Sun Kissed

The opening is delicately done, and for the first ten seconds I get more orange than pomelo. By "delicately" I mean there are no rough edges to me, and nothing noticeably synthetic. I can also detect a cream soda hint, but it is not a main player at all and dissipates very quickly. For sure, there are aldehydes in this, the orange kind, but beautifully done here. There are light floral, ozonic notes as well, but no one would call this a floral fragrance. I believe there is a touch of an aroma chemical called floralozone in here, as I've worked with that raw material a lot. I can understand the references to Artisan Pure; there is something spicy going on in both that smell the same, except that the openings are different, with Artisan focusing more on bergamot/lemon. But after the initial pop, there is a vague similarity to Artisan Pure. I almost want to say I smell cinnamon, but it's likely another spice. In fact, if someone told me Sun Kissed was Artisan Pure's flanker, an updated, more modern, and tropical take on it, I would believe it. The pomelo comes in shortly after the orange pop, taking it into a sour (but nice) direction. Also, I just noticed something fruity peeping up. I think it's the Aperol chemical? I've never worked with that specific raw material, so I don't know. But it's working well with it (it has this sour echo of something like Mitro, but not exactly). Maybe this is what happens when you mix grapefruit compounds with fruity apple compounds? In any case, it works. Quite pleasant, and a breath of fresh air from those other fruity, overly-synthetic smelling colognes from the Jean Lowe line (or other houses attempting to clone stuff like Pacific Chill and Afternoon Swim). Every single one of those smells like a candy, a soda, or something synthetic you might smell in a mall diffuser/scenting space. But not this one. I'd say it almost reaches the quality of an Aqcua di Parma. My first wearing, so I'll update later and edit in the drydown. EDIT: The sour fruity note (sour on a good way) stays persistent, which is surprising. It's like I'm getting 45 minutes to an hour of topnote. That's amazing. It doesn't dry down to that dry woody, pencil shavings that some Middle Eastern frags do. This one comes across as more musky than woody in the drydown. Very pleasant, but this one is going to be a skin scent after ten minutes. It's hard for others to pick up after 5-10 minutes, the same way Artisan Pure is. Still, I'd say this is a love for me. Basically, you're getting the same performance here as you would with Artisan Pure.

Sun Kissed Aromatix di French Avenue ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A mio parere, si tratta del miglior citrico attualmente in commercio. È una fragranza che si distingue nettamente per qualità e struttura, distanziandosi dalle composizioni più comuni. La Fragranza L'apertura è caratterizzata da un pomelo molto realistico e un’arancia amara pungente e naturale. Presenta un'evidente affinità con il DNA di Tygar e la spinta aromatica di Vibrato, riuscendo a bilanciare i due aspetti con equilibrio. Nel cuore si sviluppa una nota legnosa secca e nobile che richiama la pulizia di Solo Cedro di Loewe, elevando la composizione a livelli tipici della profumeria di nicchia. Performance La proiezione è molto intensa per le prime due ore. In un test comparativo con fragranze estremamente persistenti, Sun Kissed ha dimostrato di possedere una struttura solida, mantenendo la propria scia e identità senza svanire. Il drydown evolve in un blend pulito di legni, tè e ambroxan. Utilizzo Ideale per le temperature elevate della tarda primavera e dell'estate. Nonostante la natura citrica, la concentrazione in estratto garantisce una densità tale da renderlo adatto anche a contesti serali. In sintesi Qualità: Materie prime eccellenti, assenza di sentori sintetici fastidiosi. Resa: Performance paragonabili a estratti di nicchia di fascia alta. Profilo: Un'ottima alternativa per chi cerca un citrico strutturato e persistente. Voto: 9.5

Update 12/16/2025: I went to a Sephora to smell Never-ending Summer to see if there is any resemblance. Sun Kissed smells incredibly close to Never-ending Summer (almost 1:1 actually) but is fizzier on the dry down and is found at a fraction of the cost. Worth every penny. This is easily my favorite of Neeb's new releases by far! It opens up with photorealistic citruses (namely the pomelo and orange) then later turns into something like an orange cream soda. This stuff is fantastic and I just know citrus fans are gonna love it (I know I do). The scent is definitely unisex with no particular lean in my opinion. As for its performance, the scent kept pushing to my nose for about 4 hours and stayed on my shirt for about 8 hours. This was also straight out of the box, so I imagine maturation will lead to even better results. Overall, Sun Kissed is an excellent fragrance that I definitely see myself wearing more often, regardless of the time of year (though I definitely see how it is best worn during the Spring and Summer). If you are a fan of citrus scents, this is without a doubt one of the better fragrances on the market.

