The review

Worth a try. That is where Sunbathing lands when you weigh what it costs, what it is made of and how firmly it is matched to On the Beach.

Perfume Parlour sells it on the name alone — no note list of its own — so the brief is On the Beach's pyramid, and the closeness votes below are the real test.

It is sold as an extrait — a high concentration, which usually means it sits closer to the skin for longer.

At $114 per 100ml it costs 53% less than On the Beach — the 2nd cheapest of 3 twins we can price.

Some wearers dispute how close it gets — the match is the seller's claim, so read the votes before you buy.

Reviewed on paper: from the notes and strength Perfume Parlour publishes, the price per 100ml, and how firmly the match is claimed. How it really smells on skin is what the votes below are for.

What it's built to smell like

What it is chasing: yuzu and neroli up top, rosemary, thyme and sand in the middle, cypress underneath — the shape of Louis Vuitton On the Beach.

Top

  • yuzu
  • neroli

Heart

  • rosemary
  • thyme
  • sand

Base

  • cypress
Yuzu and rosemary over a warm sand accord and cypress, dry and bright, a towel at noon.

Some fans dispute how close this one gets — it is listed against the original by its seller.
