulgent and unhurried. This is what makes them so addictive.


Inspired by the effortless elegance of coastal Italy, Pleasant’s fragrances are designed to evoke that exact feeling: sunlit mornings, open windows, long afternoons, and quiet evenings by candlelight. Not trendy, not artificial, just deeply atmospheric.


Unlike sharp or sugary candles, vacation-inspired scents are layered and lived-in. They don’t try to impress. They invite you to stay.


Lighting a candle becomes more than a routine ... it becomes an escape.


Pleasant brings the feeling of the Amalfi Coast home, not by copying it, but by capturing its mood: relaxed, refined, and endlessly indulgent.
