Guys, I stumbled upon something great here. The brand Grandeur is brand new and I just received Soaked Sun fresh. No reviews yet, here comes the first one.
The Sun has one of the best fresh fruity top notes I have ever smelled. 3 sprays on the arm and the fruit basket is swung vigorously through the room. Don't sniff at the spray spot for the first 10 seconds, it’s initially quite sharp and a bit alcoholic. But then the bright madness begins. I opened my eyes wide immediately. It’s extremely delicious and has a strong projection. I can't say which fruit dominates here. But it is very, very fruity and leans towards the citrus direction. After 10 minutes, the scent calms down a bit, but it remains citrusy and fruity. Just not quite as overwhelming anymore. Fragrance pyramid? Forget it. The fruit basket from the top note carries through from start to finish. It just dims down piece by piece until it’s gone.
It is said to imitate "Afternoon Swim | Louis Vuitton." I can't say if it captures it well, as I don't know that one. But maybe that's why I like the Sun so much, completely unbiased.
The Sun is made for high summer and provides a nice refreshment. Is it totally natural? No, it definitely is not. It is quite synthetic, but in a cool way. And it is linear, very much so. The scent journey is absent. Here you get fruity freshness from start to finish. But that’s exactly what I want in high temperatures. Niche lovers will surely despise it and tear it apart here. But that does not diminish the fun it brings in any way.
The bottle is stylish and even has a magnetic cap. However, the cap could have more grip. You can't lift it from there. I would have preferred the bottle to be yellow, with yellow content. That would have suited the scent better. The blue color suggests an aquatic vibe, which it definitely is not. The sprayer is fine. As a tip, keep the packaging. Only on this is the batch code.
Sillage? Quite strong for up to 2 hours, then still well perceivable in the close range. Longevity? After about 5 hours it was almost gone. But that doesn’t matter, the thing costs €25. Spray again if you feel like a boost.
Conclusion: My scent this summer when the temperatures soar. Give it a try if it sounds interesting to you.
Without your review, I probably wouldn't have bought it, thank you! :)
