Project 1945 Sunset in Sumba is a unisex fragrance by the Indonesian brand Project 1945, released in 2021.
This eau de parfum has a distinctive oriental-spicy character and was created for those who enjoy rich compositions with a noticeable presence and a deep dry-down.
The name Sunset in Sumba evokes the image of sunset light, but the fragrance itself unfolds not as an airy watercolor, but in a denser and more energetic way.
It combines spicy expressiveness, balsamic depth, woody nuances and gentle gourmand warmth, giving the composition a modern feel without sacrificing its sensuality.
In terms of its olfactory profile, Sunset in Sumba belongs to the oriental and spicy fragrance families.
Additional facets are created by balsamic, citrus, fruity, gourmand, green and woody accents, allowing the scent to develop with dimension rather than being reduced to a single dominant note.
The fragrance opens brightly and spicily, then becomes warmer, resinous and slightly smoky. In the final stage, softness, woody depth and rounded vanilla come to the fore.
This development will particularly appeal to fans of rich fragrances that change beautifully on the skin and leave a distinctive impression.
This is a unisex perfume that unfolds equally intriguingly on both women’s and men’s skin.
Its character is expressive rather than neutral: Sunset in Sumba is for those who choose not a subtle backdrop, but a true perfumery statement.
Because of its very strong sillage, the fragrance is best suited to evenings, cool weather, special occasions and situations where a noticeable perfume presence is appropriate.
On a hot day, it may feel especially intense, so it is best to start with a small number of sprays.
The stated sillage of Sunset in Sumba is very strong: the composition is noticeable not only to the wearer but also to those around them.
The eau de parfum can remain rich and long-lasting, so it is best to adjust the dosage gradually, taking the temperature, the size of the space and your personal sensitivity to spicy notes into account.
Specific recommendations for the number of sprays on skin and clothing are not provided in the database.
A practical way to get acquainted with the fragrance is to apply one spray to the skin and assess its intensity after 15–20 minutes; on fabric, the scent usually lasts longer, so it should be applied especially sparingly.
If you enjoy spicy, warm and rich compositions, take a look at Gucci Envy for Men, as well as Molinard Ambre and Dior Sauvage Parfum.
They do not literally replicate Sunset in Sumba, but may appeal to those interested in a similar amber-spicy profile, pronounced sillage and a masculine-unisex mood.
The fragrance is very long-lasting, staying on the skin for 12 hours or more, gradually revealing its notes
The scent will linger in the air even after its wearer has left.
The perfume has a rich aroma that will help you stand out from the crowd and create a memorable image
A rich and elegant fragrance that gently unfolds on the skin and lasts most of the day, leaving a delicate trail
Perfumes for the fall and winter seasons often contain notes of vanilla, spices, ambergris, wood, and other warm accords, creating a feeling of comfort and warmth during the cold months
The top notes open with a combination of cardamom, elemi, mandarin and red apple. The opening is simultaneously spicy, fresh and slightly fruity, with a bright, sparkling character.
The heart of the composition features clove, incense and lavender, adding spicy dryness, resinous depth and a green nuance to the fragrance.
The base is built around patchouli and vanilla, making the finish warmer, softer and more enveloping.
The full list of notes includes cardamom, clove, elemi, incense, lavender, mandarin, patchouli, vanilla and red apple.
As a result, Sunset in Sumba transitions from a bright spicy-citrusy opening to a rich oriental trail with a woody-gourmand facet.
