Sung by Alfred Sung

Melancholy Child

The woodsy notes really mix well with the jasmine. A very nice floral that isn't too sweet.

This is a nice floral, light with light application, not what I would call a powerhouse by any means. Very nicely blended, smooth, with a hint of indolic jasmine. As a man, I would wear one spritz of this on a warm, late-summer day, to balance out the more regular routine of Guerlain's vetiver.

I still wear it sometimes, it is very sultry, has great sillage and staying power, a cloud of flowers !!!

A quick spray on paper and I was hooked, smells much like Arpege, and I am delighted. Great fragrance and a fantastic value too. Just a minute to add that it is somewhat like Ralph Lauren's Lauren, lots of Hyacinth and Lily of the Valley in the opening.

Sung is a long time favorite of mine. It's a sweet floral, but not so sweet that it becomes a problem, at least for me. The vetiver and sandlewood help control the sweetness, and give it a woody note in the end. I like the sharp green notes that Sung has. Makes it a good spring time fragrance.

Yeah, it's dated compared to all the mess they have out today, but I prefer to use the word classic. Sung has been around since '86 for a reason. Won't be able to say that about most of what is out now in 10-20 years.

As for the age thing, well, Sung is for anyone with a sense of class about them. It really gets to me when people think just because something came out in the 80's and back, it must be for the older crowd. That is just ignorant and rude. Just wear what you like, and be done.

All that aside, I recommend giving this classic fragrance a try.

Just the other day I was doing the dishes at a friend's house. She's one of those people who postpones the dishes until there's no room left in the sink and she runs out of forks. Well, I was scrubbing the nth plate when I realized I had been smelling something familiar for the last hour of dish-washing.

It was Sung!

It has been over a month since I got rid of my bottle, but I could recognize that smell anywhere. A detergent-like fizzy citrus opening settling into a stale floral that I now recognize as greasy dishwasher soap. The extra-strong variety intended to scald oils off pots and pans, mixing with the animal fats on the dishes to create a stale aroma, as heavy as funeral-home flowers.

Strong fragrances must need to be applied with moderation, is like when you make a wish, you allways need to be careful, cuz if you ask for all you want, maybe you can end overwhelmed.

If I want to be in a rose garden, i would not hesitate to tell you that I love Alfred Sung Flowers.

Sung by Alfred Sung has one of the best floral drydown. Sweet with a Green touch, Flowery and long lasting.

This scent is like walking into a warm greenhouse fill with every kind of flower you could think of in full bloom, it has slight green mossy grass under tone to.

I always think of spring and fresh cut flowers with this fragrance - it is very very very very very very powerful and one spray is perfect more then that you are going to smell like a wilted prom corsage

THIS STUFF WILL KILL YOU!!!!! Not literally but its way sweet and strong. I just cant handle the sweetness to this perfume. I prefer something a little more serious than this. Im sure it smells good on anyone but it sure won't be me!

I bought this for my wife on impulse (it was $19 Australian for 3.4 oz) from a clearance table. She is really impressed with it, not the least with its massive sillage. To her it is a big blossomy fragrance that is more clearly floral than another of the fragrances she has. I agree with cinsot that it smells like a fragrance from a past era.

I love this fragrance on the others, but not on me. It´s strange, I like fragrances by Alfred Sung, but I can hardly wear them. They are interesting, long lasting, but there is something strange... I don´t feel well with them. Sung is too green and sappy for me.

Sanna

This scent is too overpowering for me. The smell of too much concentrated floral bouquet, containing all the flowers you can imagine ;-).
I'm getting almost dizzy from it.
No, this perfume is just too much and nothing for me.

Sassy1

I'm a floral person and this is one of my all time favorites, next to L'Air du Temps and Joy. I didn't find this scent until a few years ago and thank goodness for overstock stores! Crisp top (love the hyacinth), white floral middle and smooth creamy soft drydown. Gives off just the right amount of sillage to remind of your presence but not regret it. Very feminine.

Dardona

I always wanted to try this so the other day I purchased a mini . At first At First I didn't like it very much., But I always give perfumes a second chance. I put this on today and I have to say that It is a scent that definitely grows on you. You must wait for the dry down and then it turns into a beautiful, mysterious floral that's not too sweet. Does not smell cheap at all. The best way for me to wear this sparingly. A little goes a long way but very nicely.

Surprisingly, on me this has a strong spicy carnation note, even though it's not listed in the notes. It's like Caron's Bellodgia without the darkness. Also a lot of jasmine. This is quite pretty, but very powerful, and I'm not sure I'd wear it often for that reason. My skin is not bringing out the amber and vetiver that would nicely balance it out, as Miss_Nightingale says.

Well, I have been reaching for Sung every morning for over a week, now. Highly unusual for me, and proof that this has truly earned a place deep in my heart. I have received many compliments whilst wearing this - interestingly, people commenting that they love its "lightness" and the fact that it's "not overpowering" yet manages to be "exotic and sexy" or, as others have described it to me: "refined and intriguing".

