Sun Cities by Vilhelm Parfumerie is a new unisex fragrance launched in 2025, created by perfumer Jérôme Epinette . Radiant yet grounded, Sun Cities captures the glow of sunlit metropolises—where heat, elegance, and movement merge into a bold, contemporary signature.
The fragrance opens with a vibrant trio of pineapple, Italian mandarin, and cardamom. Pineapple adds juicy brightness, mandarin delivers citrus sparkle, and cardamom introduces aromatic warmth, creating an energetic and sun-drenched opening.
In the heart, the composition deepens with a rich, textured blend of leather, saffron, violet, Chinese osmanthus, oakmoss, and immortelle. Leather and saffron bring warmth and sophistication, violet adds powdery softness, osmanthus introduces a subtle fruity-leathery nuance, while oakmoss and immortelle provide earthy, resinous depth.
The base settles into a glowing, addictive trail of patchouli, amber, sugar, and musk. Patchouli grounds the scent, amber radiates warmth, sugar adds a soft gourmand sweetness, and musk leaves a sensual, skin-like finish.
Sun Cities is bold, luminous, and modern—an oriental-leaning composition that balances fruit, leather, and ambered sweetness with confident elegance.
