Sun

Sun, created by Pierre Bourdon for Jil Sander in 1989, is a warm, sunny floral with a sweet, ambery base. Flowers lead, sweetness is strong, about half notice woods, and a minority mention musk, amber and citrus.

The opening is bright and fruity: black currant and fruity notes give a juicy sweetness, bergamot, Amalfi lemon and African orange flower a sparkling citrus-floral glow, and palisander rosewood a soft woodiness. The heart brings rose, ylang-ylang, carnation, heliotrope and orris root, a creamy, powdery and slightly spicy bouquet. The base is rich with tonka bean, amber, benzoin, vanilla and tobacco leaf, a warm, sweet and gently smoky finish.

Wearers are split between moderate and long-lasting wear, and the trail is moderate to strong. It is voted mainly for summer and mostly for daytime. That suits warm days, holidays and daytime plans, for anyone who wants a radiant, sun-warmed floral.
