Winter felt longer than ever. The recent solar eclipse blocked out our sun’s light entirely. And when the sun finally does show itself, we’re constantly warned off it, with dire predictions of ruined complexions and dark spots. Which is where perfume comes in. “Sunshine in a bottle” is one of the most alluring scent descriptions; we can rely on a liquid version of the sun’s warming rays at any time of the year. And “Solar” has become a key category in scent.
Sunny scents don’t have to mean sweet fruitiness. Gourmand notes, such as warmed almond, golden honey and coconut, are an obvious choice for conjuring beaches and bright days. Marine scents capture sea-salty days in sunglasses. Which is why Tom Ford’s Porto no remains an eternal bestseller ; Ford’s Soleil Blanc uses citrus, white floral notes on a base of warm, creamy tonka to conjure bright sunlight.
