What does Sun (Perfume) smell like?

Mandarin orange and orange lead, mimosa softens them, and sandalwood lays a warm, woody floor underneath. The notes read as a single piece, and the spicy touch keeps the sweetness from turning sugary.

Longevity and sillage are rated weak, so expect a light scent that stays close to the skin. Most voters pick summer and spring, and leisure, daily wear, sport and office come up far more than evening. On character, feminine votes edge ahead, with masculine and modern close behind. Hové Valiant and Hermès Eau de Mandarine Ambrée have a close profile.
