Sunshine Man is a highly divisive fragrance that either delights or disappoints depending on tolerance for its unusual opening and unconventional character. The drydown is universally praised for its creamy, sweet vanilla-tonka bean profile, but the strong medicinal lavender and green notes in the opening are polarizing. With discontinuation confirmed and only remaining stock available, sampling is strongly recommended before purchasing at retail price.
