Sunshine Man

عطری است که عنصر اصلی و بنیادین اون گیاه لاواندر هست. شروع عطر با بوی تیپیک گیاه اسطوخودوس (یا همان لاوندر) شروع میشه. این رایحه با بوی شیرینی همراه هست. البته بوی شیرینی اش نسبتا ملایمه و غلیظ نیست. بعد از یک ساعت این بوی شیرینی از بین میره و عطر بوی گیاهی بیشتری بخودش میگیره. در این مرحله سان شاین از شیرینی به سمت تلخی حرکت میکنه. به طوری که بعد از یک ساعت اصلا شیرینی از عطر حس نخواهید کرد. قبلا در یکی از نقدهایی که از یکی از عطرهای این برند داشتم؛ به این نکته اشاره کردم که کمپانی های بزرگ جهان؛ در رنج محصولاتی که تولید میکنند؛ یک نوع شباهتی رو سعی میکنن که در تمام محصولاتشون در نظر بگیرن؛ بصورتی که در عین متفاوت بودن محصولاتشون از یکدیگر؛ یک رد پای خیلی خاص رو هم در نظر میگیرن که متعلق به محصولاتشون باشه. به عنوان مثال؛ کمپانی بی ام دبلیو رو در نظر بگیرین؛ این شرکت با وجود محصولات متنوعی که تولید میکنه؛ ولی شما با دیدن اتومبیلی که متعلق به این شرکت هست؛ بدون توجه به آرم اون میتونین حدس بزنین که این اتومبیل از برند بی ام دبلیو هست. در اینجا هم وضعیت به همین ترتیبه. این برند که از برندهای مشهور عطر هست؛ یک رد پای ظریفی رو در بین بعضی از محصولاتش داره. به عنوان مثال در همین عطر؛ بعد از حدود یک ساعت بوی عطر تا حد زیادی شبیه به عطر دیگه ای از همین برند یعنی براکن میشه. همونطور گیاهی؛ تلخ و نئو فوژه مانند. البته در عطر سان شاین؛ اون صلابتی رو که در یک عطر فوژه حس میکنین وجود نداره؛ ولی رایحه ی کلی عطر بسیار شبیه به براکن هست. این شباهت از حدود یک ساعت پس از اسپری کردن بوجود میاد و تا حدود 3 ساعت و نیم بعد از شروع عطر باقی میمونه. بعد از 3 ساعت و نیم؛ عطر یه حالت عودی (ونه دودی) به خودش میگیره. بعد از 7 ساعت از زمان اسپری عطر؛ این بو عوض میشه. خیلی جالبه که دقیقا بوی عودی قبل؛ اینبار میشه بوی دودی (ونه عودی). در این مرحله دیگه عطر حالت شیرینی به هیچ وجه نداره و کمی به تلخی میزنه؛ ولی کماکان رد گیاه لاواندر رو اون پایین میتونین حس کنین Aroma is the main and fundamental element of that lavender plant. The fragrance starts with the typical scent of lavender . This aroma is accompanied by the smell of sweets. Of course, the smell of sweets is not relatively mild and concentrated. After an hour, this sweet smell disappears and the perfume takes on a more herbal scent. At this point, San Shine moves from sweet to bitter. So that after an hour you will not feel the sweetness of the perfume at all. Previously in one of the reviews I had of one of the perfumes of this brand; I mentioned that the world's largest companies; In the range of products they produce; They try to have one kind of resemblance in all their products; In such a way that while their products are different from each other; They also consider a very special footprint to belong to their products. for example; Consider the BMW company; Despite the variety of products it produces; But you see the car that belongs to this company; Regardless of its logo, you can guess that this car is from the BMW brand. The situation is the same here. This brand is one of the famous perfume brands; It has a subtle footprint among some of its products. for example; Consider the BMW company; Despite the variety of products it produces; But you see the car that belongs to this company; Regardless of its logo, you can guess that this car is from the BMW brand. The situation is the same here. This brand is one of the famous perfume brands; It has a subtle footprint among some of its products. For example, in the same perfume; After about an hour, the smell of the perfume is very similar to another perfume of the same brand, namely Bracken. As well as plant; Bitter and neo-fouger. Of course in Sunshine perfume; There is no strength that you can feel in a Fouger perfume; But the overall scent of the perfume is very similar to Bracken. This resemblance occurs about an hour after spraying and lasts for about 3 and a half hours after the start of the perfume. After 3 and a half hours; The perfume takes on a Oud (not smoky) state. After 7 hours of perfume spray; This smell changes. It is very interesting that it smells exactly like the previous one; This time it smells smoky (not oudy) At this stage, the perfume has no sweetness at all and is a little bitter; But you can still feel the trace of lavender down there

