Jil Sander Sun Eau de Toilette Vaporisateur Spray for Men 125 ml

Product Information

Unlike other reviewers, I don’t think this is a summer fragrance but I guess if it says Sun it has to be lol. Application effect: Spray on parts like your wrists, neck, behind your ears or even on your chest where the blood runs closest to the surface.

It reminds me of a warm summer morning sitting on the beach watching the sun rise and looking out on a beautiful orange sky. My bottle must be excellent because I sprayed myself around 8 in the morning and I can still get "waffs" of the scent now at 9.

While I do really like this fragrance, I feel that I had plenty of other fragrances in my wardrobe that have the same "type" of sent. So far, from a fairly quick test I've had poor performance on my skin but excellent on clothing (still radiating strongly 12+ hours from my hoodie sleeve), which I guess is good for a warmer season fragrance. It smells not even like summer, it smells like hot summer and beach, or like skiing vacation and sun cream. I can easily picture summer on the beach but also a city or a town on Croatian coast during hot days, evenings too. Sillage is moderate, which is ok, because if it were to be stronger it could cause nausea to some people.

It's ironic that this cheap perfume is actually much better than the vast majority of high-end perfumes when it comes to scent, silage and longevity. Loses it's quality outside of the summer season though, and even within the summer season there are several other fragrances that come out on top (Chanel Allure Sport, Versace Eau Fraîche, Bvlgari Aqua, Green Irish Tweed, etc. The opening is extremely bright and quite strong with a calone note typical of many summer freshies/aquatics, I guess this could be a bit much for some. It's fresh, with a nice citrus outcome, but in the same time, it has the confidence of a men's fragrance.

Accordingly, Sun Men was my "signed fragrance" for a long time, which could have been due to the lack of alternatives on the shelf. It's very strong (unless you bought fake) and should not be over-sprayed unless you enjoy headaches caused by its sickly oversweet intensity. As already enough previous speakers remarked, and which they are also absolutely right: he never really gets off on it, wants you to feel comfortable, like on a beautiful day at the beach (according to Wikipedia Calone is also supposed to be the smell of fresh sea air).
