The word Sunset is a phrase written with a circumflex accent in the first term, with the words separated without a hyphen.
Confusion often arises from the use of the hyphen, since before the New Orthographic Agreement (2009) this term was written with it: sunset.
A synonym for sunset is the word west, which likewise means the time when the sun disappears over the horizon.
in short:
- sunset - right

The New Spelling Agreement
The circumflex accent in the phrase “pôr do sol” remained with the new Orthographic Reform to differentiate from the verb “por”, since the two words are pronounced in the same way. It is worth remembering that the “pôr” in the phrase “pôr do sol” is not a verb, since the word plays the role of a noun.
Some examples of phrases that also lost their hyphen with the New Orthographic Agreement were: day-to-day, weekend, dining room, guard dog, café au lait, etc.
