Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Lust for Sun Eau de Parfum
Divisive doesn't even begin to cover it. You'll either love this blast of sun-soaked florals and creamy coconut, or you'll find it an overwhelming, synthetic mess. Sample before committing, unless you fancy smelling like a public toilet or an old shampoo.

Our Verdict - Sun di Gioia Eau de Parfum
A divisive scent, Sun di Gioia is either your perfect warm, beachy embrace, or it's just another synthetic sunscreen smell. It's a real shame it's discontinued, because those who love it, really love it.

Season and Occasion Fit

Lust for Sun Eau de Parfum

Seasons

Best For:
Summer
Also Works:
Spring

A warm-weather pick - at its best in summer and spring.

Occasions

Best For:
Date Casual Sport

Its potent floral and musky character, often described as 'in your face', is a bit much for the office. However, its summery, bold projection makes it ideal for casual outings, dates, and even sports where its 'clean girl' freshness can shine after the initial intensity wanes.

Sun di Gioia Eau de Parfum

Seasons

Best For:
Summer

A summer scent - airy and clear, designed for hot weather.

Occasions

Best For:
Date Casual

Its warm, creamy floral and vanilla accords, combined with moderate to strong longevity and sillage, make it a bit much for the office. It excels in casual and date settings, lending a sensual, relaxed vibe, while being too informal for most formal events and completely unsuitable for sport.
