The smell of home
At the beginning of the 90s I moved to Middle Hesse, because of love. In the middle of the 90s I got hold of Sunflowers for the first time, just before I got married. I lived in Mittelhessen for 25 years until we moved to the Ruhr area for various reasons and I had to leave my adopted country.
For me, Sunflowers is inseparable from the most wonderful time of my life and one of the best summer scents I can imagine.
Sure, it is quite cheap and also nothing exuberant special. But that's what makes it so great for me.
The beautiful freshness and the delicate flowery smell remind me of the numerous walks at night along the Lahn, when the coolness of the water eases the heat of the day a little.
Or to our hidden place on the banks of the Lahn, when we watched the kingfishers fishing and were protected from the scorching sun under trees.
Wandering through the woods and fields, with stars in their eyes and the light-heartedness of youth in their luggage. All that will come back to life when I put on my beloved Sunflowers. Its simplicity and the pleasant scent of flowers make Sunflowers a companion for the whole day. The woody, mossy base notes are easily perceptible and give me a pleasantly homely, sensual feeling without getting too excited.
I belong to those who like to spray a lot and often. Sunflowers tolerates this, although it would not actually be necessary, as I get something from it for a long time. The fine fragrance hovers around me for six to seven hours, even if I don't have anything to spray on.
My last bottle was quickly empty, so that I soon have to get a new one. Until then I'll settle for the offshoots!

Love after 20 years
1995 fresh after the Abi in the 1. job. I was excited, man. Of course as a newcomer you are shy and try to spy out someone among the pack of gawpers who somehow looks nice and to whom you can confide.

A young lady catches my eye, blond, pretty, busty ... yes, that could be it. In fact, after a short time we were very close together and she became more and more a friend. The only thing I didn't like was how she smelled ... to Sunflowers. She must have had an incredible wear because you could really smell her miles against the wind. At some point it was too much for me and I just couldn't stand this scent. That even went so far that I hated him.

20 years later, looking for a new summer scent, I pass Sunflowers again. Involuntarily I had to think of my colleague and just grabbed the bottle. A small sprayer, very careful.

And suddenly I couldn't take my nose off my wrist. It simply smells of sun, so wonderful, creamy that I can hardly describe it. The next day I took it and found my new summer scent. I'm definitely not going to bathe in it, though. Two sprayers are enough because Sillage and durability are monster-like. It lasts up to ten hours with me. Madness

Warm straw, country flowers and a good mood
A lush bouquet of yellow and orange flowers lies on a bale of straw.
The sun's rays shine on the straw and warm the stalks. The flowers are already dried. It is a dried flower bouquet. They are native country flowers. Nothing exotic.
Then a summer thunderstorm moves in, a warm rain falls, and the bouquet and the sun-warmed straw get damp. Due to the wetness, the flowers give off a sour, tart floral smell and really turn on fragrance-wise. The scent is intense and strong, it has power. There is no sweetness to be smelled. Just the lush juicy smell of the floral bouquet, which has interesting tart/bitter secondary notes that you don't notice until you get to know the scent and take your time with it.
But soon after the sun shows itself again and dries everything again. But a little moisture remains and so smells for me Sunflowers.

The fragrance has a marginal spot on the bottom left of the perfumery I went to. Along with its buddy Green Tea. But those who appreciate it will find it there, too.

Flowers exponentiated
He lives up to his name. It smells flowery, fresh and again flowery. And only that - without sweetness or other pungent notes. I got to know him through a friend of mine who for years wore only this fragrance. The Sillage is very good, the shelf life decreases significantly after 3-4 hours, but is not unusual for an EdT. Nice is the low price. For me the optimal spring scent! But really only that. For the summer it lacks that certain something. Otherwise one recognizes it from other flowery scents immediately. Nevertheless: If you don't want to spend a lot of money and you like flowery scents, you will be happy with this fragrance

Prozac Perfume
Sunflowers was introduced in the early '90s, a time when fashion consisted of grunge and Prada-influenced minimalism and somber colours. I'm not surprised that it became a hit against this background, because Sunflowers is about as uplifting as perfume gets. While wearing it I never think, "Damn, I smell great," it's more that I simply feel more upbeat for having sprayed some on. Great perfume it is not. The top notes of melon, lemon, peach, etc. contain something piercingly synthetic that never fails to wrinkle my nostrils. Nevertheless, there is a dash of oakmoss and other dusky notes that balance the exuberant fruit and florals, thereby elevating Sunflowers out of the realm of body sprays and into the world of proper perfume. I wore it today to snap out of the kind of dreariness that comes with a week of on and off torrential rain, and it hasn't let me down. Sunflowers is so inexpensive that I would recommend giving it a shot, especially since it has fairly good longevity and sillage. Like me, you may find yourself a cheap little mood lifter.

Nice scent. a little too complicated though and should be sprayed lightly because it's kind of overpowering. Gets better with age.

It seems cheerful and smells like dry summer grass, abundant in fruity notes, with aquatic flowers on a powdery, woody, and mossy carpet.

It was my mother's signature scent on in summer. Rich like her sunny personality.
On my skin I smell mainly the osmanthus notes
