Sunshine Woman

My skin chemistry doesn't work with this perfume AT ALL - it smells f*** disgusting on me! It's literally as if someone picked a bunch of garden weed and mushed it. It's bitter, with more bitter and some bitter on top. There's literally not a single pleasant note to this on my skin...!

I absolutely adore this scent, my problem with it Is the performance! Amouage pls make it stronger for me!

The opening smelled of lovely sweet apricots, but it lasted half a minute and then it got super minty. I was wondering what is was, turned out it's the tobacco! This basically smells like a freshly opened box of snus- small tobacco pouches that you put under your lip to get a little high on nicotine, very common in Scandinavia :) Needless to say, I won't be spraying it on my skin hehe..

The drydown is soo similar to Jazz Club, it’s like Jazz club with added marzipan and floral notes making it more feminine (and I do love the Jazz Club dna so it’s such a hit for me) it’s perfect for every season and occasion but not versatile in a boring way, it’s rich and complex

Selling a partial bottle of Sunshine. Old formulation, full presentation. UK shipping

It’s a love. Perfect for a summer evening out. The quality of the ingredients is apparent and they are so beautifully blended. Totally addictive dry down. It sings ‘summer’ without giving tanning oil and is just slightly sweet. Extremely alluring and gorgeous scent bubble.its quite thick and bombastic so go easy, but if you miss your luscious amber dry downs in the warm weather, this might be your solution. Amouage does it again.

Yum 😋 creamy and powdery almonds. Like marzipan with added florals. Amazing perfume

Smells like ashtray up close, it’s kinda gross.

it's probably just me but the tobacco just did not work for me, smelled dirty.

They brought it back. 🙏🏼

Has this been reformulated? I recently got a perfume with batch code of April 2023 and it does not smell like the other bottle that I had that was older. It's much lighter in this new one and doesn't have the same body to it. Weak sauce. Anyone else experience this?

Well done Amouage for bringing it back. I hope you consider your clients' loyalty and preference for Sunshine Woman and never discontinue it ever again

It's BACK !! 2026 Great news, Amouage has brought this beauty back 🌞

My all time fav. Amouage!!! Please bring it back and make an extrait version, it would be a very big financial success for Amouage!

I wanted to like this so much... as the name suggests its supposed to be like a sunshine in a bottle, I definetly got that in the beginning but after 10 minutes on the skin came a headache and i had to wash it off. I've tried one more Amouage perfume (Blossom love) and same thing happened

I mean... this is a good, decent fragrance but the price tag it so over than the potential of the juice.Creamy and a little powdery scent with a noticeable vanilla and almond.I also feel a Little touch of tobacco, black currant and jasmine. Beautiful decent fragrance but I do not see it this expensive.

There seems to be no good affordable dupe for this one😳

I absolutely adore this scent! 😍 I’m so happy I managed to buy a bottle after it was discontinued. Of course, it’s really disappointing and surprising at the same time, I thought this was one of the brand’s bestsellers. I’m really hoping they re-release it 🤞🏻 As for the fragrance itself, it’s simply magnificent! I got a bottle where the apricot osmanthus note stands out the most. It’s very ripe and truly sunny! There’s also a pleasant tartness with a slight bitterness, which I think comes from the almond and white tobacco. At the same time, the scent remains very airy and joyful ☀️ There’s a lovely sweetness in the fragrance that sounds incredibly delicate. It beautifully highlights the apricot nuance, rounds out the composition, and makes it unbelievably soft and cozy. For me, this is an absolutely all-season fragrance. The only thing I’ve noticed is that in warmer weather it becomes a bit sweeter. The longevity is phenomenal, one spray on my wrist lasts the whole day.

Gorgeousssss on paper but on my skin it's just tobacco-y :(

I could not get past the tobacco note in this. Otherwise beautiful, but I felt like with every sniff I was getting a whiff of ashtray. Clashed with the rest of the notes in my opinion.

1) is identical to Santal Complet but this one last anything on skin. 2) the bottle, quality and presentation is adorable. Sadly they discontinued and I don’t understand why 🥺😓. This a lovely creamy, fruity woodsy perfume. I detect some coconut 🥥 even if it’s not present.

