A unique visual signature based on accords, character, and seasonality
Green orange floods immediately with a bitter, slightly metallic edge, whilst fig adds dusty, almost fig-leaf greenness rather than jammy sweetness. Within minutes, you're conscious of something salty beginning to emerge beneath the citrus—not yet apparent, but already shifting the composition's direction from what you initially expected.
The seawater accord crystallises into something genuinely mineral and slightly iodised, creating an unusual tension against the jasmine's green, slightly soapy character. The fragrance becomes notably fresher and more austere here, the fruity opening having largely dissolved, leaving a cool, almost slightly astringent floral-aquatic that feels like standing in sea spray on a windy day.
Woods arrive with a cool, slightly dusty quality, partnered with musk that's more powdery than sensual. The seawater quality gradually fades, leaving a faint herbal-woody base that lingers with restraint—never disappearing entirely, but becoming increasingly whisper-like and intimate against skin.
Sun Pop – Green Fusion arrives as a deliberately peculiar proposition: a fragrance that treats the Mediterranean coastline as a botanical laboratory rather than a holiday postcard. The fig and green orange opening creates an almost savory citrus, where the fruit's natural bitterness dominates over sweetness, whilst the fig adds a desiccated, slightly chalky quality that refuses immediate comfort.
What distinguishes this scent is its seawater accord in the heart—not the ozonic, synthetic "marine" notes that plague mass-market fragrances, but something genuinely briny and mineral. It sits alongside jasmine, which here reads less romantic and more green, herbaceous, almost slightly soapy as it contends with the salty aquatic signature. The jasmine lacks the creamy richness expected from this note; instead, it contributes a crisp, almost slightly sharp quality that amplifies the fragrance's deliberate austerity.
