Solar Notes

Elizabeth Arden

Green Tea Summer opens with a citrus splash — lemon, mandarin, and the slightly jammy tartness of black currant — that reads more as a prelude than a statement.

O Boticário

The name translates to "Vanilla Sky" and the opening earns it: lemon and pink pepper flash briefly, bright and slightly spiced, before giving way almost immediately to something warmer.

Victoria'S Secret

Forever Sexy reads like a sunny solar floral that never fully commits to gourmand.

Zara

The opening balances sun-warmed mandarin against wormwood's dry bitterness, with cardamom providing aromatic spice and saffron adding a faintly leathery warmth underneath — a more adventurous top tier than Zara typically attempts.
