Short Story Long
Short Story Long
This is a fragrance that smolders. It’s rich, warm, and transportive—not in a sugary, cocktail-on-the-beach way, but in the way a slow-burning fire glows under a sky streaked with the last embers of daylight. It’s tropical, sure, but not in the obvious, sunscreen-and-fruity-drink sense. No, this is the scent of heat rising off skin, of salt drying on sun-bronzed shoulders, of something wild humming just beneath the surface.
A deep, musky sweetness lingers, threaded with the bite of sun-scorched spice and the kind of warmth that clings long after the night fades. It’s the air after the storm. There’s a whisper of resin and vanilla, not the cupcake kind, but the kind aged in barrels and cracked open under moonlight.
It doesn’t ask for attention—it owns it. It rolls in like a slow, confident riff, a little dark, a little reckless, leaving a trace of heat and mystery in its wake. This isn’t just a scent—it’s an atmosphere, a mood, a damn good story waiting to be told.

Packaged well and arrived quite quickly in comparison to other sellers. Scents are great. Also received an extra sample which was quite welcome.
This is such a cool refreshing and sweet scent! I initially didn’t get this sample in my order so I reached out and Crystal was so quick to respond and address the matter! It was shipped to me later in the week with an extra fragrance of my choice. Such superb customer service and I’m so thankful for the extra scent! I love everything that I ordered :)
A rum cocktail without smelling like alcohol. Dark and warm with tropical twist. Vanilla comes in with the coconut and a few transparent florals that add a touch of brightness. An island getaway in a bottle. Take me back!
I’m not a sweet fragrance person most of the time and the discovery sets have been amazing to try the brand out. Holiday is a nice middle ground for me. The opening is a bit too sweet for maybe a half hour but the dry down was beautiful! It lasted all day and I loved getting the wafts of rummy vanilla and tonka throughout the day. Great for the hot SoCal summer and I’m going to enjoy my sample while I have it this season!
Holiday is a beautifully warm and intoxicating departure from the typical beachy coconut fragrance. It’s inviting, cozy, and somehow manages to feel both sun-drenched and comforting—like golden hour by a seaside bonfire. MDA has a way of bottling “warmth” better than almost anyone, and this is no exception. The toasted coconut and spiced Jamaican rum greet you with a delicious, heady embrace—rich but not cloying. That warmth melts into creamy vanilla and tonka, all anchored by a soft, smoldering woodiness that brings to mind pimento wood crackling gently by the beach. It’s cozy, but also fresh and open, like a breeze rolling off the ocean at dusk. Perfectly balanced and truly unique. It’s the feeling of a sun-warmed memory, lingering long after the sun goes down.
Great scent but I wish it lasted longer on my skin.
I wanted to love this. But I don't. I wanted a scent that smelled like a vacation in a bottle, and this does. But I don't like how this smells on me. This lasts a long time and it's a good holiday in a bottle without smelling too coconutty, but it didn't work for me. But still, this is a great scent if this is your vibe
Beautiful from top to bottom - starts with a fresh fruity burst - then mellows down and it’s gorgeous!
Holiday is one of the best summer fragrances I have! The coconut is not overwhelming at all and the rum note…yummy! Pair this with Paloma and you are ready for the beach
Received this as a free sample in my order and LOVED it. When smelling on my skin, it definitely takes me off to a tropic place. Sweet but not overly feminine. Will be purchasing a bottle soon.
Don't let the first stiff fool you! Give it a second to develop and you will have one of the most delightfully refreshing fragrances that DOESNT smell like sunscreen. Truly one of the most unique and special summer scents I've ever tried!
The more masculine version of your typical summer vacation fragrance. This is an upscale beachside bar. An old wooden boardwalk, the ocean breeze wafting the scent of vanilla from an ice cream shop with its doors open. You’re a wealthy man who owns a beach house and uses “summer” as a verb. Your date is drinking a piña colada and you’re drinking a spiced rum cocktail. You’re both dressed in organic linen and boat shoes. You applied sunscreen before going out, because even rich people can get skin cancer.
This is the sweet summer scent I needed for my collection. It's so layered!! It's not the basic coconut you find at Sephora. This is yummy and clean. Miss Crystal did her big one with Holiday
