Ciclo Sunset — a fragrance with the mood of sunset
Ciclo Sunset is a women's fragrance released in 2023.
The composition comes in an eau de cologne concentration and combines floral and gourmand facets, creating a sunny, soft and noticeable scent.
The name Sunset perfectly captures its mood: it is the fragrance of a warm evening, when citrus freshness gradually gives way to creamy tenderness and sensual amber depth.
The perfume house Ciclo is originally from Brazil and was founded in 2016 with the idea of creating emotional, high-quality fragrances.
In Sunset, this philosophy is expressed particularly vividly: the composition feels cheerful without being overly simple, combining juicy fruits, sheer florals, a coconut accord and a warm woody-musky base.
The fragrance pyramid and character
The top notes open with sparkling bergamot, mandarin and the green leaf of blackcurrant.
The opening is fresh, slightly tart and juicy, with a distinctive cool green quality that makes the first minutes of the fragrance feel energetic and modern.
At the heart, coconut milk softens the citrus accord and gives it a creamy, almost sunlit roundness.
Jasmine and water lily create an airy floral impression: white-floral, clean and delicately dewy.
Gradually, Sunset becomes smoother and more enveloping while retaining a sense of lightness.
The dry-down is built around amber, Virginia cedar and musk. The amber warmth heightens the sensuality of the composition, cedar adds a dry woody outline, and musk makes the sillage soft yet noticeable.
As a result, the fragrance does not disappear immediately after its fresh opening but leaves behind a warm, distinctive cloud.
Who will enjoy Ciclo Sunset
In terms of mood, Sunset is especially well suited to women who enjoy fresh citrus-floral fragrances with a creamy coconut nuance and an expressive base.
This is not a weightless aquatic cologne, but a richer and more emotional composition that transitions from green freshness to amber-musky warmth.
The fragrance is well suited to warm weather, a walk, a date, relaxing by the water or an evening outdoor event.
Its very strong sillage makes it noticeable in a space, so it is best applied with some restraint: no precise recommendation for the number of sprays on skin and clothing is provided for this release.
It is best to assess its intensity on your own skin and gradually find a comfortable dosage.
Impression and similar fragrances
Ciclo Sunset will appeal to those looking for a balance between an invigorating citrus opening and a soft, almost dessert-like heart.
It combines green freshness, white flowers, creamy coconut and a lasting woody-amber base — a combination that makes the fragrance more versatile than its name might suggest.
For comparison, you might consider Tom Ford Black Orchid, as well as Cacharel Amor Amor and Elizabeth Arden Green Tea.
They do not fully replicate Sunset, but they help reveal different facets of its character: dark richness, fruity-floral playfulness and fresh green transparency.
