“Whenever I put on a Sunspel tee, it feels so effortlessly elegant – that’s what I wanted to capture in this fragrance. I knew I wanted a happy, uplifting cologne, but Sunspel is all about impeccable detail, roundedness, and balance, so I knew Neroli Sun needed to embody that. There is cheerful neroli, sunny bitter orange, and classic petitgrain, but I infused them with herbs to make Neroli Sun more English and characterful.”
