  It smells of suntan lotion, just like that. I liked it a lot. Although it’s not as intense, it still lasts on my skin; I tested it five hours ago. It’s quite sweet and more on the creamy side. Ideal for summer. During the day I’d use suntan lotion to go to the beach and at night Sun di Gioia to go out.

  I bought it thanks to a promotion from my bank so I wouldn’t miss the chance to expand my collection; I really had no great expectations and it turned out to be a delightful surprise. It evokes summery scenes, it’s cheerful, neither heavy nor weak. The freesia and ylang-ylang temper the citrus, while the vanilla, always present in my perfumes, gives me exactly what I need. I love it for daytime wear in all seasons, although in winter I prefer something with better longevity.

  Sun di Gioia is one of the few flankers of Acqua di Gioia, a line that obviously takes inspiration from nature. Apart from that, talking about the intellectual depth of this line is unnecessary, especially considering that Sun di Gioia was a special summer edition from 2016, immediately discontinued. Given the lack of recent creativity from Armani with cloying fragrances like Stronger With You, it didn’t seem lamentable. In summary, I subscribe to the previous descriptions: it’s a warm, creamy and cosy scent that reminds me of suntan cream, with acidic bergamot nuances at the start and woody streaks at the end. Essentially, it evolves little, limiting itself to being cosy with creamy and starchy vanilla, full of yellow and luminous chords. It’s not novel (if you’re looking for something more singular, try Elle L’amie by Lolita Lempicka), but it’s simple, conventional, comfortable and relaxing. Although it’s for summer, it serves in cold climates. I like it and it suits me, although it’s not transcendent or excessively exquisite, but it smells good. Sillage and longevity are regular.

  Very summery and tropical, an exotic floral. A scent of creamy frangipani mixed with the sweetness of vanilla (sometimes it reminds me of marzipan), evoking the tropical smell of a suntan lotion. It lasts quite a while on the skin.

  It’s rich and distinct from its sister Sky. Sweet but not to the extreme; it has character. It’s more of a soft and moderate fragrance than an intense one.

  I’m back to my Sensi de Armani days, my favourite essence that disappeared all of a sudden. I searched in vain until a shop offered to let me try a new fragrance, ‘Sun of something’. I didn’t know the Gioia range and tried it with indifference, but when I tested it, my eyes opened wide with happiness. It’s like a rehash of my Sensi, with small differences but the same base. Despite being expensive, I bought it a few days ago and have no regrets. Everyone asks what I’m wearing because it smells delicious. It’s sweet, rich, with moderate sillage but extraordinary fixative power. I wear it in winter without any issues. I recommend it widely: romantic, classy, a little sexy, and suitable for everyday wear.

  I loved it! If the sun had a scent, it would be this. Super summery, comforting and feminine. The scent isn’t heavy, but it is very long-lasting.

  I loved it! If the sun had a scent, I’m certain it would be this. Super summery, comforting, feminine, and the aroma isn’t heavy but it is long-lasting.

  Sun di Giogia smells like holidays, not those perfumes that smell like suntan lotion. The scent is sweet but not cloying, perfect for the first summer; wearing it makes you feel as though you’re on the beach soaking up the sun.

  Sun di Gioia smells like holidays, not beach suntan lotion. Sweet but not cloying, perfect for the first summer. Wearing it makes you feel as though you’re on the beach soaking up the sun.

  I always wear it, although I don’t see it as particularly summery due to the vanilla, which doesn’t suit me in the heat. It’s ideal for other seasons. It smells of soft tiare flower and vanilla, nothing sweet or shrill, but rather creamy and pleasant. Although it’s soft, it lasts a long time on my skin and clothes until I wash it. Excellent longevity and moderate projection. When it dries down, it reminds me of Dior’s J’adore In Joy. Simple but worth it.

  The king of the line. I bought three bottles when I heard it was being discontinued; a real shame for Armani. To me, it’s pure summer: cool mornings, sunshine, and the scent of suntan lotion. Delicious, warm but not overpowering. I can smell the florals, and although it doesn’t list them, it reminds me of coconut; I always look for that touch, and the note blend in Sun makes it feel present in the imagination. Delicate and wearable. I wish it were more intense, but I’m fascinated by its aroma, and more strength might make it cloying. I look after it carefully; there are few like this, ideal for summer without being citrusy.

