Maher Olfactive Sun Soaked is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2021, created by Shawn Maher. Sun Soaked opens with Bitter Orange and Blackcurrant, settles into a heart of Neroli, Narcissus, and Chamomile, and dries down to a base of Amber and Cedar. Maher Olfactive's Sun Soaked carries an Acquired verdict, a green-led wear.

This one's a proper head-scratcher. Expect anything from crisp laundry to burning tyres - it's a divisive beast, not for the faint of heart or those who like their scents easy-going. Definitely try before you buy, it's not a blind grab.

Casual

Given the intensity and often polarising nature described by reviewers (like a strong detergent), it's probably too much for the office or formal settings. It leans more casual, akin to a bold statement piece rather than an everyday wear. The fresh and citrus accords would suit active wear if the strong projection didn't overpower.

About

Sun Soaked kicks off with a bitter burst of orange and neroli, zesty and somewhat sharp. As it settles, a clean, almost aldehydic freshness emerges, reminiscent of laundry detergent. Beneath this, blackcurrant adds a touch of fruity depth, while chamomile offers a subtle, calming undercurrent. The dry down hints at a woody base with cedar, rounded by a touch of amber, leaving a lingering, complex trail.
