Sunflowers Sunlight Kiss

Elizabeth Arden Sunflowers Sunlight Kiss is so fresh and pretty! It's interesting that I love it so much because I am NOT a fan of the original Sunflowers. I always found that one to be soapy-sour and musty-dusty, with little sillage and no longevity; in short, nothing to recommend it. But Sunlight Kiss has a more feminine floral softness and smoothness rather than being scratchy-sour like the OG, and it's sweet but not-too-sweet, due to the prominent citrus notes. It's a perfect fragrance for a hot, sunny day, being refreshing and green. It absolutely is in the same vein, to my nose, as Chanel Cristalle, Juicy Couture Peace, Love, & Juicy, and even My Burberry; it's strange to me that none of these show up in the "reminds me of..." section. Sunflowers Sunlight Kiss reads sunny citrus, fresh and GREEN to me. Its sillage is small to the smaller side of moderate, and its longevity is in the low-moderate range, around 3 hours. It's also a mega-bargain: I've seen it for as little as $10 at Ross for a big 3.3 oz. bottle! After having pooh-poohed the OG for so many years, I'm really happy I decided to give Sunlight Kiss a chance. And, while clearly not identical to or made from as fine materials, it is an excellent, less costly alternative to more expensive beauties like Cristalle or My Burberry, if you enjoy sunny, green, floral citrus scents. :)

05/04/2020: Top notes: Fruity: citrus (Italian Bergamot, Mandarin, Japanese Loquat) with apple leaves. Mid-notes: Floral: Osmanthus (peachy-apricot scent), Cyclamen (sweeter and lighter Lily-of-the-Valley), rose, jasmine Base notes: Ozonic accord, driftwood and solar musk Sunflowers Sunlight Kiss follows its journey of notes just as how it's described: at first whiff, you're bathed in citrus followed by strong florals. As it settles, the base notes come out and intermingle with the florals. If you're looking for something that is office and/or crowd friendly, this is definitely it - you'll smell like you've just used a shower gel. Definitely daytime use - when the sun is high in the sky most of the day, and you're reaching for slushy iced beverages, swimming, picnics, and relaxing showers after an active day celebrating everything about late spring and summer. If you like J'Adore and Versace Bright Crystal, this pick is perfect for you. Doesn't last long though. You'll have to re-apply after about 5 hours.

Must be the Chinese loquat that makes this smell like there's some zesty ginger in here. It seems sour at first but in a little bit you get the zesty floral sweet smell and it has that sunkissed smell in the background. It is highly addictive! Wear it in the summer heat and you'll see what I mean 💖🌞. I just can't get enough! Mmmm soooo sooo soooo good n yummy 😋 Honestly, I've only smelled the og sunflowers briefly but this fragrance reminds me of the OG sunflowers mixed with True Love. I think if you like True Love, you will love this sunkissed version of true love 💕

This was a hidden gem ...I was going to buy the old school Sunflowers just to have it in my collection.....and decided to get the flanker instead. This a very pretty warm citrusy fragrance.... I feel like I'm at the beach eating and orange. There no salt or sea smell to me ..but the driftwood note brings me there and the lovey solar notes and sweet citrus florals makes this perfect. It's an awesome cheapie.

This pretty much smells exactly the same as the original Sunflowers scent.
