SYMPATHY FOR THE SUN
Lemon, bergamot and peony over wet, salted woods, evoking Mediterranean sunshine and sea breeze, inspired by the Rolling Stones' 1971 stay in the south of France.
Perfumer: Fabrice Pellegrin
Roos & Roos built Sympathy for the Sun around a moment of rock history: the Rolling Stones' legendary 1971 stay in the south of France. The brand calls them a cult band for Chantal and Alexandra. What the scent evokes is the sensation of that southern stay: Mediterranean sunshine and a sea breeze.
Lemon and bergamot open with a bright burst of citrus. The brand describes it as a puff of citrus sunshine. Peony then unfolds at the heart, and the brand's description adds petal-like jasmine, drawing out a marine sensuality.
The base is listed as wet and salted woods. The description calls it a tender, radiant salted-wood accord, enriched by oakmoss, and pictures the whole blooming on sun-tanned skin. The perfumer is Fabrice Pellegrin.
