Our verdict on Sung: Acquired

Sung by Alfred Sung is a classic 80s floral powerhouse that's truly a love-it-or-hate-it affair. Expect potent white and green florals - no shrinking violets here. It's bold, memorable, and definitely not a blind buy.

While some find it acceptable for the office, its strong sillage and potent nature mean it's better suited for evenings or formal events where it can truly shine without overwhelming. It's definitely not a sport scent, and its assertive character makes it less ideal for casual, close-quarter wear.

About

Sung opens with a vibrant, almost aggressive blast of hyacinth and zesty citrus, immediately commanding attention. This green-tinged freshness quickly gives way to a colossal heart of white florals, dominated by jasmine and lily of the valley, with hints of spicy carnation and powdery iris adding depth. The dry down mellows into a sophisticated blend of oakmoss, vetiver, and creamy sandalwood, softened by amber and a whisper of vanilla, leaving a lasting, elegant trail.
