By the editors · 2 min read**Sung** opens with a bracing citrus-green salvo—galbanum and bergamot cutting through the sweetness of ylang-ylang—that immediately signals its 1980s lineage. This is not a polite floral. The top is sharp, almost astringent, before mellowing into a lush bouquet where jasmine and lily of the valley share space with the apricot-like warmth of osmanthus. The florals are full-bodied but never cloying, held in check by that persistent green thread.
As it dries down, sandalwood and oakmoss anchor the composition with a mossy, woody embrace that feels both classic and grounded. Vanilla and amber add a soft glow without tipping into dessert territory. The result is a floral chypre that balances boldness with restraint—structured enough for the boardroom, sensual enough for evening. It wears with the confident femininity of its era, unapologetic in its projection yet surprisingly wearable today for those who appreciate perfume with backbone.