If you're missing Amouage Sunshine, try Borntostandout Sugar Addict. On paper they shouldn't be similar, but to me, they absolutely vibe 🙌🏼

Second chapter of the Midnight flower collection which was actually the first scent released by Amouage in the featured collection. Be prepared because this is darker than Sunshine Man. Note that the perfumer is Sidonie Lancesser from @robertet_group and not as Fragrantica states Elise Benat. Sunshine Woman is a white floral, gourmand perfume. It contains some raw materials not previously featured in an Amouage perfume. Essential oil from Artemesia pallens or davana, an aromatic herb grown in South India, is an important part of Sunshine’s fruity complex feel, which is further embellished with blackcurrant liqueur and the peachy apricot tones of osmanthus absolute. This is the same ostmanthus used the year before (2013) in Journey Woman, but here is recontextualized; it is moved away from the tea-theme to a more deliciously rich concotion. The rich floral construction is built around jasmine and magnolia. Another element of the fragrance, which works in parallel with the fruity and floral notes, is its gourmand theme. It begins with a finely textured almond note and continues with vanilla. These two raw materials transform the bright floral heart of the perfume into something more textural and grounding. Even if Mr. Chong's intention was to steer away from being overly dark and moody, Sunshine’s exuberant demeanour is stamped with some hallmark Amouage base notes. A touch of smoky cade wood gives Sunshine a subtle hint of leather. Papyrus, patchouli and blond tobacco add a sophisticated edge to this wonderfully playful perfume. I cannot get why Luca Turin gave to it a one star saying this is a generic white flowers. And here I am calling to express freely your take. The davana is magnificent with that apricot tone working perfectly with the ostmanthus and the liqueur. The cade oil is finally a master touch as it cuts through all that light with a welcomed shadow of leather. IG @alexolympia6

If you were to take Turkish dried apricots, place them on waxed parchment paper, drizzle them with honey, and leave them on a stone windowsill on a scorching summer day, letting the sun slowly warm those golden discs, the resulting delicacy would smell exactly like Amouage Sunshine. Yes, it's the scent of sun-drenched apricots mingling with the refined tobacco haze drifting from a nearby hookah lounge. This is the aroma of a languid Istanbul summer: a fountain murmuring nearby, a minaret rising above the rooftops, and a drowsy ginger cat stretching lazily in the heat. It evokes a sleepy midday nap, a string of carefree days where there is no room for anxiety or the pressure of hustle culture. This sense of happiness feels so multifaceted and all-encompassing that it transcends age and gender. Sunshine is equally beautiful on a young girl, a woman seeking a luminous mood, a spirited young man in a flirtatious state of mind, or anyone else. In fact, on my husband's skin the tobacco note takes center stage, making the fragrance lean surprisingly masculine. Like all Amouage creations, the longevity is incredible, with an expansive, breathtaking sillage. On my skin, it truly shines in early spring. When worn outdoors, the apricot sweetness and warmness is beautifully tempered by the cool, crisp air and the scent of awakening earth and early blossoms. While it is undoubtedly expensive, the juice is highly concentrated, and a little goes a long way. After three years of steady use, the level in my bottle has barely dropped by a centimeter. One final note: the scent can vary slightly depending on the batch and place of production. In my experience, the Oman-made version tends to be a bit sweeter than the one produced in the UK.

After several hours is smells like Bois d'Arménie, like exactly the same.

Is Sunshine and Material discontinued? I don’t see them on official website.

This is absolute perfection. For me this scent doesn’t really match the notes that well but yet I know if it was truly as simple as the parts I pick up it would smell completely different probably. To me it’s very warm & rich, sweet but not juvenile. I think of it like a winter scent that can be worn in summer. I get mostly vanilla but creamy, fuzzy vanilla not sugary thick vanilla (maybe that’s the almond playing in); tobacco but sweet tobacco like a black & mild not tobacco flower or grandpa’s tobacco; and the nectarine-like quality of osmanthus. The whole thing comes off like the most decadent flavored cigarette, then toned down I guess by all the other notes that I don’t consciously pick up. I use the DUA brand Mrs. Sunshine and it’s potent and accurate. Sometimes these higher quality scents don’t translate accurately in dupe versions - especially when there’s vanilla - but I’m very happy with this one. I love it by itself but more often, I layer it with Bottega Venetta Illusione.

I am late to Amouage Sunshine Woman but something kept nagging at me since I knew it was being discontinued so I ordered a sample and when I got it I just fell in love with it. I don’t like gourmands and vanillas or almond notes, but i love a sweet warm fragrance. This is so beautiful and so well blended on my skin and I’m wearing it on a 90 degree day today and it makes me happy! Not too much or cloying. I get wafts of sweetness mixed with a subtle subtle papery smokiness after a few hours, in the base. Perhaps the tobacco? It’s barely detectable but enough to anchor the fragrance and give it some depth. I ordered a full bottle and can’t wait to spray it liberally from a nice atomizer. I’m a fan of Imitation Woman, figment woman and Epic Woman but this is an easy reach. Love it!

if anyone has a bottle for sale, pm me please

I am so upset I did my bought this when it was available at fragrancenet and Jomashop. I kept buying different perfumes and waiting for this and now is not available anymore and some other places has ridiculous price that I Dot’n want to pay. I have to keep a look everywhere and see when is available to get it. I was able to get love mimosa and figment which were both not available for a long time l.