Therefore, those of you worried about offending whole rooms of people merely by passing through, I have to say this hasn't happened at all for me - nothing but positive comments from the moment I first sprayed it.

This IS addictive - it's somewhere in the drydown, a particular mixture of notes that just grabs me and refuses to let go. I struggled for some time trying to think what the very last stage of the drydown reminded me of - suddenly it came to me: Jean Desprez's Bal a Versailles! It's the illicit naughtiness of the dark vetiver & warm amber infusing the orange blossom & jasmine, I think. A kind of outrageous bawdiness found deep within the pure white blossoms that tremble at the heart of each perfume. Bal remains the dirtier sister, by far, but Sung could easily be a slightly older, perhaps more aloof member of the same family. Love it!

Just as I was about to put pen to paper (or rather, finger to keyboard) and declare this as "nice, but probably not for me" I suddenly found the long-awaited base notes seeping through and wafting merrily upwards, like wild salmon leaping to the sea at last. At that moment, I lost a little bit of my heart...

The opening was good: a fresh burst of citrus (no mandarin that I could detect, though, which was a little disappointing) and green aldehydes that sparkle and pop like bubbles in homemade lemonade. This faded incredibly quickly - literally in under a minute - and WHAP! BAM! ZOOM! I was assaulted with a massive dose of jasmine.

Now, this shows how my personal tastes are developing: a couple of years ago I would have crossed the road to avoid the smell of jasmine, but this was really lovely - an incredibly true smelling jasmine that entwines with the ylang-ylang and practically hula-dances its way around you, surrounding you with the sense of a warm, exotic island with white sands and dramatic landscape. This sounds idyllic, yet it's not my idyll - the jasmine is just too overwhelming at this stage for me... yet.

Next, we are whisked away to the moonlit balcony of a five-star hotel. A glamourous woman sips a perfectly chilled white wine, her skin glistening, still warm from the heat of the day, smelling very faintly of suntan lotion but mostly of an extremely expensive yet lightly handled oriental perfume. In the background, the evening air carries the faint smell of a warm breeze shaking the jasmine blossoms.

I love this stage - it's incredibly sensual, quite vintage smelling and very definitely 'grown up'. I cannot stop sniffing myself! I may not be the incredibly glamourous woman on the moonlit terrace, but wearing Sung I can at least pretend to be (and drink her wine).

The bottle is rather naff for such a heady, exotic experience as this: it deserves far better.

I'm not normally big on floral scents, but as soon as i tried "Sung" i was hooked!

It starts out as a rather fresh, green, and white floral. But it quickly develops a hint of spice and deep richness that complements the flowers. It's far more complex than one might think at the initial sniff.

My personal preference is for spicy orientals, and that is how "Sung" develops on me beneath its almost tropical florals.

Additionally, on me "Sung" doesn't change. Within seconds it smells as it will continue, unlike many other fragrances that begin in beauty and end with an unanticipated surprise.

And it has astonishing staying power on me. If i don't wash my inner arms, "Sung" will stay for two days, smelling marvelous.

I think it is probably too intense for most work settings. But it is great for a romantic interlude or an elegant evening.

gyftedgrammy

Really nice green/floral scent; you have to sample it for yourself. Sweet initially, but I didn't care for the earthy, mossy base note that develops soon after application. It would work on a younger woman, but only as an evening choice.

NuriaRose

i had a sample from it few years ago . i bought now 24 fabourg by hermes and i think that is very similar perfume
i wish i will find full bottle of the "Sung" which is better

caro23

I wonder if 27 years old (me) isn`t in the young side...jajajaja...maybe not anymore:( i bought this perfume two days ago...i think it is wonderfull!!! it is rich...warm...elegant and sexy...maybe is a hidden treasure ...the younger can go on with their cotton candy stuff...jajajaja

krisiva

I ordered Sung unsniffed and I am very glad I did it. This is one of the most alluring scents in my collection. Although it is very strong at first, on my skin it settles beautifully and I feel really perfect when wearing it. And additional plus - it is not very popular in my country.

sealprincess

I really like this one. I find that one sparay 2 tops is the most you need it's very powerful.

Chaosnmotion

Let me clarify my comment, what I was intending to say was I didn't think it would appeal to the younger set who traditionally like the fruity florals such as are being marketed by Britney Spears and Paris Hilton.. not more classic, florals particularly the greener more woody florals.

guest_Kali

This fragrance is a powerful green floral. Really nice, though. Just spray and walk through. I have to disagree with the previous reviewer, I think this is great for a women in here 20's or any age, really. Men seem to be attracted to it. (not that it matters) lol

guest_Annie

A lovely green floral, that sends mixed messages. Is she simple, sweet, sophisticated or on the prowl? With this one there is no telling.

This fragrance is a forgotten gem and I selfishly admit, I hope it stays that way.

Chaosnmotion

Classic fragrance, not for the younger set.
