Our Full Review

Sun Drunk is Fussy’s most intoxicating summer scent - a warm, exotic blend that captures the feeling of lazy tropical afternoons.

The Scent Experience

Vanilla provides the warm, sweet foundation - rich and comforting. Ylang ylang adds exotic floral notes with their distinctive, almost narcotic quality. Star anise is the unexpected twist, adding a spiced, slightly licorice undertone that makes this genuinely unique.

Performance

  • Summer wear: Perfect. This captures sunshine in a refill.
  • Holiday vibes: Instant tropical escape
  • Longevity: Warm, sweet notes have excellent staying power

Which Fussy formulation this is

Fussy sells two deodorant formulations. Its FAQ says of bicarbonate of soda: “Our Normal formula does but we use much smaller amounts than others plus a very high grade”, and “We also have a Sensitive formula, which doesn’t contain bicarb.” On Fussy’s ingredients page, Sodium Bicarbonate is listed under the Normal formula only. The Sensitive formula adds Glyceryl Caprylate and Arrowroot Powder, and Fussy says of the first: “Glyceryl Caprylate is from the coconut, and replaces the baking soda used in our regular formula.” Every other highlighted ingredient, Tapioca Starch included, appears on both lists.

This scent is not among the scents Fussy lists in its Sensitive range, so this review describes the Normal formula. Both formulations refill at 40g, so size will not tell them apart. If bicarbonate of soda is what you react to, Fussy’s refill page carries a Normal / Sensitive filter — choose by that rather than by scent name. This review is based on published specifications, not on wear testing.

Final Thoughts

For those who want their deodorant to transport them somewhere warm and exotic, Sun Drunk is pure escapism.
