Oriflame Sun 1996 is an Eau de Toilette launched in 1996. Sun 1996 opens with Red Apple, Orange, and Blackcurrant, settles into a heart of Jasmine, Lily of the Valley, Freesia, and Cardamom, and dries down to a base of Musk. Oriflame's Sun 1996 carries a Favourite verdict, a musk-led wear.

A nostalgic hit for many, this fruity-floral is a pleasant, no-fuss summer spritz. Shame the performance is so fleeting, it's barely there before you know it.

Scent Profile

Composition

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.

When To Wear

Best Seasons

Best For:
Summer

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

Best Occasions

Best For:
Office Casual Sport

Its weak longevity and intimate sillage make it suitable for casual wear or sports where a subtle scent is preferred. It's too fleeting for formal events or dates, though its lightness could work for an office environment where strong scents are frowned upon.

Declarable allergens

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.

Declarable under EU Annex III

  • Limonene from Orange
  • Synthetic musk Hexamethylindanopyran from Musk

The large name is the everyday one. The small name is the INCI form on the box, so you can compare the two. Reactions differ between people. A patch-test panel is not a ranking of risk. How we derive this

About

Sun 1996 opens with a bright burst of red apple and juicy orange, immediately uplifting and fresh. As the fruit mellows, a delicate floral heart of jasmine and lily of the valley emerges, softened by a hint of spicy cardamom. The scent gently fades into a clean, understated musk base, leaving a light, airy trail.
