CreamyWhat does Sunlight (Eau de Parfum) smell like?
It opens with pink grapefruit and pink pepper, then moves into a floral heart of jasmine, white peony and orange blossom, with a solar note alongside. In the base, cedarwood, ambrox and musk leave a soft, woody footing. Fruity and sweet touches round it off, with a slightly synthetic sheen.
Longevity and sillage are moderate. Most voters pick spring and summer, and daily wear, leisure and the office lead the occasions. It reads feminine and modern. Elizabeth Arden White Tea Mandarin Blossom and Clean Solar Bloom have a close profile.
