Sweet Sun

I finally have another bottle of this (God, it's so pricey to obtain now. That should be a hint to you, Dior, that there's some serious revenue to be had with this one.) I haven't had a bottle of it in years since it was first released, but it was my everything for a few summers in a row in the mid-00's. I know this bottle has been stored for quite a few years, and it's held up surprisingly well for not having any alcohol or anything to preserve it. Nothing compares to this for a summer scent. Not Maison Martin Margiela Replica Beach Walk, not Bobbi Brown Beach, not the Escada scents I wore in my early 20's, not even Armani Sun di Gioia. Please bring this back, Dior. It's a masterpiece. Fresh batches at regular retail prices would be orgasmic. This is just one of my all time favorite scents, period. Seasonal or otherwise. Like everyone else has said already, it really is sun and beach water in a bottle. Magic.

Back again after all of my years of loving this beauty, and still trying to find the perfect dupe. No luck. To the reviewer below who mentioned to stop “unicornizing” this fragrance, ahhh, you just don’t know what it was like the first time to smell this circa early 2000 and fall in love hard, and still be in love all this time later. There is no similar comparison and feeling this fragrance evokes. Of course, you will not find fresh bottles nowadays so I can’t blame anyone new trying this, but if you’ve been with Sweet Sun right from the start - you know this is an exceptional piece. Again, Dior, we plead that you bring this back!

Love this. Bought it at Sephora years ago around the time of the launch. It was sunshine, happy vacation in a bottle. Got the citrus, soft florals, vanilla, musk, etc. You could sit on a beach of white sand with the golden sun beating down on you and this is what you'd smell on the air. Uplifting? Yes. It wasn't very long lasting, but worth the trip. I just bought SL Datura Noir, and for a moment, I was taken back to those days when I wore Dior's Sweet Sun. Notes are slightly different, but similarities are remarkable. And Datura is much longer lasting with better sillage. I'm a huge Dior and SL fan.

This is THE summer sunshine in a bottle. Aptly named Sweet Sun, it opens as a dual note of slight fresh floral mandarin mixed with warm vanilla. The scent is heaven throughout its wear and and after spraying this to my décolleté and arms, it makes my skin soft and velvety and almost creates a slight glow. Beautiful! This is not a typical beach/summer scent but more of a happy, luxe, sunny fragrance. I have yet to come across something similar to this scent, and I am sure I am not the only one to say this but I still long for Dior to bring this beauty back!

Sweet Sun is a warm and sweet fragrance. The sweetness comes from the Vanilla, Jasmine and Tiare Flower while Orange and Mandarin Orange add something fruity. The Ginger in it is the most special note and gives the scent a little edge, which I adore! Very, very sensual too. Sweet Sun doesn ́t obviously smell like a perfume. More like "something" here smells so good...wait...ahhh that ́s me! To me the best thing a fragrance can do. It melts with your skin. And yes, it smells like a suntan lotion- but like an adorable one!
