What does Sun (Eau de Toilette) smell like?
Its longevity and sillage are rated good. Most voters recommend it for summer and spring, and see it as a leisure and daytime perfume, though some also wear it to the office. Most voters find its character feminine.
It opens with lemon, bergamot and orange blossom, a fresh, fruity start. In the heart, orris root, heliotrope, ylang-ylang and rose bring a soft, powdery floral touch. Tonka bean, vanilla and amber in the base sweeten it and close on a warm, creamy oriental trail. Solo Tu and Background have a close profile.
