Sun, salt and deserted weekend
Very unusual. At first I didn't like its sweet creaminess (cosmetic, not pastry) and dryness. Then I gave it a few more tries and understood it.
The promotional poster really captures the direction well, it's summer somewhere on a salt estuary, sandy slopes with sparse vegetation, completely deserted and a young couple sunbathing naked, no one and nothing to be embarrassed about - just summer, heat, nature and them.
This is how she or he can smell (yes, on the 18-year-old son it is also good) - young, hot from the sun, salty from the water and a little sweet from the cream body).
Sounds to me like an intimate and sensual, bodacious fragrance.

Sweet-tart-salty summer beach mimosa fragrance (it really has little to do with the 90s SUN)
I was curious about Sun Sea Salt & Gennista and got myself a 10 ml bottle. I tested it for the first time a good six months ago in cold weather and wasn't really impressed. Today, 6 months later, I definitely like it better. It's actually a little too synthetic for me at the moment. Let's see if it can stay.

The Sun Sea Salt & Genista starts aquatic, synthetic, tart-salty. Then a soft floral-herbal sweetness is added (mimosa) and it becomes more balanced. The mimosa (and possibly also broom later on?) makes it somehow exciting.

Towards the end, I experience a slightly aquatic, sweet-tart-salty and slightly creamy mix. I've never smelled anything like it before and the longer it stays on my skin, the more I like it. And after a good 5 hours, the synthetics are also gone and it reminds me of that wonderful skin smell when you've been by the sea in the sun.

It could easily pass as unisex if you like that light, floral sweetness. The H/S is not very long, maybe 4-6 hours? Depending on how much you mist yourself?

But for me, it has nothing to do with the original Sun Eau de Toilette from the 90s (yes, I still own one of those!), or later versions.

Conclusion: you can (as an absolute Sun fan), but you don't have to.

Unfortunately, I think broom is commonly used in toilet air fresheners so the connection my mind is making when I smell this is "poop" :(
