Sunshine

Wow! Its such a sweet, smooth, warm fragrance that is very reminiscent of a cotton t-shirt being dried in the sun. Its in the family of fuzzy sweater because they are both very reminiscent of clean fabric. Though sunshine is warmer, sweeter(vanilla) and breezier. fuzzy sweater is more like a cooler version but by no means the same. Just in the same family. I feel like sunshine reminds me of a lotion I used to have with either cocoa butter or shea butter. Maybe im wrong but it gives me that sweet lotion smell. Its light and I feel like demeter captured the warmth of the sun with this one :) its lovely! I feel like I could wear this anytime honestly. Lesser in fall and winter though. Wearing it in the winter would remind me of summer.. so I think it would be ok to warm me up! This one is a love. Simply because I could see myself wearing this all the time!

The company is up-front with what exactly this smells like: A clean cotton t-shirt, freshly laundered and dried by the sun. It is a very tender and sweet scent that brings back memories of visiting my grandmother in the country. The longevity is brief...within 2-3 hours the scent is nearly gone. The silage is appropriate for a woman of any age in any setting. Those standing approximately 2-3 feet may share this experience, put I believe using this scent is mostly an intimate pleasure. I definitely will be repurchasing this scent for that comfortable, just out of the shower and relaxing feeling. Appropriate for the spring or summer, and great for layering under a more powerful juice to give a warm accord.

This is a nice surprise. It smells exactly like Floating Island dessert (madartej in hungarian)! It is very delicious and I keep smelling my wrist. On me I smell bourbon vanilla and maybe some alcohol with fresh notes that are very mild. I think I am very content with this blind-buy after reading all the comments on here and I'd define it as a cute and happy fragrance! The lasting power is not the best, but it is acceptable.^_^ 9/10

On my skin it starts as powdery, then I notice sunscreen—a blend of orange blossom/Neroli, coconut, jasmine, and vanilla. Together the powdered laundry musk and the sunscreen it incapacitates sun-drenched cotton. I envision a shirt freshly washed and hanging to dry on a clothesline along the breezy summer coast. Think BeachWalk by Mason Margiela ,SunBum, Soleil Blanc by Tom Ford.

I received an oil rollerball of this as a free gift with an order from Demeter. This isn't a scent I would have been quick to try based on the description of "cotton warmed by the sun", but since what it actually smells like is vanilla with a hint of flowers, I think it's lovely! Part of me feels it ought to smell like its description, but with these kinds of fantasy scents that are mostly artistic concept, I don't really fault them for not getting it right as long as it smells good. A lot of reviews seem to mention citrus, which I don't get from this- just mostly vanilla, with a floral whisper so soft I can't decide if I'm imagining it or it's really there. It could just be something with my body chemistry and Demeter's oil formulation, since I've noticed this very faint floral quality with another of their scents in the oil version. Longevity is decent- I put some on a few hours before bed and could still smell it when I woke up the next day. Seems to last *forever* on clothing! Very feminine and pretty fragrance, and one that should layer well with my favorites. Thank you, Demeter!

I initially did not like this fragrance, but I sat on it and came back a couple months later and tried again. I'm glad I did. This does remind me of sunshine. I get notes of clean linen, powder (but not dry powder, more clean and soft), and vanilla. There's also a small touch of citrus to brighten up the vanilla. This is not a fragrance to leave an impressive scent trail to get all the compliments. This is close, and just for you. It's comforting to wear on a cloudy, dreary day when you miss this summer sun. It's clean skin right out of the shower with a sun dried cotton t-shirt. Very soft all around. My son thinks it's an "old lady" perfume, and I can kinda see that with the powdery notes, but I think this is all ages, all genders, and all seasons.

According to Demeter this is supposed to smell like warm cotton that's been in the sun. Well, I'm not sure how your sun-warmed cotton smells, but mine does not smell like vanilla with a touch of citrus and maybe some yellow flowers. To be fair, on initial spritz, this smells "warm" to me and there is a touch of something in it (citrus? musk?) that smells like clean linen, but it's well hidden beneath the vanilla. The drydown is nearly all vanilla and lasts for quite a while (4+ hours) but is a soft skin scent after the first hour. Overall it's a pleasant, if not ground-breaking or unique, scent that's easy to wear.

