Nothing groundbreaking, it is what it is. A modern interpretation of an old school cologne for men.

Its decent by all means.

Nice fresh citrus, but the gin & tonic backdrop doesn’t work for me.

Extremely easy to wear, classy take on a classic cologne. Fine for office, uplifting, good for any season. Easy safe default reach.

Old school men's cologne opening with sharp and zesty citrus, followed by a very soapy drydown. Fresh and clean but rather unexciting.

Soapy, almost like pinesol or mop water. This was not a pleasant scent and I didn’t detect a lot of the other notes.

Not the only one of its kind
An early summer breakfast in the garden. The rising warmth elicits a soothing and invigorating aroma from the trees. At the same time, the dew cools the air down a little and provides a fresh breeze from time to time. Although the lavender and geraniums are not yet in bloom, they are already trying to create a wonderful veil of fragrance over the flower beds.

A really beautiful summer fragrance for relaxed days, which certainly works in other seasons too. Serious, mature, straightforward, unagitated and a touch elegant. The greatest quality of this fragrance is its unobtrusiveness and simultaneous depth. An almost unique DNA in the perfume world, because it is not alone! There is a brother...

The Sunday Cologne is very similar to Acqua di Parma - Quercia, although the latter was released ten years later. La Quercia is the oak (Latin Quercus). A fitting name that aptly describes both fragrances - even if both perfumes "only" work with (oak) moss. However, the similarity between the two fragrances only becomes apparent after a good half hour. The Sunday Cologne is initially much fresher. Here, you sit down at the breakfast table with a freshly showered bergamot citrus.

For me, Acqua di Parma is the "Intense" version of Sunday Cologne. Spicier, woodier and a little louder. But still far from a shrill perfume. I like the spicier Quercia a little better - on top of that, it has better longevity. Both fragrances are wonderful - Italian-inspired - summer perfumes that stand out from the usual citrusy-aquatic mainstream. Summeriness is achieved here through a woody freshness, which is certainly not always so easy.

Sunday Cologne and Quercia - two fragrances that subtly spread a good mood.

Easy Sunday
Sunday Cologne is a classic citric-spicy men's fragrance in a very modern garment, which looks fresh and serious to me at the same time. The beautiful commentary from FvSpee made me aware of him.

Fragrance:
It opens with a strikingly acidic, citric and spicy note that conveys freshness as well as seriousness. The fragrance tends towards the artificial, but in a positive sense, and almost to exaggeration, because both the acidity and the spiciness are already very clear. In my nose they are not too much, but they are very distinctive and give the fragrance a clear modern character. It is very linear and does not change over time.

Durability and Sillage:
On my skin the scent is clearly perceptible for about 4-5 hours, then it decreases rapidly and is still easily perceptible for about 3-4 hours. For an EdP this is quite a manageable durability. One-time after-spraying during the day is certainly the order of the day.
The Sillage is very reserved. In my opinion an overdose is not possible.

Availability:
Due to the fragrance characteristic described above, the fragrance already appears elegant, but is nevertheless universally applicable due to its cologne structure. The beauty of it is its combination of freshness and seriousness. It's this seriousness that makes him so attractive to me. Due to its dimmed citric-sour freshness it is well wearable even on very warm days, as well as due to its distinctive spiciness on cooler days.
It looks elegant and is therefore particularly suitable for more formal occasions. But even in a casual environment it is not out of place.

Flacon:
His puristic style, both in colour and form, is ideally suited to this very modern, classic Cologne character. The lid holds magnetically and everything looks very valuable (e.g. raised pressure) and stable.

Result:
With the Sunday Cologne Byredo has succeeded in creating a very modern interpretation of a classic cologne/man's fragrance, which combines freshness with seriousness. It has a slight tendency to exaggerate, but it is distinctive and has character. For me, the term Easy Sunday fits well with him, because it exudes the speciality of a free Sunday through its light elegance and the striking.
