What does the sun smell like, anyway?

In fact, its better defined as something inspired by an overall essence or vibe.

But what does a sun-inspired perfume even smell like?

Sunlit Blooms is DedCool’s newest perfume.

What Do Solar Perfumes Smell Like?

Pinning down what the sun smells like, however, requires a bit of imagination.

The sun smells yellow, like yellow flowers, says Givaudan perfumerGuillaume Flavigny.

PHLUR Solar Power Eau de Parfum features notes inspired by the sun.

The sun is essential in our lives.

It’s something positive, optimistic, strong.

Bee Shapiro, the founder and CEO ofEllis Brooklyn, echoes Flavignys sentiment.

Sun Force Parfum

[Sun perfumes] can evoke sensuality, bare skin, and also joy.

The sun is a strong yang energy, says Flavigny, who is the perfumer behind this fragrance.

[I added] a touch of narcissus and burnt smoky woods.

Vetiver is reminiscent of the rain-drenched earth of spring, and vanilla-drenched sandalwood honors wintertime.

IfSunlit Clementine & Vetiverwere a destination, it would no doubt be The Hamptons.
