👃 What Does It Smell Like?

The scent opens with fresh citrus and green notes — bright, uplifting, and full of energy. You immediately notice the lemon and orange, but it’s the green galbanum and hyacinth that give the opening its classic edge.

Then comes the floral heart, rich and elegant. Jasmine, lily of the valley, rose, and iris unfold in a beautifully blended bouquet. This stage is bold and deeply feminine — a true white floral with vintage character.

As it dries down, Sung reveals its warm and powdery base. The oakmoss and sandalwood provide a woody softness, while the musk, amber, and vanilla wrap it all in a gentle, lingering glow. The result? A fragrance that evolves smoothly from fresh and green to soft and romantic.