Received this beauty in the post today, and its such a lovely fragrance. So very clean smelling, with such a nice grounding of vanilla, who wouldnt wanna wear this. Perfect for Spring/Summer here in Australia. I can definitely get away with wearing this at the beach. Unfortunately it doesnt remind me of clean shirts and cotton or any of that, it just reminds me of - happiness. I havent smelt anything quite like it. It projects moderately, carries in the breezes well, and lasts a while, been wearing it for a few hours, and no complaints from me. Scent = 7/10 Longevity = 6/10 Projection = 6/10 Bottle design = 7/10

I have been eyeing up the Library of Fragrance perfumes at Boots for a while now, and finally bought two! Sunshine wasn't one that caught my eye, but unlike the ones that did (rain, snow), it did catch my nose! A lovely fresh vanilla scent with a hint of citrus. I definitely recognised the scent as it brought back memories but I couldn't put my finger on it...until now! It smells exactly like Licor 43, a lovely liquor with 43 ingredients, the most obvious one is vanilla. Very lovely smell and I can't wait to layer it with more musky and smoky scents, to create something more dangerous.

Sunshine is the spring-summer perfume for me. I am an autumn-winter girl I like warm fragrances and I find it difficult to wear perfumes which are defined as "summer scents". However I love Sunshine because it's is fresh yet warm, clean yet sweet. It somehow smells bright and happy as its name. It has a beautiful mix of vanilla, citrusses, soft powder and musk. The only bad thing about it is the longevity. It is has a weak longevity but sillage is better than any approximate Demeter fragrances. And the best part is Sunshine lifts my mood every time I wear it.

When Demeter says" like a cotton t-shirt warmed by the sun" I totally get what they mean -It smells EXACTLY like this (I'm a lil bit of a hippie though ;)). You know how you can taste the sunshine in room temp strawberries? I can smell something similar here, but with a soft, worn t-shirt. It's glorious. A must try for everyone!

This is a really pretty scent, although not what I would say sunshine smells like. This perfume reminds me of Lavanila's Summer Vanilla, which I don't see in the database at Fragrantica. It is really a creamy, warm vanilla. I like it, but not what I was expecting!

This scent is warm and soft. I really like it, I had no expectations with blind buying this and was pleasantly surprised. If this fragrance had notes listed I would say they would probably be vanilla, powder, musk, orange blossom and ozonic notes.

Vanilla! Slightly ozonic at first, with some soft citrus, but the dry-down is almost all vanilla. Lots of compliments with this one.

soft and powdery smelling, would be nice in the spring, might need something brighter for summer

Hmmm its not bad, i think it would smell better on other people than on me, especially i think for women over like 35 years i dont know why, i feel like im to young to wear it. For me it smells like sunscreen mixed with a big swoosh vanilla and laundry but not the one i like...its not bad but not pleasnt to smell for me. Just neutral ig. I wont wear it though. It doesnt smell like i expected from the reviews i read, but who am i to juge blind buying a perfume based on comments hahaha😩!!

i 've had this perfume for a while and i've never loved it, i wore it a few times but it has poor longevity as demeter perfumes often do and so most of the bottle was used on heavy spraying. i like the smooth florals in it, the lotiony-vanilla notes, but i find the aldehydes are wayyy too strong for me and it ends up smelling very soapy and alcoholic. i think this could be better as a perfume to layer with, or spray heavily in the summer with your sunscreen.

this was the first perfume i got as a teenager. at the time, i hadn't really smelled anything else so i liked it and wore it a lot. it smells like a texture, or like the feeling of rubbing powder between your fingers. it also has a vanilla scent, and a subtle laundry on a clothes line scent. it's somewhat nostalgic. i haven't worn it in a few years and don't plan on wearing it again

This mainly strikes me as a lemon-tinged, sweet skin musk scent. I'm surprised that most of the reviews point out vanilla, which I can understand with the sweetness, but for me this is much more skin musky than anything else. It's okay but I don't love musky scents and it gives me a headache after a while.

My mom took one sniff and said "Cabbage Patch Kid." She's pretty spot on. I was hoping for more of a fresh laundry in the sun smell. This is just so vanilla.
