Mrs. Sunshine

Sometimes these higher quality scents don’t translate accurately in dupe versions - especially when there’s vanilla - but I’m very happy with this one. Very potent too. This is absolute perfection. For me this scent doesn’t really match the notes that well but yet I know if it was truly as simple as the parts I pick up it would smell completely different probably. To me it’s very warm & rich, sweet but not juvenile. I get mostly vanilla but creamy, fuzzy vanilla not sugary thick vanilla (maybe that’s the almond playing in); tobacco but sweet tobacco like a black & mild not tobacco flower or grandpa’s tobacco; and the nectarine-like quality of osmanthus. The whole thing comes off like the most decadent flavored cigarette, then toned down I guess by all the other notes that I don’t consciously pick up. I love it by itself but more often, I layer it with Bottega Venetta Illusione.

Words that come to mind are fresh powdery sweet and medicinal in the dry down. I would wear this in cooler months and avoid overpaying. its a like at the moment. Upon wearing this again it’s gorgeous in this cool fall weather. It’s not overpowering. I catch whiffs of this without trying. I feel pretty in this scent. She’s an uplifting beautiful combination of notes. It’s a love now. Update 2. I’m wearing to bed. It’s so heavenly. Calming soft cozy. I’m so in love

This was a blind buy, and although it is very nice, it smells nothing like Amouage Sunshine. Nevertheless, this is powdery slightly sweet and spicy with a pleasant dry down which would suit the cooler months.
