Out of the four launch-releases from the brand, Sunbed & Daydreams was definitely my least favorite and the only one I didn’t enjoy as an overall experience.

It instantly felt like the most generic, albeit very pleasant opening. Light, airy, semi-fruity with sun-tan lotion qualities. There’s quite a citrussy bite, which I appreciated, before unveiling a dry, powdery sweetness.

It goes off for me as it dries down; the sweet powderiness gets a candied feeling and a combined with some harsher notes, presumably the prolongue the wear, it turns into a sweet, sour, bitter mouth-puckering sensation that I didn’t enjoy anymore (a couple of hours into the wear). It turns very astringent for me.
