Amalfi Sunray

Who gets lost finds new ways, me and my best girlfriend went interrail back in 1985, we were supposed to visit France, but when we were standing there at the railway station in Karlsruhe (D), a train with the letters "Rimini" came along on the plattform, so, guess what....? After Rimini, we ended up in Salerno, we met some nice men, and they brought us to Amalfi and it's small cottages twice, and we both falled in love, me with Amalfi, and she with Francesco... ;)) I have always been talking about Amalfi, and I must go back there some day, finally, my dream had nearly came true, I had ordered a plane flying to Rome 27th of march 2020, but than the pandemic came along... -Amalfi is still there, it's such a beautiful place on earth, and beautiful is also my new perfume!!! 10/10!!!

This is one of the few perfumes that have taken over me, and very far from my usual taste. The longevity is not good, but that is reflected in the price. However, when i first smelled it, in the middle of the winter, i was thrown back to memories of growing up in the mediterranean, carefree, happy, innocent, taking every bit of life in. My mood lifts instantly and there is a bounce in my step when i smell this. This is a summer scent for the day, or an early evening, walking around some old city in a flowy dress or a linen shirt, the amalfi scent blended with the scent of the flowers, being happy, creating memories. It is not a deep perfume, or seductive or warm in any way and that is its beauty. It's simple, fresh, lively, happy and somewhat innocent.

This scent, is delicate and strong at the same time, it's white flowers, neroli and orange mix, smells like sunshine and white flowers. It's gorgeous on it's own and can add such depth to layer combos, I use it to lighten and add a refreshing floral to thicker spicier more robust fragrances. It's perfect on it's own and also blends so well with other scents. {One of my favourite combos, of which I have received compliments, is to spray Tuberose Noir on liberally on freshly showered moisturized skin of my body, Amalfi SunRay on my wrists and crook of elbows and top with (my favourite) Bohemian Bluebells on my neck and behind my ears. This combination is heavenly to me and creates a lasting scent bubble that is gorgeous, feminine and calming.)

Definitely your more natural smelling fragrances that you don’t usually get from Zara. This fragrance reminds me of a sweeter Diptyque Eau De Sens which I love but just ran out. Great thing I have this alternative. Great for everyday use, after a night shower, or just even your staycation. For its price point, i love its longevity at least 6-8 hours on me if i’m just at work and not sweating it off. Must try for citrus lovers and those who want to smell your old school Spanish citrusy, soapy, neroli/orange colognes but more long lasting. I have a collection of niche fragrances but I have been wearing this everyday since I bought it.

I smelled it in a store and just had to go back for a bottle. It's a very nice, realistic orange blossom that is so easy to wear and instantly puts me in a good mood. The bergamot is very zesty, it almost has that sharpness that grapefruit skin has? Doesn't bother me though. I'm just happy to get a big bottle of sunny orange blossom smell for this price that I can spray liberally whenever I want. This is what I like to layer with M+ Black Tea to get an almost jasmine green tea smell.