Nose Note #992 This and Carnal Desire are my two favourite from Aromatix so far. I haven't tried only two - Teas Me and Forbidden Fruit. I totally didn't expect it to actually be similar to one of my most favourite scents ever - Cartier Declaration. It seriously is very similar. The opening is more sparkling and unisex - it has a very naturalistic bitter orange opening, like a San Pelligrino fizzy drink. But after some minutes it basically becomes a Declaration dupe. It does lack certain masculinity and the general strength of the OG. The OG is more synthetic compared to this, more peppery, the citrus accord is more accidic. You can call this a flanker to Declaration. This is summer-perfect fragrance, very refreshing. Not a boring citrus fresh fragrance. Smells like great quality. Definately leaning masculine overall, the opening is misleading. Performance is good for a fresh fragrance, definately not "non-existant" like many freshies are. 8.8/10, I really like this because of the Declaration connection

I absolutely love this one. The opening hits you with a crispy, fizzy freshness that’s just addictive, eventually settling into these clean, soapy, woody tones. It’s a true freshie, so while it won't gas out a room, the personal scent bubble is fantastic. Longevity is the only trade-off; it fades to a skin scent after the first hour. But honestly? At this price, I just go heavy on the trigger. It’s light enough that you can't really overdo it. It performs much better on fabric, but I prefer using a travel decant to refresh during the day. Keeping that sparkling opening and the soapy drydown on repeat is definitely the way to go! Finally, a special shoutout to the bottle and packaging. It’s subjective, of course, but I’m a huge fan. The box design, with the Aromatix logo peeking through, is a brilliant touch. The bottle itself feels high-quality too. Solid glass, shiny decals, and a satisfyingly heavy cap. And man, you’ve gotta love that gradient! This is my first aromatix bottle, but i will get more.

Sun Kissed is a very fizzy, spritzy aperol, citrusy cocktail type of scent. Using the pomelo and bitter orange notes was the right choice here as it creates this premium, more upscale type of citrusy smell rather than the synthetic citrusy superblast of a stereotypical blue-green scent. It's slightly green and sweet but a bit bitter and zesty but it's totally right for the scent. It's not only refreshing and bright like most citrusy summer scents -- It's addictive to smell. I don't know which note is responsible for this -- maybe it's the sweet cream soda-type accord together with the tea and the ambertonic notes. This is a total home run. So easy to wear, yet quite unique due to the composition. It reminds me a bit of Versace Man 'Eau Fraiche', although it's compositionally different, I think about them as distant cousins with similar personality -- it's another totally addictive citrus scent that's also much greater than the sum of its parts, as is Sun Kissed.

This was my first Aromatix bottle and let me tell you it was the best choice out the ones I had the opportunity to smell before purchasing. It was a close call between Sunkissed and Platine Blanc. I sided with Sunkissed the moment I put it on skin I was just in awe of how realistic the orange is in this. Followed by the evanescence from the cream soda and the spritz. This can be worn during the day but since I live in Florida this will only worn during sunset and night circumstances. I understand longevity isn't the greatest but for dates and other occasions this is perfect for warm weather. You will stand out amongst the sea of middle eastern clone fragrances. If you want something fresher and made for more daytime activities I would recommend platine blanc over this. I truly believe these two are absolutely perfect vacation/tropical scents.

This is a warm soapy citrus tea fragrance. I definitely make out the pomelo, it's actually quite realistic. The name definitely suits it .. it's like warm clean skin on a summer day. Ever so slightly indolic that you smell in niche frags, so there's definitely something floral due to the roundness of it .. so I wouldn't necessarily say that it's fresh but it's definitely skin like.. for some reason I wouldn't be surprised if I smelled this in a Louis Vuitton lineup at $400. And yet obviously this is much much less expensive but it definitely has the quality there. The woods in it aren't too strong I can definitely smell the vetiver which gives it that soapy quality and cashmeran which gives it the cozy not quite leather aspect. Fully unisex imo.

This is a very light citrus smelling fragrance and not much more. It's extremely summery and I do like it, but much lighter than I expected due to the couple of other aromatix ones I've purchased. Not that that's bad, ive had designer summer fragrance that aren't beast mode either so not a complaint. What I can't tell at min is either I'm getting nose blind to it or it has bad performance. Based on other reviews prob bad performance so might need over spraying. The other aromatix I have are magnetiq and plantine blanc and as a summer fragrance plantine wins hands down. So if U want a nice summer smell that projects and last is recommend plantine blanc over this.

