About this deal

It has a skanky aspect, especially midday when I touch my neck and smell my fingers I smell something very ripe and animalic. These are different but Sun has some similarities to Esprit d'Oscar, both being iris-vanilla forward scents. I could never tell what the notes are in this one, it`s just warm and cozy and perfect for all year round.

There's something my mind interprets here as a breeze on a warm-ish day, I am not exactly sure what. Initially a citrus mouthful induces us to this summer adventure, which is then combined with floral sparkles full of joy, to end with a background full of warmth and creaminess.In the opening, this is Jil Sander Simply sprayed on hair and clothes while putting sunscreen on your skin. Starts fruity and bubblegum like, takes a creamy and uniquely bizarre floral twist as it dries down, has a strange smokey (the tobacco leaf? Now, 2019, I suddenly remembered the ads in fashion magazines when I was eleven years old which made me long for summer, sunny weather, glowing skin, shorts, summer dresses, hot summer nights and dinners with my girlfriends. The base is warm and sweet due to vanilla, while tonka, cedar and benzoin also lend their warm character to the composition.

It's quite rich and a bit cloying; an African orange blossom/vanilla amber, sweet but inedible, with a subtle medicinal note underneath. If you experienced summers in the 90s this is clearly a summery scent and it does smell like sun tan lotion. Despite the name this fragrance does not evoke feelings of the beach, summer, or even the sun itself. This is a story about a resinous benzoin enchanted with some kind of floral magic laying on top of a bit cozy blend of ambery vanilla and tonka. As I don’t want my sun tan lotion to overpower the fragrance, I choose one that is hardly noticible.I also get a hint of haven in here, witch to me evokes pics of glowing yellow fields in summer and picnics in the country side.

It fits right in next to my other powders, bridging the seasonal gap between LouLou, Kenzo Flower, and Curve Crush. It was my first perfume, which I was gifted as a child, and it brings fond memories of spritzing it in the places I lived.

Sun by Jil Sander is more my cup of tea, a suntanlotion type of scent without the typical coconut ingredient.
