Now I decided to write a comment in addition to the statement, because the fragrance just flashed me so.
I have to preface this by saying that as a high school student in the 90s, I was a fan of the first hour of SUN EdT, the iconic sun scent in the white bottle. Sunscreen, summer bathing, Italy, soft ice cream and good vibes. I had never smelled anything this good before, I wore it all the time, the old one was powerful after all, I didn't have much pocket money so my little 30 ml bottle lasted forever. The deodorant I also liked to use, just as intense and just feel good.
Fast forward to the 2000s: SUN is still there, smelled quite often, on many people and often overdosed. I still like it but I no longer have a bottle, he is me, perhaps also because of the Helioptrops, which I like but which can be slightly suffocating, just often "too much".
Now I read here the very first good reviews for the new EdP, go in the afternoon after work still quickly past in the perfumery, actually to test the limited summer 2020 SUN, which, by the way, is so far the best summer flanker for SUN, coconut water and the feeling that one wears after a beach day on the skin, fresh and very light, but at the price you can spray after yes more often, very well suited for sultry hot days and reminds me strongly of "Miami Glow" by J Lo. But that's just by the way - so I'll test the Summer2020, take the bottle too and then still look for the new EdP. I imagine that it must be even heavier than the EdT and I'm skeptical, but testing can be done.
The first impression is orange, I think well, pure orange I do not need now, and then he is there: the broom! In the notes it is called "Pfriemenginster Absolue" (Spartium junceum), also called rush broom or Spanish broom. This one does it for me! You know that scent that's behind the sea in the dunes in the summer? That's exactly the smell it captures for me here.
Other notes that I find dominant: amyris (sandalwood-like), orange blossom, of course, which must not be missing in SUN, it draws but for the felt / associated "sunscreen accord" responsible, benzoin and a peppery spicy note. What surprises after some time is that something "mineral" appears, not salty, not "stony", as in Terre, more like the mineral note in "Arizona". This note is rather fresh, but lasts very long and is still very recognizable the next morning. Is that the carrot seeds?
What is not there: heliotrope, the benzoin is also quite enough to create a lovely sweetness, the jasmine contributes sicherich also.
Overall, I must confess, this is the most beautiful "new" Sun I have ever smelled. Price-performance ratio very good and I am positively surprised, this SUN is a real innovation and I think, hope that it becomes a success.
Who loves the sweet heaviness of the EdT, will find here a refreshing counterpart that remains true to the original character, who exactly this can not smell (more), will find an alternative that is not just a flanker, but a real development.
Edit: unfortunately, many still compare with the white "old" Sun EdT and are then disappointed. It is an eigenständigsr, completely new fragrance, you have to know beforehand.
