Description
“Just imagine the young Lili on a holiday at the beach, lounging under an umbrella and enjoying an exotic cocktail or a delicious orange sundae. The fragrance notes in SunKiss are Bermuda Loquat, Orange Blossom, and Vanilla Cream. SunKiss reminds us of a creamy Orange Sherbet swirled with Vanilla Ice cream. The succulent loquat adds a touch of mixed peach, citrus and pineapple. The subtle and delicately sweet perfume evokes the wholesome summer days on a beautiful Bermuda beach.”—Lili Bermuda
SunKiss by Lili Bermuda is a Floral Fruity Gourmand fragrance for women. This is a new fragrance. SunKiss was launched in 2017. The nose behind this fragrance is Isabelle Ramsay-Brackstone. The fragrance features japanese loquat, orange blossom, vanilla and whipped cream.

Lili Bermuda SunKiss is a lovely expression centered around the note of orange blossom. It opens with a bergamot/orange pairing, ever so slightly tart, but quickly dries down into a melange of orange blossom, vanilla, sandalwood, and musk.
I get a creamy, sweet orange blossom creation that feels floral but at the same time gourmand, analagous to an orange creamsicle. The musk and sandalwood really serve only to smooth over the dry down and level it out to a more familiar landing place. Otherwise, they’re not significantly detectable.
Like many gourmands, its note breakdown is simple, but its composition is beautiful, making for an agreeable fragrance that can do wonders in warm weather but is robust enough to wear year-round. I find it a bit unfortunate that it’s identified as a women’s option only on the Lili Bermuda website, as its orange blossom and vanilla mixture seems apropos for any sex (and any age, for that matter), and I wouldn’t describe SunKiss as particularly feminine.
I’ve only tried (so far) the EDT version, the concentration in which most Lili Bermuda fragrances are offered, and I can offer that its performance is excellent, both for the concentration and even more so the price ($95 for 100ml, $75 for 50ml). It projects for several hours and lasts several hours more, at least. The fragrance also comes in liquor perfume and solid perfume, as well.
I’m hard-pressed not to at least mention, given the sweetness and centrality of orange blossom, SunKiss’ slight similarity to Profumum Meringa, but as Meringa is similarly quite a sweet orange blossom scent, SunKiss features more extremes in terms of the tartness and sweetness whereas Meringa is more centered and linear, which I do not regard as a bad thing, just different from SunKiss.
The achievement in SunKiss is excellent for price and might serve as a worth alternative to Meringa for those that cannot afford it. I’m certainly a big fan of Profumum Roma but it’s only fair to sing the praises of an offering that’s 40% of the price of the PR by volume, albeit not as concentrated.

This is a lovely, creamy but light, summery, dreamy frag. I am really falling for this line, but the longevity is giving me pause. It is rather fleeting. I don’t know if they make layering products (I’ll look into this and let you know), but I think a lotion and a shower gel or soap would definitely help it to stick around. A truly seasonal scent, in my opinion. Well suited to spring or summer weather. It conjures images of palm trees, a sweet breeze tinged with tropical flowers and the sun and salt of bikini-clad bodies….not a bad scent at all…just wished it hung around a little longer. The vanilla/cream/citrus combo seems fresher here somehow and more unique (though we all know it’s not). I think I can wholeheartedly recommend it be sampled. FB purchase? The jury is still out.

Sunkiss is the latest release of the independent house of niche fragrances – Lili Bermuda. The fragrance was created to represent the sunny climate of Bermuda and is ideal for those women who want to enjoy a party by the pool or simply want to enjoy a drink during lunch.
However, Sunkiss is much more than a feminine fragrance. In my opinion, it is quite shareable. It features notes of Bermuda loquat, orange bigarade, orange blossom, vanilla cream, woods and musk.
To explain how the fragrance behaved on my skin, I’ll give you a practical example: do you know when you add the whipped cream over the coffee and it melts, because of the heat, and the coffee becomes creamy? That is exactly how I perceived the evolution of Sunkiss. The difference is that, in this case, the vanilla cream rests on a citric and luminous juice, which refreshes but does not lose its creaminess.
Sunkiss is the type of fragrance that remains linear from start to finish, with low projection and excellent durability. I confess I was surprised at how the fragrance remained all day on my skin, even being the Eau de Toilette version. But truth be told, I did not save on sprays.
Does Sunkiss remind me of any other perfume on the market? Well, I can say that if Guerlain would decide to create a perfume called Femme Ideal Cologne, to make pair with the male version, this would be the perfect fragrance. Did you get it?
I always thought the sun kiss would be hot, but I discovered that it is refreshing and creamy. Once again, the perfumer Isabelle Ramsay did a beautiful job.

Completely as described–orange Creamsicle. Pretty and something of which I want to purchase a full bottle, but the longevity is miniscule. Unlike others from this line that I tried, Sunkiss is the only one that left so quickly I barely got to experience it. On the fence as to whether the price is justified.
