Sunplosion by Simone Andreoli: A Summer Day Captured in Scent
Hibiscus is a symbol woven through cultures. In Hawaii and Tahiti, it’s worn behind the ear to signal if a woman is taken or free. In other places, it’s all about beauty, love, even fertility. In perfumery, I find hibiscus fascinating—it often plays a quiet, powerful role as a fixative, helping other notes linger on the skin. Whether derived naturally or synthetically, it adds a delicate touch that holds a fragrance together. Hibiscus perfume? Easy! Simone Andreoli Sunplosion Aloha State Of Mind. Sunplosion is one of those perfumes where hibiscus quietly steals the show without ever being loud about it.
Sunshine Bottled
The first thing I noticed about Sunplosion was the bottle—it’s minimal but completely captivating. The clear glass lets you see the golden liquid inside, which instantly reminded me of sunshine trapped in a bottle. The label reads “Aloha State of Mind” in delicate gold, and that really sets the mood. The black cap is sleek, modern, and contrasts beautifully with the rest. It’s the kind of bottle I want to display on my shelf, not hide away. To me, it feels like a tiny postcard from a tropical escape—elegant, poetic, and filled with wanderlust
Tropical Radiance on My Skin
Sunplosion opens on my skin like a burst of pure summer. There’s this juicy zing of lime and mango that lifts me instantly—fresh, bold, and radiant. Then, guava and coconut water wash in, softened by the creamy touch of hibiscus. The result is lush but airy, like a tropical cocktail sipped at sunset. As it settles, the white sandalwood emerges—smooth, milky, and almost meditative. It doesn’t shout; it hums close to the skin. I wear it on warm days, when I want to feel light, free, and sunny. It lasts around six hours and feels beautifully unisex.
When I wear Sunplosion, I’m not in my city anymore—I’m on a beach at golden hour, with mango juice on my lips and sand between my toes. The scent reminds me of guava smoothies, hibiscus flowers blooming by a surf shack, and the quiet rustle of palm trees in the breeze. It’s playful and relaxed, yet somehow intimate—like a memory of a perfect vacation day. There’s something cinematic about it, like a soft-focus montage of sunsets, ocean sprays, and quiet laughter in the distance. It’s the scent of joy, bottled and ready to relive Simone Andreoli’s Sunplosion truly lives up to its name — it radiates sunshine and emotion. It is not a perfume that attempts to impress with drama, but rather one that wins you over with its warmth and charm. On my skin, it feels like happiness — effortless, golden, and genuine. I believe it is ideal for anyone seeking a fragrance that transports them to a place of relaxation, whether they are by the ocean or simply dreaming of it. For me, it has become a must-have for the summer, a scent I reach for when I want to feel carefree and radiant. Just one spray, and I am halfway to the islands. Choosing a great hibiscus scent means going beyond just "pretty" floral notes. Go for hibiscus absolutes, not just synthetic or EDT blends. This will give you a rich and complex aroma with natural depth. Great hibiscus fragrances combine tart hibiscus tea with creamy vanilla, leather, and rose for a sophisticated and long-lasting scent. Look for contrast - hibiscus paired with unexpected notes like amber, leather, or spice to avoid cloying tropes. Transparency about where things come from: premium houses reveal the origin and how they're made (like Egyptian distillation or vegan certification) - a sign of good craftsmanship.