So I blind bought this based on reviews and scent profile. As far as scent goes this smells fantastic, it's like artisan pure but with an orange peel zest, and a dry down that reminds me a little of LV meteore/NR bleu noir EDP. So basically it's like a mix of artisan pure, meteore, NR bleu noir EDP and Orange soleia, all of which are fragrances that I enjoy. I don't know about performance yet as I just got this, but speaking from scent only it's a win. Very nice for the summer and spring. Edit: the more I wear this the more I like it. As much as I like Artisan pure, I think I like this slightly more. Great pick up and good quality for the price tag.

This is my second favorite from neeb’s releases, first favorite is Platine blanc, but unfortunately that is currently very hard to find because of limited availability, but this sun kissed, is a great alternative for that to me. I can literally rock this of in summer days in office, gym or hangouts. Very photorealistic orange with soda with a subtle hint of tea note. I’d say it’s a more safe blind buyable fragrance than other new releases if someone is looking for a fresh bright summer fragrance. But the only problem I’m facing with this is it’s performance. I’ve decided to macerate it for the next 2 months and see what happens after that.

This is a fantastic summer scent for $40. I bought it last year and was not nitially impressed. I just broke it back out last month and I can't stop wearing it. For context, I'm in Philadelphia and it has been brutally hot the last 30 days and this is perfect for hot humid weather. Longevity and sillage are average but if you spray it about 4-5 times you'll get a solid 5 hours out of it on the skin. My wife loves it on me. A bright lemony citrus scent with a touch of vanilla and what smells to me like freshly cut 2x4s. Let it macerate for a while and it turns out to be a wonderful cheap little summer grab.

I wasn't sure about the blind buy, but I'm very glad I went through with it, as this scent is amazing for the summer! The opening is a beautiful and sharp lemon-lime zest bomb that cuts straight through your nostrils with a fizzy background. The best way to describe the scent is the bubbly fizz on top of the soda that comes out of the soda machine when you fill up a cup of Sprite. It dries down into a subtle but beautiful green tea scent that almost smells like a lotion. The bright & zesty citrus does die down pretty quickly though, which is my only critique. I would recommend!

This is insane. Literally shot up to become thus far my favorite fragrance in my collection. Yes to someone that cant really smell that well they'll mainly pick up on the smell of an orange peel. As it begins to dry down I swear to me it smells like thr combination of a sprite/fanta - I say fanta because that orangy smell stays throughout and a cream soda and fizzy note starts to kick in. The cream soda note smells so gd good. This smells amazing. But it also smells cool like cold ish. So its almost like a cross between a fanta and a orange creamsickle/popsicle as it settles.

Neeb is really nailing it with this fragrance line. These fragrances are hella confusing and smell different each time for the first few wears due to them being the opposite of a linear fragrance. This has a sharp zesty mix of citruses in the opening a bit resemblant to TH eau givrée and then the tea and cardamom start appearing slowly and merging in to create what people say smells like "wet wipes"😂😂😂 Amazing for summer, unisex and mass appealing. For the performance, its a freshie you gotta overspray.

I haven't smell the fragrance that it is "inspired" by. What I can say about this fragrance is just how it smells like as a lot of influencers talk nonsense. Sun Kissed smells literally like a twisted Mojito, meaning : You can smell mint, tonic, gin, even some white rum in there, lime and lemon. This is literally it. A very simple fragrance. Why I compare it to a twisted Mojito? Because mint is really strong in here. It does also smell a lot like a Gin - Tonic cocktail.

Straight up, this smells like GNTONIC by Micallef with a touch more sweetness. Some might compare it to Replica’s Never Ending Summer, but it’s definitely much closer to GNTONIC. If the performance holds up, it’s an easy 10/10 for gym, office, or daily wear. Update: Dry down smells like wet wipes, it's way more feminine than a masculine, yea not for me though, fantastic smell but that creaminess at the dry down makes it more feminine.

Pleasantly surprised by this one. Opens up with a blast of pomelo, bitter orange and floral, dries down to a : crisp citrusy, spicy/sparkling scent with a woody undertone. Imagine : Cartier Declaration with an added fizziness. If you like Cartier Declaration like I do, you would like this as it has quite some similarities. Longevity is where this falls short, I get max 4h.

Bitter orange and pomelo up top, Woody aromatic, warm weather, beach and vacation lane - genuinely well composed. 5 stars on the scent itself, no complaints there. But performance is where it holds itself back a bit - moderate longevity, though projection is solid while it's on. Gentlemen and ladies both, summer daytime wear. Bought in the US for $40

I really like the smell, I’ve heard it described as what a luxury hotel in Italy smells like. To me it smells like a really good bar of soap. Performance is pretty weak though so you’re definitely going to have to reapply pretty consistently. I got my bottle for $35 from Burlington but if I paid $60+ for this I would definitely be pissed.
