Aegean Bronze by Korres captures a sun-drenched, bronzed beach day with a gauzy, creamy sweetness. It opens with a soft citrus and bergamot brightness, but quickly settles into a sweet, silky base of spun sugar, vanilla, and a subtly salty sand accord. The frangipani and freesia notes form a quiet floral layer, blended into the creaminess rather than standing out. The overall scent feels dry, airy, and sun-kissed—like a sun tan lotion with a hint of coconut and musk, evoking seaside warmth and lightness. It lacks sharpness or intensity, projecting moderately without sudden changes over time. The dry down is smooth and soothing, carrying a delicate balance of sweetness that avoids cloying. While most find it appealing, the longevity is moderate, with some noting a rapid fade after about an hour.
