Meet Me On the Sunnyside

I adore this scent, much more than I expected to. This perfume is so fresh and juicy, so humid, so playful. Summer incarnate. Meet Me on Sunnyside smells very true to the notes - the clementine, osmanthus blossom, ice cream and petrichor play so nicely together. It's not too sweet, nor too rich and cloying from the ice cream, I actually smell the clementine, osmanthus, and petrichor much more. (Don't expect this one to smell like creamsicle, or rich and lactonic like Match Made In Heaven - the ice cream here is subtle, adding the smallest touch of creamy sweetness.) The osmanthus blossom is gently floral, but also a little warm and peachy to my nose. It gives the clementine a peachy vibe. It's stunning. The petrichor note is just gorgeous, and very prominent through the entire wear. It really makes this perfume so special. It doesn't give "dirt/concrete" as much as I expected it to (and to be frank, I wouldn't have been upset if it did. I'm not afraid of a lil dirt) but don't let that note scare you away if it makes you nervous. It just smells steamy, humid, damp and breezy. It's almost something that I taste on the roof of my mouth more than I actually smell it. I'm addicted. This will be one of my go-to fragrances this summer, I already know it. To compare it to other Sorce scents - to my nose it is very similar to A Sign Painted Peaches, with that same "taste it on the roof of your mouth" humidity that Venus in Fleurs has. It has similar watery vibes to The Things Unsaid, but is more similar to the other two. It's their love child, but with clementine instead of peach or mango. (It smells nothing like Sorce's other oranges: Vampire Wife, Tarot at Tea Time, I Think About You Too, or Sitting on the Edge of a Cloud, in my opinion.)

Ok I finally get it... When this arrived, I immediately sprayed it on a test strip and all I got was muddy oranges. If I wanted to be fancy, I would say it initially smelt like walking through an orange grove after a rainstorm. The petrichor is really earthy different from the petrichor note in “things unsaid” and the rest of the notes were more in the background. I know that Sorce scents need some time to develop and it changed for the better after a few weeks. WOW IM IN LOVE 😍💕😍💕 the clementine and osmanthus are more present. they’re blended with that creamy ice cream note plus that signature Sorce vanilla we all love. The earthy petrichor is now toned down but still present enough to give this scent a niche twist instead of being too gourmand. Beautiful, sweet and still unique.

I LOVE THIS. Sprayed it on my arm at Scent Bar LA and couldn’t get it out of my head! Luckily, I scored a bottle someone was decluttering. It’s soooooo lovely. Creamy, citrusy, fun! It’s really bright and uplifting. I guess I can see the “skittles” note some have mentioned and also some vanilla, but it’s not a traditional vanilla. I’m NOT a big gourmand girlie, but I can do little hints of that style here and there. This has quickly become my new summer scent. ❤️

It smells exactly like skittles and I mean that literally! The opening is just straight candy blast before it settles into this weird warm rubbery dry down that somehow smells like recess in elementary school. (I think it’s a combination of the candy/petrichor/rubberyness) It’s super nostalgic and I’m lowkey obsessed 🍬☀️🛝

Such a perfect summer gourmand. It’s almost as if you had a creamsicle that was slightly more sour, like more Clementine than orange, but then add-on a little bit of breeze carrying that summer Osmanthus blossom as you’re walking down the street eating your creamsicle. This is so good.
