Sunrise Killer Oud

I blind bought this out of curiosity and satisfaction with my reflection and interlude man samples as well as my interlude man clone, I have never smelled Sunshine Man. Amouage makes interesting fragrances and I'd like to smell them but whenever I look at the prices of buying a bunch of samples I figure I might as well blind buy a clone. Flawed logic I'll get over soon enough I'm sure. This was and has not been love at first smell. I love it now as it's macerated somewhat and the scent has grown on me but it's not a strong love. The opening is strong and a little headache inducing if I stick my nose in it for too long or too often. To me it has a strange aromatic sweetness I haven't smelled in any other fragrance. I think the description of orange vanilla cream is accurate. To me the balance of the orange, tonka, vanilla and lavender produces that and it's nice and strangely not off putting in a fragrance that works well in hot weather. The thing that threw me off at first and still makes me curious about the scent is the brandy and immortelle notes. It's like someone grabbed a earthy bouquet of weeds and dried grass and tossed them on a dessert and poured a little brandy on as well. It is hard for me to envision who would wear this. Sweetness in fragrances seems youthful to me but the sweetness here is matured by the aromatic, herbal notes. The fragrance leans slightly masculine, has great longevity and sillage. I can understand why Sunshine Man was discontinued this is not a mass appealing sweet fragrance but a very unique one. Anyone fittingly energetic and bucolic, regardless of age or gender could wear this as a signature scent. I enjoy this fragrance it is pleasant and interesting, but if I ever get around to selling decants or bottles I don't use this would go simply because I'm not a fit for it. Update: After having this for almost a year I have really come around to it. It really is a fun, eccentric and sweet summer scent. It's not my go to for these summer days but I love wearing it when I do. It puts me in a good mood, the kind I envision the scent portrays.

#920 in my "Tour de Fragrance" They telegraph their intention by approximating the artwork on the front of the Amouage "Sunshine Man." This is definitely a clone of that scent and a good one, very sage-forward like Sunshine Man so comes off more herbal than you expect, almost verging on an incense scent. Car pool, elevator and small office safe. Versatile enough for any purpose, but this is strongly projecting and long-lasting so easy does it.

I have finally got my hands on this clone after wanting it for so long, i had to order all the way from canada and i am from EU, but it was worth it and i love it so much, 1:1 of amouage sunshine, by far my favorite fragrance from the house of amouage - boozy, orange and gourmand fragrance which really suits my taste. Absolute masterpiece from Paris Corner as per usual. 10/10

Definitely a clone of Amouage Sunshine Man which I bought some years ago and use sparingly as it is now discontinued. So pleased to find this much cheaper scent. Not as smooth or refined as Amouage, but for the price I doubt anyone is likely to know except me and I can use far more often.

I have never gotten my hands (or nose) on Sunshine Man, so I cannot compare the two. Sunrise by Paris Corner's Killer Oud collection is a warm, inviting, and gentle masculine fragrance. It captures a sunny morning quite well.
