Sun Force

The Harmonist is a brand with very good fragrances, and even a level beyond when it comes to being artistic and unique. I have tried all of their fragrances up to this point and can confidently say there are only 2-3* that I consider full bottle worthy to my taste: 1. Hypnotizing Fire Parfum 2. Sun Force 3. Oud Nebula (which would probably get very few wearings)/Velvet Fire Sun Force was a love at first sniff, because I had just recently discovered Bleu Electrique by YSL. I honestly pick up a level of similarity between the two but completely not redundant fragrances. This one has an elevated/obvious creamy, resinous, soft rose appeal blended into that LNDLH DNA with the aromatic cardamom. Too much of Sun Force ca actually smell weird up close, given it's more of a "discover me" type of fragrance rather than a "HERE I AM" approach. Smells different, to me, when put under heat. Can be even worn as a signature being mindful of the sprays especially during summer - it does adapt differently to temperature input. The only problem in doing so is the honey note (gladly nothing like gold old Tobacolor's) that can slip in the summer along with the heavier base notes but overall very bright/golden smell even. I'd say it lasts good 6-7 hours indoors for me and isn't really I gravitate to wearing during the hotter months, but can be worn. Great introduction to the brand, or honestly niche in general, as it is pretty mass appealing. Projection is thankfully on the softer side and will perfume me for the usual time I need it for. Anyways, this is beautiful! I honestly consider this and Hypno Fire the best BY A LOT, from the brand. Price is rough but it is a rather beautiful package (pres, smell, bottle, profile, etc.)

This is an interesting one for me. There was a time when I was all about projection - and for a fragrance of this price, you should want it to "perform," right? I had to challenge that mindset in myself because if we're being honest, there are times for a scent to fill a room and times to be more modest. Sun Force is the latter - after the initial high projection period of 1-2 hours, it was easily noticeable about 6 inches away, quietly projecting for more than 12 hours. For this reason, I consider the performance a triumph. The scent gives you the impression that you have smelled it before, but upon further investigation, it's difficult to pin down. The prominence of the cardamom is likely the culprit here - immediately I thought of La Nuit De L'Homme. I happened to have a bottle, so I tested them side-by-side. The cardamom note is the only similarity. LNDL also was not detectable after about 5 hours. What set this fragrance apart for me (and ultimately led to me purchasing a full bottle) is that while the scent feels familiar, it also feels different. The drydown is HEAVENLY. Expensive, yes. But it was worth in my opinion.

A new addition to my ever expanding list of fragrances I'd own. Generally speaking The Harmonist wasn't a house that impressed me or piqued my interest, but Sun Force was an instant like and one of the best fragrances from the house in my opinion. In some ways Sun Force comes across to me as a sort of mish mash of several fragrances I also like a lot. I've only tried Bleu Électrique from YSL's LNDL line but I do see the similarities with that fragrance, although the pomelo adds a zingy airiness that greatly reminds me of Kilian's Vodka on the Rocks. Up close on skin this is a soft, creamy woody scent that reminds me a bit of MFK's Amyris Homme. Fresh, bright, versatile, extremely likeable, I'm really considering picking up a bottle of this. Performance is quite decent. Projection initially is strong but sillage is more on the lighter side, which helps with the freshness. I felt this turned into a skin scent pretty quickly but it was unusually hot yesterday so the weather might have played into it. Longevity is great, lasting 8 hours without much of a problem.

At the Temple of Hathor in Per-Wadjet, offerings are left to the Goddess when the sun is strongest in the sky. Altars overflow with pots of honey, fruits, sweet incense and spices. Worshipers dance ecstatically to music played on Sistras and the sheen of their sweat-slicked bodies glows like gold in the sun. It is warm, welcoming, and utterly intoxicating to be this close to the Goddess. Hathor, in her Wadjet form, rises sinuously from the temple dust and turns her enormous cobra-head in your direction, eyes glinting like turquoise chips in the glare. You cannot look away. She is the most beautiful thing you have ever seen.

I get sad when i think and smell this fragrance. I say this because its truly a beautyful, i love this combo with the sweet cardamom and the honey wich gives a sexy profile. But then comes the sad part, when you want the other people smell , i understand that getting a fragrance to performe is difficult but with the price that a bottle is this company full of potencial can work this for the better. In my oponion This scent is a : 9/10 Sillage:6/10 Longevity(depends person to person but on my skin): 10/12 Hours
