L'Eau d'Issey Shade of Sunrise

Scent: think summer and beaches: luxurious and gorgeous creams, body oils and sunscreens. However, this fragrance is not your standard summer scent. It reminds me of a sunscreen oil, which was popular among my friends for its unique, but very summery, scent. The coconut and white flowers turn this into a very happy, sunny fragrance. It is creamy, clean, smooth and soft, a bit sweet and a bit woody. Don't expect too much of it, but it works great as a summer scent. 8/10 Who/where/when: this is the perfect summertime fragrance. It's a wonderfully soft scent, but still addictive and seductive. This could be an everyday spring/summer fragrance, but this could also be a special holiday scent. The person who's wearing this is drinking a cocktail on a beach in a sunny, tropical place. Longevity: moderate. Sillage: quickly turns into a very soft skin scent.

If you combined Soleil Blanc and Beach walk but amped up the jasmine and citrus. This scent has a bit more of an edge to it. I much prefer this because its better balanced, more interesting and slightly soapier Imagine youre staying at a luxurious tropical island resort, its lush and surrounded by nature, you take a shower and use the expensive soaps they provide. You then lay on the crisp white bed while the warm night breeze comes through the balcony and caresses your skin. Thats the vibe it gives and I'm so upset this is discontinued, I need to find a dupe.

Fragrance that evokes luminous tropical atmospheres, clear skies surrounded by the bewitching scents of exotic nature in the early hours of the day; barely illuminated by the first rays of the sun, which reveal magnificent scenery. The opening notes are: lively, citrusy, immersed in a lush riot of frangipani and Ylang Ylang of rare beauty. Fresh, reassuring and lactonic fragrance due to the presence of coconut in agreement with sandalwood and cedar wood which make it enveloping and very sensual.

LOVE this fragrance so much! Definitely a dupe for one of my favorite SUN DiGioia by Giorgio Armani. The frangipani mixed with coconut is what I love about this, not to mention the strong sunscreen scent. Highly recommend this for the summer for sure! Oh and the price is very reasonable too.

Shade of Sunrise is a near perfect representation of the fragrance of the frangipani flower. Nothing synthetic or artificial about it. Summer, seaside, surf, sand, light breeze, blue sky. Moderate strength, not too heavy, it lasts rather well for me.
