Sun Woman by Jil Sander 75ml Eau de Toilette Spray

Product Information

With it, we are able to feel the sun's rays resting on our skin and even the touch of sand under our bare feet. I had great hopes for Sun, and when I tried it, I really liked it, and still do, and I'll spray it with abandon this summer.

I bought it for the first time few years ago, it was just too cheap to pass, and became addicted myself. I get a major essence of a rootbeer float with vanilla ice cream, which lasts almost throughout wearing.For those who are familiar with Dessange hair products, it smells exactely like their yellow Nutri-Etrême range.

I don't like cloying fruitchoulies like La Vie Est Belle, Lady Million or Black Opium at all, and the sweetness of this perfume is right at the limit of my sugar tolerance, so keep that in mind if that's not your cup of tea. Every once in a while I can smell suntan lotion in the drydown but I have to suffer to get to that point. This starts very spicy on my skin, I can detect something like cinnamon, vanilla, and a bit of musk.Now, close to 30 years later, its almost headache inducing juicy-fruit quality gives me a true teenage summer party vibe that I can't really relate to (any more). After an initial nose-harassing sharp note (I'm thinking it must be the lime, which makes me go "Eooow" every time), it's settled, after 15-30 minutes, into a precise heliotrope-vanilla blend. They have orris root in common but I doubt is that because it's like an animalic note that bothers me. Much like Prada L'eau Ambree (another unique and amazing scent) but it doesn't smell like the Prada, it just has the same sort of feel.
