Launched in 2019 as part of Louis Vuitton’s “Les Colognes” Collection by perfumer Jacques Cavallier Belletrud, Sun Song was crafted as a tribute to the radiance of sunlight itself. The original formulation quickly became beloved for its bright, photorealistic citrus burst, airy florals, and radiant longevity—qualities that later batches softened.

This version captures pure summer energy: uplifting, radiant, and sun-kissed on skin.

Opening:

From the first spray, Sun Song dazzles with Californian orange, citron, and bergamot. It’s sparkling, juicy, and luminous, like fresh-squeezed citrus glowing in golden light. The 2019 blend felt particularly vivid—natural and effervescent, with a brightness that seemed to glow off the skin.

Heart:

At its core, neroli and musk give the fragrance its solar identity. The neroli is creamy, white-floral, and slightly honeyed, wrapping the citrus in elegance. A subtle powdery nuance adds refinement, transforming the composition from a mere citrus splash into a luxury skin scent.

Dry Down:

The finish is musky, soft, and radiant. Gentle musk and white floral undertones blend seamlessly with the citrus, creating a clean, uplifting aura. It’s sheer but persistent, like sunlight that lingers on the skin.

Where later batches leaned lighter, the original 2019 formulation had a stronger citrus-floral glow that lasted longer on both skin and clothing.

Performance:

For a citrus fragrance, the original Sun Song performs beautifully—6–8 hours of longevity with a radiant aura that projects softly yet noticeably. Ideal for warm weather, where it amplifies beautifully.

Vibe Check:

• Unisex, leaning bright-feminine with its floral heart

• Perfect for summer days, beach trips, spring brunches, or layering with woody or musky scents

• For lovers of luxury citrus scents that feel as radiant as they smell

Final Word:

Sun Song (2019) is Louis Vuitton’s ode to sunlight in its purest form—zesty, floral, and radiant. The original formulation shines with a depth and brightness that collectors still chase today. If you want a fragrance that feels like summer bottled, elevated with Louis Vuitton’s luxurious touch, this first edition is a treasure.
