Lust for Sun

Beachy, sweet, sunny, bright, white floral, yellow floral, citrusy, radiant, coconut, creamy/lactonic, musky, vanilla, feminine, sensual, seductive, luminous, lush, luxe, alluring, tempting, intriguing, inviting, transporting, nostalgic On me this opens radiant and tropical with sweet and creamy coconut, fresh and clean freesia, and bright and citrusy bergamot. The heart blooms with lush gardenia and jasmine, exotic ylang ylang, and sweet orange blossom. The base envelopes you in a sensual and warm musky vanilla. The notes that are the most prominent on me are the coconut, gardenia, musk, and vanilla. This has a luxe monoi oil and Sun tan lotion vibe which I really love. This does have a really beautiful Tiare flower scent too because of the monoi oil accordI adore beachy/coconut fragrances, especially monoi/Sun tan lotion ones like this! This brings to mind long days spent on the beach, warm sun on bare skin, white sand, Crystal clear aqua water, and a warm ocean breeze with tropical flowers on it. I do think there are some similarities to several of the fragrances in the “reminds me” section, at least to a certain degree. I find similarities with Yves Rocher Monoi Eau des Vahines, Kilian Sunkissed Goddess, Kate Spade Live Colorfully, Replica Beach Walk, Phlur Beach Skin. However, they also have enough differences to not be redundant owning them. I have several JHAG fragrances including Lust for Sun, Vanilla Vibes, Powder Love (my 3 faves!), Miami Shake, Magnolia Bliss, Not a Perfume, Pear Inc, and Juliette. I really enjoy the brand, although I’m not a huge fan of Juliette, but I’m not particularly into cherry fragrances usually. Their fragrances do typically have quite a musky scent to them, particularly in the base. I really love their bottles. They’re made of thick glass, even the travel sprays, and they’re usually done in lovely ombré colors. Powder Love is in a super pretty soft pink frosted bottle, and Not a Perfume is in a chic white bottle. I get great performance with Lust for Sun. The longevity is very good, it lasts 8+ hours on my skin. The projection is moderate to strong, it radiates out at least a few feet from me. For reference, some of my other beachy favorites include Tom Ford Soleil Blanc, Nest Sunkissed Hibiscus, Kilian Sunkissed Goddess, Yves Rocher Monoi Eau des Vahines, Replica Beach Walk, Estée Lauder Bronze Goddess, Bobbi Brown Beach, JHAG Vanilla Vibes, Alien Goddess, Kayali Maui in a Bottle, Kayali Maldives in a Bottle, Utopia Vanilla Coco, Flowerbomb Tiger Lily, Ellis Brooklyn Vanilla Salt, Miami Nectar, Sand, Phlur Beach Skin, SDJ 39, Rio Radiance/87, BBW Coco Paradise, Oahu Coconut Sunset, At the Beach, Beach Nights For those looking for a straight sun tan lotion scent I highly recommend Bobbi Brown Beach. If you’re looking for a straight monoi oil scent you should try Yves Rocher Monoi Eau des Vahines and/or Kilian Sunkissed Goddess.

Beachy, sweet, white floral, yellow florals citrusy, musky, lactonic, coconut, vanilla, radiant, feminine, sensual, flirty, charming, whimsical, dreamy, sunny, alluring, tempting, addictive, intriguing, inviting, comforting, nostalgic This is such a pretty and beachy scent that’s centered around monoi oil and white florals with a tropical touch of coconut, and a musky dry down. The most prominent notes on my skin are the gardenia, jasmine, coconut, musk, and ylang ylang. It’s got a lovely sun tan lotion-like scent too, although that likely comes from the monoi oil (at least I’ve always thought they had a similar scent). It certainly keeps its promise of being reminiscent of sun warming bronzed skin. This was my 1st perfume from JHAG along with Vanilla Vibes! I really enjoy both of them, as I’m a big fan of beachy/coconut fragrances as well as vanillas and gourmands! I also own Powder Love (which I absolutely adore!), Magnolia Bliss, Not A Perfume, and I have 5ml bottles of Pear Inc and Juliette (Juliette being my least favorite as it’s quite medicinal on me). Lust For Sun is in my top 3 along with Powder Love and Vanilla Vibes. I own quite a few fragrances with similar “beachy” scent profiles.

