About

Strong Sun is Perfume Parlour's budget take on Paco Rabanne Olympea Solar. It opens with Orange Blossom, Mandarin Orange, Orange Peel, leads into a heart of Oakmoss, White Flowers, Solar Notes, and dries down to Benzoin, Ylang-Ylang. The overall character is citrus with floral and woody facets. It is a lighter, more linear interpretation than the original - less of the expensive nuance, but the headline accord comes through clearly for casual everyday wear.
