What They Say:
"Radiant, Refreshing, Spirited, the
Clarins Sunshine Fragrance has captured the scent of the sun. Uplifting and
sparkling, it combines aromaphyto benefits, aromatic essential oils and plant
extracts to make you feel happy, feel radiant and feel spirited...all year
long. Feel happy, feel radiant, feel spirited!"
RRP: $30 (50ml) – Available from Clarins counters
What I Say:
The fragrance comes in a round bright orange bottle, which is simple, yet
very modern and stylish too, and just seeing this bright orange bottle makes me
think of summer.
The Sunshine Fragrance is not new as it was launched in 2007, but regardless
it is still a best-seller. The top notes in the fragrance contain sicilian mandarin, grapefruit, watermelon
and bergamot, while the middle notes are mimose, chamomile, ylang-ylang and
carnation. The base notes are tonka bean, patchouli, lime (linden blossom) and
osmanthus.
The actual scent is
very light, but warm floral scent, as well as there is a hint of the citrus
from the grapefruit and mandarin. As it is very light, it is perfect for
daytime use, especially during spring and summer. Because the fragrance is so
light, I have heard some say that it doesn’t last long, but regardless I can
keep smelling it throughout the day, and at night my hubby also comments that I
smell nice.
It feels lovely on
the skin, and in spite of being a treatment fragrance, it doesn’t make the skin
feel sticky or tacky. And actually, the fragrance is non-photosensitising,
meaning that it doesn’t react with the sunlight and cause the skin to be more sensitive, burn and get damaged.
As for the
claim of feeling "wakened and
happy", I am not too sure it really makes any difference to my mood and
well being. I have always preferred spring, so enjoy this time of year when
everything comes to life again, so I automatically feel more awake and happy!
What I Like:
- The bright energetic orange bottle
- The light fresh citrus scent
- That it treats both my skin and my senses at the same time
- The price – at $30 it is a good price for a quality perfume-treatment product
- That I can use it during summer without worrying that it may damage my skin
What I don’t Like
- I like
everything about this fragrance, though I would have liked it to have a stronger
citrus scent.
All in all,
this is a lovely fragrance, and being a lover of anything citrus scented, I was
sold the minute I heard it contained grapefruit and mandarin, although I would
have liked this component to be slightly more dominant. I will enjoy using this
throughout spring and summer, and if you’re like me and like citrus scent, I am
sure that you will enjoy the Sunshine Fragrance too!!

I agree, it is very fresh, and perfect for spring. I do really like it, but again would prefer it if had a stronger citrus scent.