Beachy, Sunny, happy, bright, warm, creamy, luxurious, softly sweet, with lush, tropical, Solar florals. This is so very beautiful! It’s like tropical sunshine in a bottle! Sun warming your skin, sand between your toes, a fresh, ocean breeze with sweet and creamy lush tropical florals on it! Lust for Sun has such a gorgeous beachy scent! I really pick up on the luxurious monoi oil, tropical coconut, fresh and bright bergamot, warm vanilla, and with a bed of lush Solar florals of syrupy sweet orange blossom, creamy and sweet ylang ylang and gardenia, and fragrant jasmine. It does have a little of a sun tan lotion only more chic vibe, which I love! I swear that I read somewhere either on the box or on their site that this has a monoi oil note in it. Either way, I’m picking up on it and getting sweet and luxurious monoi oil vibes with this one! Maybe it’s from the coconut and gardenia? I’m kind of obsessed with the scent of monoi oil, so this is a must have for me... It was love at very first sniff! Lust For Sun has become part of my regular warmer weather top favorite fragrance rotation which also includes: Tom Ford Soleil Blanc, Nest Sunkissed Hibiscus, Kilian Sunkissed Goddess, Replica Beach Walk, Estée Lauder Bronze Goddess, and JHAG Vanilla Vibes! I also get really great performance with Lust For Sun! Excellent longevity, I can smell it throughout the entire day. Very nice silage, it projects out about an arm’s length from me. This really reminds me of Kilian Sunkissed Goddess! Lust For Sun is the closest smelling fragrance to Sunkissed Goddess that I have come across so far, so it’s a great option for something more affordable.

This is one of those fragrances that you should get into your collection if you’re lusting for those ultra feminine white florals with tropical and coconut nuances and you love vanilla in the base of your perfumes. For me, Lust for Sun is less summertime beachy than I have anticipated and more of a solar floral forward scent. Do not get me wrong, I absolutely adore all the flowers listed in here but I was expecting that the coconut would shine more in the composition because of its name. I automatically associated in my mind that Lust for Sun would be a coconuty, beachy, floral for summer when I heard the name and seen the promotional materials for the launch. It’s not 100% percentage what I expected but I love it. Personally, I’m a big white floral fan so Lust for Sun is right up to my alley nonetheless. I’d say get this if you are looking into a fragrance with a tropical twist on a gardenia/freesia/jasmine centred scent and you also want some coconut, vanilla and ylang ylang in your scent! This is it! Performance is not phenomenal but compared to my other two bottles from Juliette Has a Gun, Lust for Sun has the best performance. Don’t think it’s too much to wear in the summer heat, it’s not projecting too much, it’s not very sweet and it’s not too heavy on the amroxan either. I am aware that some people just don’t like ambroxan in their fragrances. It’s a very balanced scent with a gorgeous, sunsety, colourful bottle. I got my bottle during a sale and it’s worth for me, even though this scent profile is nothing new and I have similar scents in my collection.

You have to like white florals & gardenia & that beachy sunscreeny type of perfumed to love this! I be disagree with the weird scents mentioned in the negative reviews. The only thing I can see people hating this if they don’t like white florals, strong gardenia & sunscreen type of perfumes. See, all of these notes are in my comfort family, but I still expected the concoction to be different however because I do like these notes for summer I do love this! I layer it with a nice similar vibe body spray like sol de Janeiro Rio radiance for example. It is a beautiful perfume & I got 100ml for 60€ on my birthday so it was a steal (to me) but it will be the only bottle I own, since it’s 100ml & very seasonal wear to me, it will last me years. It was a blind buy online purchase so I went with the safest to me based on notes thankfully it turned out good but I don’t think it’s blind buy safe. I do wish to try pear inc because it’s definitely also in my comfort notes family, but I realized this brand work notes in a particular way that even if the notes are ones I absolutely adore like in “powder love” perfume, it’s made in such a way that it was a disappointment but I worked it out. I think this brand may not be a safe blind buy even if you’re familiar with notes, they do it differently.
