This fragrance has a remarkably close base/middle notes and it’s pretty much identical but the top notes are way off. I feel like it’s the lemon that’s letting the team down. The original has a stunning natural, zesty & fresh lemon note combining with a really floral green neroli that gives just gives a hint of orange. This version has a very sharp, sweet & synthetic lemon that just saturates the entire fragrance. It’s the kind of lemon you smell in confectionery like sherbet or even a cleaning product,albeit a good quality one. It’s hard to comment too much on the neroli because the lemon is just so jarring, although you do get the odd whiff of it and im leaning towards its being really similar.
It’s a real shame, Sun Song was one of my favorite fragrances, I was so disappointed when it was discontinued so finding this gave me such high hopes but unfortunately it misses the mark. Hopefully you can reformulate and get much closer, it would be worthwhile, it’s the perfect summer fragrance.
