Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

Its fresh, clean, and light sillage makes it perfect for casual wear, office settings, and even sports. It’s a bit too understated for formal events and has a more 'daytime' feel than a romantic evening.

We derive these from the materials behind this fragrance's notes, not from the bottle. Each one is likely, not confirmed. The list is partial - the box can name others.

About

Sunlight opens with a zesty burst of grapefruit and a hint of pink pepper, immediately invigorating the senses. It quickly blossoms into a luminous heart of jasmine, peony, and orange blossom, infused with a solar note that evokes sun-warmed skin. The base gently settles into clean musk, subtle ambroxan, and cedar, adding a touch of sophistication without weighing down the airy composition.
