The Harmonist Sun Force Parfum
Description
Sun Force is bright pomelo and saffron over honeyed cardamom, incense and sandalwood. The Harmonist was founded in 2013 by Lola Tillyaeva and built around Feng Shui's five elements, each fragrance composed with master perfumer Guillaume Flavigny. Sun Force is a Yang fragrance, and the house describes it as vibrant, powerful and active, a scent meant to energize the person wearing it. Hawaiian pomelo, Bulgarian rose oil and saffron open it with a sunny, spiced glow. Cardamom, incense and organic honey warm the heart, and the base is sandalwood, organic benzoin and musk.

Performance
Longevity: Long. At Parfum strength, plan on 8 hours or more, with honey, benzoin and sandalwood lasting longest.
Sillage: Moderate to strong in the first hours.
Projection: 2 to 3 feet early on, then it settles to arm's length.
An honest note: independent wear reports are still limited, so treat these figures as a guide. Honey and saffron can read sweeter on some skin.
