Sunshine Smell Bent for women

This is actually a review for the "remix" version of this scent - Sunshine, Mama's Spiced Tea (sun-brewed black tea spiced with tangy orange, clove, cinnamon, nutmeg and dry sandalwood).

At first spritz, I get a spiced orange smell. After it settles, it becomes orange plus "something". That "something" smells like a type of soap or air freshener that I've smelled before. It was hard to pinpoint at first.

The scent is mostly linear and it faded after an hour on my skin.

That "something" turned out be green-smelling. Pine.

4.5 hours later, it was faint. So much so, that I had to press my nose to my wrist to smell it.

After 10.5 hours, the smell was gone.

Woody bases tend to "disappear" on my skin. This happened with Daisy.

On my skin, this smell like an orange-pine air freshener with a very faint base. If you can carry light wood bases well, this would work out for you.

If you're like me, you won't be buying this. It's not chokingly bad (like Fuzzy Teacup was for me), but it's okay. I wouldn't wear this as it gives off an odd pine-y smell on my skin. I'll be sticking with my Little Miss Panda.

Not floral woody musk IMO, more lemon/lime washing up liquid. Disappointed in this one, from the usually reliable Smell Bent.

Sunshine is sweet, gourmand in a daily gourmand sweet treat way, orange-y and optimistic. Somehow I cannot really distinguish am I sniffing a perfume, or am I smelling the familiar smell of those orange flavoured jelly candies covered with a thin layer of sugar.

Sunshine is kinda linear, it just goes flatter, and tarter, somewhat with a hint of upcoming citrusy eraser smell. I was expecting a more uplifting smell for Sunshine, however what I get here, is more like a primary school girl’s school bag kinda sweet lollipop sunshine. Not that satisfied, but still find Sunshine nice enough to wear.

Towards the dry down, Sunshine becomes a moody pretty girl which is somewhat hard to deal with. The slightly rubbery smell is just a bit too much, and ruins the nice sweet orange-y sunshine feel to the perfume. Not impressed at all.

The other reviewers nailed it...orange creamsicle. Sunshine is a very cheerful, uplifting scent. It becomes a soft sandalwood on the dry down...I'm not terrible impressed by the sillage (there appears to be very little to none) and the staying power is even less impressive on my body. This would a great 'fume for a teenaged girl.

Edited to add: I liberally applied the rest of my sample of Sunshine oil. I immediately noticed a difference with sillage & a co-worker even complimented my scent. When I told her it was called Sunshine, she agreed it was a very appropriate name. The only downside of the liberal application is the resonating sweetness of the orange & vanilla...some people may find it too cloying.

When I put it on the first time, all I could smell was sandalwood. Luxurious and soft, but only sandalwood. As the hours passed, I began getting whiffs of vanilla and citrus, that I found out later was blood orange. However, when I reapplied about four hours later, I immediately perceived the blood orange right in the top! Both of my tests on separate days acted in exactly the same way. This fragrance evolves (devolves?) in reverse for me.

I'm not getting the "creamsicle" effect that other have mentioned. The orange is lovely over the sandalwood, and the effect is very rich. The wood is very dominant to me, with the vanilla, and to some extent the orange, seeming to be modifiers rather than their own separate threads. I'm not sure whether this is going to be my favorite of my samples, but I enjoy it quite a lot. It does make me feel sort of happy :)

Yep, Orange juice + vanilla = creamsicle to my nose! Very creamy, and not overwhelmingly sweet. Sunshine does not smell at all warm to me; I think the vanilla cools it a little -- appropriately for a creamsicle, if not so much for sunshine. I like it more after the sandalwood kicks in and sexes it up a little. It really does smell lovely -- I think it might be my favorite of the Smell Bents so far.

This is another in the Smell Bent line that I'm testing in the winter, and that I think will probably be much better in the summertime -- the scents have a playful feeling that screams summer to me! I can see Sunshine being super-fun when it's too hot to even consider wearing Fendi Theorema, but I still want that creamy orange luxury.

The more I wear this, the more I like it. It is a very "happy" smell. I don't get the "orange creamsicle" effect although I do get orange and vanilla for the first few minutes, then sandalwood & musk come in and add depth so it's not dessert. Sweet, light and luscious. Love it.

A blood orange creamsicle... Not as potent as the other smell bents, but my personal favorite (I love anything vanilla or gourmand). Absolutely stunning and subtle with mid lasting power. This is the best "creamsicle" frag I have found yet, and I have tried all price ranges- lucky for me, this is $20 without at all smelling cheap. I love Smell Bent!