  I’m not sure if it’s been discontinued, but in my city I find it easily and cheaply. It’s a pleasant perfume, ideal for mild and hot days. On my skin, the ambroxan stands out with the creaminess of vanilla, coconut and the tropical touch of frangipani, which dominates from the start. It’s sweet, but just right, with excellent projection and longevity. It smells of exotic flowers on a summer night. I like it; it’s luminous and reminds me of Estee Lauder’s Bronze Goddess from 2017, this one being lighter and more oriental. Phenomenal for any age, best with a relaxed style, little clothing, beach or pool. It gives the sensation of having put on a luxury bronzer. Creamy, unctuous, ethereal and long-lasting. Stunning for summer and any occasion.

  I only tried it on blotter; it smells warm, like a bronzer. It sounds the same as Monoi Tiki Tahiti by Tiare flower.

  I tried it on blotter, liked it and picked it up online on offer. It smells good, but I don’t find it elegant or special. The projection is good and it lasts about six hours. I don’t know which note it is, but this summer it gave me heat with it, so I gifted it to my sister.

  I smelled it on blotter paper, liked it, and decided to buy it online during a sale. It smells good, but in my opinion, it’s not an elegant or special scent. The projection isn’t bad and the longevity is about six hours for me. I’m not sure which note it is, but this summer it became unbearable to wear on hot days, and in the end, I gave it to my sister.

  I was keen to try Sun di Gioia because of the Fragrantica reviews, saw it on the shelf in a perfumerie and jumped straight to the tester. It smells creamy and fruity, a pleasant and simple fragrance. During the day I kept sniffing my wrist because it gave me a total déjà vu; I was sure I hadn’t tried it before but the scent was familiar… until I understood! It’s exactly the same as Sun by Jeanne Arthes. If you like Sun di Gioia, grab a bottle of Sun by Jeanne Arthes; it costs ten times less.

  I had been dying to try Sun di Goia after reading the reviews on Fragrantica, and when I spotted it in the perfumerie, I jumped straight onto the tester without a second thought. It smells creamy and fruity, very pleasant and simple. During the day, someone smelled my wrist and gave me a total déjà vu; I was certain I had tried it before and that scent felt familiar… until it clicked! It’s exactly the same as Sun by Jeanne Arthes. If you like Sun di Goia, buy yourself a bottle of Sun by Jeanne Arthes; it costs ten times less.

  It opens citrusy with a powdery touch, but as it dries down it leaves a rich, sweet vanilla. The problem is that on my skin, a salty note appears at the end which no longer convinces me. It lasts about two hours with good projection, then another two hours close to the skin, so I have to reapply several times a day. It reminds me of Olympea by PR, although Sun di Gioia is lighter.

  It smells nice, a light tropical floral and summery scent, with a sweet touch, vanilla and a salty note from ambroxan. The trail is low and its drawback is the longevity, about three hours at most. I use it in layering with other perfumes to give it more life, generally with Monolithics of coconut, honey or jasmine. I stick with the original Acqua di Gioia (not reformulated). Scent 7/10, longevity 3/10, trail 4.5/10, value for money 3/10, versatility 2/10, packaging 6/10. Would I buy it again? No.

  I read a review about this perfume and decided to buy it blind. It was a bit of a hunt to find it, but I managed to get my hands on it. Upon using it, I certainly felt a bit of what I had been reading… The fragrance is inspired by the sun, and that is exactly what I felt. It’s warm; it reminds me of a beach day (I’ve read elsewhere that people say it smells like suntan lotion, well, yes, it can be, but in a totally positive way), but also a feeling of homey warmth, like baking a cake with my grandmother… I suppose all these things have the common factor of the heat radiating from the sun. It has an extremely long-lasting scent; I kept smelling it even after my shower, and that warm, sweet scent remained… it makes you feel like a teenager on the beach during summer holidays.

  I read a review and bought it blind. It was hard to find, but once I wore it I felt what they said: inspired by the sun. It smells of the beach (like a bronzer, but in a positive way) and of homey warmth, like baking with grandma. Everything has in common the heat of the sun. It has an extremely long-lasting scent; I kept smelling it even after my shower; that warm, sweet scent makes you feel like an adolescent on holiday.

  The first perfume that reminds me of summer. It has an amber liquid that announces its warmth. It’s mature, warm and embracing, like the sun and feet in the sand with bronzed skin. It’s carnal, with frangipani present all the time. Of the Armani Gioia range, it’s one of the few without the sweetness; here you can taste the salt. Projection is medium for the first hour, then it sits close to the skin.

  I bought it looking for Armani Code and was recommended this instead; I fell in love at first sniff. It’s sweet and warm, like being on the beach. I loved it so much I wanted to buy it again, but it was limited edition and it hurt. Does anyone know if there’s anything similar?

  One of my favourites; it doesn’t fade and smells of coconut with fresh flowers, perfect for summer. It’s like a moist cake, I simply adore it.
