In The Sun
by Bath & Body Works
A radiant, sun-kissed scent that captures the essence of summer with a refined balance of neroli, orange blossom, and sandalwood. It opens with a bright citrus freshness, evolves into a soft, elegant white floral heart, and settles into a warm, subtly musky sandalwood base. The fragrance feels surprisingly sophisticated and nuanced for a Bath & Body Works product, evoking the effortless sensuality of a golden-hour beach moment. It wears well as a personal fragrance during the day, particularly in summer heat, where its airy, non-clingy nature makes it feel refreshing and wearable. Many find it mimics the qualities of elite perfumes like Tom Ford Neroli Portofino and Jo Malone Orange Blossom, with layered complexity that feels more authentic than expected. The scent transforms subtly on skin, with some noting a shift toward a deeper, more gauzy white floral character over time. While not overly long-lasting, it maintains a pleasant presence, especially when layered with complementary scents like Hindi Oud.
