By the editors · 2 min readSun announces itself with a blast of orange blossom absolute—thick, heady, almost narcotic—tempered by a milky sweetness that suggests tonka or vanilla. It's full-throttle and unapologetic from the start, the kind of fragrance that fills a room before you enter it. Within minutes, a powdery jasmine emerges underneath, softening the edges without diluting the intensity.
As it settles, Sun reveals its deliberate simplicity: this is orange blossom treated less like a note and more like a subject, explored in all its facets from green to honeyed to nearly indolic. The sweetness never turns gourmand, but it does flirt with the edge of being cloying, which some will find intoxicating and others overwhelming.
This is not a fragrance for subtlety or office wear. It's best suited to someone who wants their presence announced, who enjoys white florals at their most generous, and who doesn't mind reapplication since longevity can be modest. A sunny day in concentrated form, with all the glare that implies.