FIRST IMPRESSIONS: I don't normally buy Niche...I am into a lot of them but find that they aren't worth the price FOR ME to own. So many are either reformulated and weak, or over priced for what it is or just way to mature than I want to smell at this stage in my life. If I am going to spend over $200 on a fragrance it has to perform well, it has to evolve somewhat, it has to be as natural as possible and I don't want to be the only one around me who enjoys it. Sunshine man fits all those boxes. Im noticing that a lot of Amouage fans who don't like this scent are of a certain age. They can't appreciate this scent because to me this is a Niche Fragrance made specifically for a younger (or young at heart) demographic. I appreciate that Amouage is targeting Millennials with this scent. So much of their frags are on the formal or serious side. It's nice to see Amouage make a more playful versatile scent. But of course it will have it's detractors. U'll hear people who love DHI, Ultra Male, Black Orchid, Sauvage and other sweet frags call this scent too sweet...lol...Taste is a funny thing...Anyway It is a sweet scent but Vanilla and Tonka are my thing and this has both those notes as main players. For those who are curious what this smells like...If u are a fan of vintage candy or are old enough to remember when companies made Candies in the shape of Cigarettes. They came in colorful boxes made to look like Cigarette packs. The Candies were skinny round white sticks with a red dye on the end to represent it being lit. lol...That's exactly what this smells like as its drying down. This fragrance is the Benjamin Button of scents. Ironically when i first smelled this it came across as very mature which i attribute to the very pronounced lavender opening. Within minutes this mature scent transitions to a fun younger playful and fun vibe. If u are a young professional u may find this scent very appealing...If u are an older guy with a youthful spirit or good genes that has preserved you, i'd also consider this scent. Just because ur older doesn't mean u have to smell serious all the time...There's a time and place for everything and I think many men of any age could find a lot of times or places to add a little SUNSHINE in their lives...

I fail to see why this scent receives so much negativity. After the first spray I get get an intense wall of lavender and orange, immortelle,and clary sage. After around 5 or 10 minutes the magic begins. Boozy ripe orange envelopes you, which mixes with the juniper,immortelle,and incredibly beautiful vanilla and Tonka bean. These notes seem to change over the course of the day. One minute it's orange and vanilla ,the next a velvety chocolate Tonka, immortelle and orange,the next juniper and vanilla , it is simply incredible and a true showstopper. I get very little lavender after the initial blast , and I do not agree ,to my nose anyway that this is over sweet. Infact I do not find it nearly as sweet as DHI or Valentino Uomo for an example. Now I'm not very good at putting into words what I am feeling, but I can say for sure that whilst I feel that Amouage produce the most spectacular stunning fragrances known to man, I fail to see how this can be surpassed. I think this can be used year round and whilst sometimes it does my head in to see "masterpiece" being banded around so readily, in my opinion this comes very close. This is such a departure from the intrinsic Amouage resinous smoky DNA ,with maybe the exception of Reflection man . Well let me say that although I am not such a spring chicken any more this is a fun gorgeous creation, and I have received more compliments in the first four days of wearing this than any other scent in my lifetime. The one disappointment to this jaw dropping scent ,is that after eleven hours or so of this journey,as the final wisps of vanilla and orange finally disappear, is that I have to wait until the following day before I can restart this beautiful awe inspiring experience once again.

I've said it before and I will say it again: I struggle to think of a better recent collaboration in the perfume world than Christopher Chong and Pierre Negrin. These two have given us some of the best perfumes of the century. Sunshine Man starts with an effect of curtains being thrown open to reveal a bright summer sun. It's very bright, it's very hot, it's very big, and it takes you a few seconds to recalibrate your senses and your mind. Lavender and immortelle bring skin-hugging warmth and comfort, orange citrus brings a fresh and invigorating energy, and brandy glues all of these accords together while providing an ample dose of nose-tingling heat. Just like the summer sun, the perfume is going to bear down on you in full, bright, warming glory. Once the sun moves through the sky (the top notes dry down after a couple hours), high-noon brings forth accords of juniper, sage, and bergamot. It's uniquely fun and pleasant to see juniper, sage, and bergamot have such late entries into a perfume since most shove them into the top notes. The heart does not hit you like the opening does, but it still feels very bright and warm, like the sun is no longer in your eyes but has warmed the room around you. As time goes on, tonka and cedar begin to peak their heads out; the sun is fading, and getting cooler and relaxing, letting the warmth of everything around that has absorbed its rays throughout the day do the work for it. The energy and life-force of this perfume is truly wonderous to behold. It is sunshine and warmth and joy in a bottle. Drawbacks or negatives? None that I can tell. The performance is Amouage at its finest, and the materials used are top-tier. I cannot imagine life without this luminous sunshine in it, so it is truly a shame that Amouage has pulled it from our skies.

I used to think "Invasion Barbare | Parfums MDCI" was the benchmark for modern (fougere) lavender - serious, dry, and impeccably tailored. But Sunshine Man quietly outmaneuvered it. I kept the Amouage creature and let the MDCI go. Sunshine Man's opening is an immediate burst of aromatic lavender, sweetened by orange brandy and dry, herbal immortelle. It’s a curious boozy, floral, and slightly candied mix. I see that some have likened it to Pez or candied citrus, but it never veers into syrupy slop territory. Instead, it’s textured... almost grainy, like sun-warmed sand. As it transitions into its heart, the fragrance becomes greener and more aromatic. Juniper berry adds a gin-like freshness, while clary sage and bergamot bring a crisp, herbal lift. This phase is where the backbone structure really shows: the sweetness recedes slightly, and the composition breathes. The late drydown is where Sunshine Man settles into something more grounded. Vanilla and tonka bean lend a creamy softness, while cedarwood anchors the composition with a dry, woody base. The immortelle still persists, maintaining the sun-dried, warm hay-like texture. Performance is solid. On my skin, it lasts 10+ hours with moderate projection. It’s not a room-filler, but it radiates around you. 3 to 6 sprays, depending on your personality... and, if I know that I will spend most of my day outdoors, I am happy to increase the count. Some say it’s not "Amouage enough.” I disagree. Even in 2015, Sunshine Man was proof that the house can extend its footprint into something unexpected... something that doesn’t have to rely on incense, smoke or bombast. Sunshine Man is impressionistic, versatile, textured and it scores high in my book. I'd sample it, while it is still available.
