Sunny Side Up

I just got this because I was missing summer (this is written during winter) and I sure wasn't disappointed. It is summer is a bottle. I can detect every single note in this, even the elusive woodiness of ISO E Super, but the do blend smoothly. I was surprised to read that most didn't quite get the coconut in this because it sure was present for me, but I guess it depends on who's wearing it and their on body chemistry. So this basically is a sandalwood and coconut fusion, with soft jasmine notes and a musk and vanilla base. It reminds me of Estee Lauder's Bronze Goddess, but I find this a tad more complex and dare I say unisex? Especially during the drydown, you get this weird, but in a good way, scent that you find yourself wanting to sniff all day. And if you press your nose against it you get a skin-like, almost unscented frangrance. Musky, warm and almond-like sweet. Obviously if one's not a coconut fan they should skip this, but to me this is intoxicating. The drydown is beautiful and its longevity excellent. I sprayed it more than 24 hours ago and it is still going strong. It also extends beyond your skin and fills up the room, but not in an offensive way. So to me, there is nothing soft about this, which is actually a good thing because perfumes don't last for me like at all. So this has been a great surprise. I cannot imagine this being a special occasions or formal/professional perfume, but rather a great wear for around the house or having a walk around town, especially during the summer. It is comforting and inviting. I wouldn't describe it as happy or bright (as it is advertised) and there is also nothing mysterious or sexy about it to me. It has a rather calming, creamy gourmand quality. I wouldn't describe it as mature or youthful, I can imagine anyone wearing this. I would however categorise it as a summer perfume exclusively or if you want to let people in the office know you've just been on vacations somewhere warm. Absolutely love it!

Sunny Side Up, S.S.U., is a wonderful, light, second skin type fragrance. While S.S.U. doesn't blast me with coconut, sandalwood, vanilla or any other listed note, I do get a strong dose of Iso Super E and I'd be willing to bet that most who are familiar with Iso Super E will be quick to pick it up here. S.S.U. is a fragrance that I am glad to have in my collection for many reasons. It's a dumb reach fragrance for all year. I could see S.S.U. not being quite potent enough for the coldest days especially if you're outside. Although I would LOVE to wear S.S.U. watching the Macy's Thanksgiving Parade. Sunny Side Up is a fragrance whose beauty lies in its simplicity. Just like eggs at breakfast. Simple, reliable, predictable, and classic. That's Sunny Side Up. My only complaint is longevity. I will admit that I seem to have dryer than average skin but S.S.U. is not a beast by any stretch of the imagination. I don't find this fragrance to be pathetically weak, but be warned that reapplication may be necessary. With that being stated I can't urge anyone on the fence to not let S.S.U.'s lack of powerful strength stop you from enjoying it's beauty. The final thing I really want to compliment Sunny Side Up on is it's bottle design. The yellow-orange cap and white bottle really brings me a considerable amount of joy on the days I take the time to appreciate the replica egg from the birds eye view of the bottle. It reminds me that life is best enjoyed when not taken so seriously. - 8/10 Overall - Spring, Summer, Fall, Early Winter - Daytime - Location/ Situation: High Museum of Art, Atlanta, Georgia, mid October, 1030AM...

Out of all the Juliette Has a Gun I own or I have tried so far, Sunny Side Up is my favourite. Packaging wise and scent wise is perfection. The only downside for me is the performance. So, how does it smells like?? Like the smoothest, softest, fluffiest, creamiest, slightly sweet blend of sandalwood, coconut, vanilla, jasmine and orris root. It’s undeniably beautiful, unique, and puts me instantly into summer mood, but it’s certainly not the typical summer scent perfume, even though it has coconut. It’s so likeable, very versatile, highly complimented, an amazing signature scent for someone who likes the clean aesthetic perfumes. Actually, probably Sunny Side Up might be my personal choice for this category. I have tested recently quite a few hyped “your skin but better” fragrances from Diptique, Phlur, Glossier, Escentric Molecules and I liked some, but their performance was poor. Sunny Side Up is not a strong projector but the longevity on clothing is phenomenal, thanks to Iso E Super. It’s addictive, milky, creamy, powdery, warm, solar, and every time I smell this is making me happy! Mix Sunny Side Up with Kayali’s Utopia Vanilla Coco 21 (or something similar you have) if you want to amplify the coconuty, tropical side of this and create an intoxicating, more dense, radiant scent. No more issues with poor performance! On discount websites, Sunny Side Up is half of the price of the latest designer’s scents, so great value for money and it’s quite underrated. I’ve heard a few people speaking about it, but overall it’s kinda flying under the radar...

Sunny Side Up was the hidden gem in my Juliette Has a Gun discovery set. Who knew it would be the vanilla, coconut, and sandlewood fragrance that would win my heart? This is the coconut fragrance I didn't know I wanted, and the coconut fragrance I didn't know I needed. I am a cold loving Canadian trapped in hot humid Texas, so warm climates, and tropical perfumes, hold no allure for me. I love the ocean, but on a rocky beach, drinking hot cocoa, next to a bonfire, with a cool salty breeze blowing through my hair. Not covered in lotion, deep in warm sand that sticks to everything, drinking pineapple coconut alcohol until I vomit. Nope, tropical perfumes are not for me. This is a warm coconut fragrance that smells ziltch tropical. It has a hint of sweetness at the beginning from the vanilla, but mostly it's this delicious warm sandlewood coconut, and my new heart's desire. Such a beautiful and comforting fragrance. Perfect for a long walk on a chilly day. I have only tested this on my wrist, so for right now the projection is close. It's possible this would be stronger if I sprayed it on my clothes and in my hair, but also possible it'll just be a skin scent. But I would not mind re-applying this fragrance, if needed, and I am already looking for the best price to buy a full bottle. Edited to add: I purchased a full bottle, and sprayed in my hair and on my clothes, the projection is great. My son told me I smelled buttery. Ha.

Sunny Side Up by Juliette Has a Gun is a breath of fresh air for anyone who loves understated elegance in a fragrance. Designed for those who shy away from overpowering scents, this perfume is the ultimate choice for introverts and minimalists who prefer a fragrance that whispers rather than shouts. The composition is beautifully soft and creamy, with notes of sandalwood and vanilla creating a warm, enveloping base. There’s a delicate hint of jasmine and orris butter that adds a subtle floral sweetness, but it never feels overwhelming. The standout feature is the cocoon-like comfort it provides—a cozy, skin-like scent that feels as natural as a second layer of you. Sunny Side Up is ideal for quiet moments, intimate gatherings, or even days spent at home. It’s a fragrance that blends seamlessly with your aura, enhancing rather than dominating it. It’s the olfactory equivalent of a comforting hug or the golden glow of sunlight on a lazy afternoon. If you’re someone who gravitates toward fragrances that feel personal and close to the skin, Sunny Side Up will be your perfect match. It’s understated, inviting, and completely unpretentious—a fragrance that celebrates the beauty of simplicity and quiet confidence.
