PowderyWhat does Rising Sun smell like?
Longevity and sillage are moderate, and most voters recommend summer and spring. It is picked mostly for leisure, daily wear and the office. Voters tend to read it as feminine, with some calling it modern.
It opens with marine notes, lemon and mineral notes for a cool start. Rose, ylang-ylang and jasmine absolute add a soft floral heart. In the base, musk, mirabelle plum, cashmeran and coconut leave a fruity, creamy, sweet finish. Maison Margiela Beach Walk and Le Labo Neroli 36 (Eau de Parfum) have a close profile.
