Fresh orange zest and honeyed florals
This Sun EDP isn't very similar to the classic Sun EDT. All they have in common is that they both smell summery in a warm way - I guess that's very fitting for the name. Usually an EDP should be heavier than an EDT, but in this case, the EDP is lighter and more floral. Sometimes it seems like perfume houses have given up on the tried and true definitions of these words, doesn't it?
Anyways, I like this. The citrus opening is refreshing, but not too screechy and sharp. For some reason I thought of blood orange while testing this, but according to the notes list, it's just regular orange zest. It has a touch of bitterness, but also feels quite juicy, maybe that's what made me think of blood orange.
I'm unsure if I ever have smelled broom in real life, so I looked it up. On the internet it's described as a warm, honeyed, narcotic floral, and that's how I would describe the floral notes of Sun EDP in general. All the freshness in this scent comes from the orange and blackcurrant, not from the flowers. The florals are intertwined with a buttery, creamy, sweet benzoin base, so they feel even richer. I could have sworn that there would be some vanilla or amber in the notes, too.
The contrast of the warming base and the zestiness on top is nicely done and feels harmonious to my nose.
This is not the most mind-blowing scent ever, but a lovely summer option for fans of florals. Just don't expect it to be close to the old Sun!
For the rating I was inbetween a 7.5 and an 8, but in the end it's a bit closer to 7.5 for me personally.
