Navitus Parfums Cabana Sunset by Olya Bar
As summer slowly draws to a close, there’s still time to savor those fleeting moments of warmth, perhaps with a luscious fruit cocktail in hand, sitting by the beach, watching the sun dip below the horizon. And while I’m not one to dictate that certain fragrances should be reserved for specific seasons, there’s no denying that juicy, fruit-centric perfumes hit differently in the heat of summer. Navitus Parfums Cabana Sunset is a perfect example—a mouthwatering composition that captures the essence of summer’s sweetest moments, lingering long after the sun has set.

Navitus Parfums Cabana Sunset, under the creative direction of Paulina Schar, Master Perfumer Bertrand Duchaufour (read Michelyn’s interview here) has composed the olfactive equivalent of a basket full of summer fruits, evoking memories of carefree days and sultry nights. The starring notes of this fragrance are lychee and strawberry jam. Lychee has seen a surge in popularity lately, and for good reason. Its watery, sweet, and tropical scent profile is utterly addictive, and it brings a refreshing, almost effervescent quality to the fragrance, much like the initial burst of flavor when you take the first bite of a perfectly ripe peach.

But what I love about Cabana Sunset is how it reminds me of a dessert that has become my obsession. There’s a local brunch spot near my home where I often escape for a hearty meal, and their seasonal peach cobbler is a dish I find impossible to resist. It’s a warm, juicy peach cobbler, its golden crust barely holding in the bubbling fruit beneath, served drowned in a rich strawberry jam, with a generous scoop of vanilla ice cream melting slowly on the side. It’s the kind of dessert that makes your mouth water before it even reaches the table.

The strawberry jam accord in Cabana Sunset is rich and indulgent, adding depth to the fragrance, much like how the jam elevates the peach cobbler from a simple dish to a decadent treat. It’s a robust, full-bodied scent that lingers, making each spritz feel like a spoonful of dessert. And then, there’s the vanilla. Just as the vanilla ice cream in the peach cobbler adds a creamy, soothing element that ties everything together, the vanilla in Cabana Sunset provides a warm, comforting base, making it the anchor of the fragrance.
Navitus Parfums Cabana Sunset is refreshing and hedonistic, like the perfect summer dessert. It’s a fragrance that you can wear all day, from brunch at your favorite spot to a sunset stroll on the beach, and it will carry you through every moment with its captivating blend of fruits and vanilla. It smells of the simple pleasures of summer—those fleeting moments of indulgence that we hold onto as the season begins to fade.
Notes: Lychee, peach, strawberry jam, Madagascan vanilla, vanilla custard accord, green apple granita.
