Sunshine Man est un parfum très diviseur qui enchante ou déçoit selon la tolérance pour son ouverture inhabituelle et son caractère non conventionnel. La base est universellement louée pour son profil crémeux et sucré de vanille-tonka, mais les notes de lavande médicinale forte et les notes vertes de l'ouverture sont polarisantes. Avec l'arrêt de la production confirmé et seulement des stocks restants disponibles, l'essai est fortement recommandé avant d'acheter au prix de détail.
