Sun Sorbet Jil Sander 2012

...is the scent and so will probably be the content of the bottle, when I look at it here.
I bought it just before it was released. With limited editions, my collector's instinct kicks in. I used it properly for the first time today - summer has kept us waiting long enough, now it's finally here. Yay!

I sprayed it all over myself this morning after showering. Sun Sorbet has little sillage and a short longevity. The previous reviewers have already mentioned this, and I can only confirm it. So, I used it as a body spray and packed it in my handbag for work. By the way, the bottle is made of glass, but I have a big bag... normally, I transfer almost all my fragrances into travel sprays, but this time I didn't do that. The travel spray would be empty by now; I either overdid it, or the liquid is lighter than I even thought... Since I received no comments from my female colleagues (who are usually quite chatty), I’ll assume the latter.
If I were to use the scent eight more times like today, the bottle would be empty (I always feel very proud of myself when I finish something). So, in that sense, the price isn't so cheap...

Anyway. Little longevity, little sillage, little scent development. Sun Sorbet is, unlike the original, not compact at all, but, as the pretty pink bottle suggests, very transparent. Fruity above all, with a hint of blackcurrant, sweet jasmine, and sugar on top. But still fresh and bright. Summery.

If it stays warm a bit longer, I’ll finish it. This summer :)
