Is he beautiful!!
Often it goes me so that I find fragrances on the wrist quite good or even very good, but they still do not want to use more generous Beduften. I assumed that it would go the same for me with Amouages Sunshine, since sweet, fruity scents are rather less mine.
Far from it. Sunshine is a really, really beautiful fragrance. As also already in the statement to the point, fruity, without being pointed or even cheesy, soft, positive, beautiful. But then what I was missing on my wrist yesterday was a sort of "here I am". With my signature By Night (White), it's the sandalwood that gives the scent something so unmistakable. However, on to Sunshine.
Intuitively, I decided this morning to try it once with him. What can I say! I am flashed. So soft, so flattering, so beautiful, so enveloping - an absolutely new fragrance experience for me.
About the fragrance:
As often written, the currant liqueur is predominant here. He should not be more present, then the fragrance could become too squeaky and too loud and would forfeit an elegance peculiar to him. No noble, clean elegance as for example Teint de Neige Eau de Toilette or White, it is a completely different fragrance direction, but a playful, pleasant young elegance. Also a bit quaffable is quite true. Certainly not everyone likes - it lulls me. Shortly, the almonds come around the corner, pleasantly bitter-tart.
As for the heart note, osmanthus, which I love very much (for example, in Osmanthus or Ultraviolet) goes down pretty much; at most, the rich fruit note; peach-like, reminiscent of him. Otherwise, an insanely beautiful vanilla and suuuper subtle floral notes prevail. Even the often intense jasmine is extremely restrained. Everything goes here so wonderfully into each other.
From the base I am equally surprised positively and negatively. Since no tonka bean, vanilla or anything else soft, powdery is contained here, I had feared that Sunshine could become too woody tart at the end. However, this does not apply at all, quite the opposite. The tobacco gives quite subtly what fine-smoky and emerges every now and then. Patchouli, which I do not like as soon as it is a little stronger dosed, is here so light that I do not even notice it; there I must again better observe / sniff. What I do miss, however, from this softness that carries through to the base, is a teensy bit of edge. At least a little provocation. Very lightly only. There is not at all, but perhaps sunshine has now times no edge, so just also Sunshine not.
Durability is ok, could be better, but also worse, 6 hours I could perceive him today. Sillage is a little more than close to the body, which fits well with the fragrance.
Flacon, fragrance and name fit together quite well, even if the sunny yellow could perhaps expect a few more citrus notes. In addition, I am glad that the fragrance does not contain (synthetic) solar notes; could well have been with the name.
About White I had once read that in the development of the basic idea was to create a fragrance that makes happy. Honestly: Amouage has succeeded with Sunshine clearly better.

Yes? No?
When I recently had the opportunity to finally get to grips with the Kilian fragrances, I decided on the name and tried Moonlight in Heaven, among others. I didn't know the fragrances before, only by sight, but if I had been familiar with them beforehand,...

Too bad, too bad, too bad....
Today arrived a very lovingly tied package of a dear perfumista - thank you very much for that! Of all my orders, the first sniff at the atomizer at Trussardi Limitless appealed to me the most. Let me start with the name. I don't think...
