Beach Bobbi Brown for women

Great job gal,I give it A+ in its criteria

I wouldn't believe it, although the Perfume Shrine told me so (I should have known better than to doubt her):

There is a big cultural gap between Europe and US when it comes to beach fumes. For us Europeans it is ambre, coconut and ylang ylang (mostly Ambre Solaire, but also those good old fashioned coconut oils without sunblock at all, lol, times change), for Americans it is "coppertone".

Coppertone for me has nothing to do with beach, I mean nada, zero, nothing, überhaupt gar nicht. It smells like a generic jasmin-orange blossom combo, which I smelled before, but never liked a bit. Soapy, chemical and very unpleasant. I cannot stand this smell. Actually it reminds me of detergents cleaning ladies used in Spain in the eighties, so I get some holiday memories, but not the right ones.

This is a pity, as I wished for an experience like the US perfumistas have while sniffing "Beach", CB's Beach scent and the others, in which coppertone is mixed in. I am soooo jealous!

I want that, too! Gimme an Ambre Solaire or Delial fume!!!

;)

smells just like sunblock. If anyone likes yankee candles its pretty much identical to the sun&sand scent. Im in love with it so far :)

Beautiful Hawaiian tropic scent, totally 1980s on the beach! Marvellous!

I just got my sample today. I have Jennifer aniston parfume and I am waiting for my sample of CB I hate the beach. Anyway, hand shown so far Jennifer wins on the "beach" scents. Bobbi browns smells like walmarts sunblock spray(which I don't mind seeing I love beach smell) but jennifer has captured something a tad sweeter,less chemically. Less coppertone. But I know that if I had a bottle of this for like 15 bucks I'd wear it. Lol. Just not for the price tag it sells for. Also this would be perfect paired with Victorias secret beach lotion.

Bobbi Brown Beach is an ode to coppertone and sun filled days on the beach. I've had my share of such days, drenched in coppertone, taking lazy dips in the ocean before settling into more sun bathing so this scent has taken me back to those days immediately. (Oh the guilt! I now have to check my moles monthly to detect skin cancer). Anyway, for some reason, it *just* misses the mark to nail it completely. Upon opening, there is a definite citrus note that soon gives way to an overly sweet note (jasmine?) that is definitely present in the coppertone lotion, but what it lacks is enough saltiness in my opinion to call it completely authentic. This sweetness dominates the perfume for the first 30 mins or so, then it starts to fade quickly into barely a skin scent.

It is very similar to CB I Hate Perfume At The Beach 1966 which in my opinion is a better coppertone/beach interpretation due to the more dominant salty note.

I really like this fragrance, clean and fresh - but not in the aquatic manner.
It reminds me of the air by the ocean in the morning, before the crowds swarm the beach. It is a very feminine and comforting scent, however, it does not last very long and one must lean in to catch the scent because it isn't very strong. This does have its advantages, naturally, but I do need a little more umph from a scent. I'm on my third bottle of beach, I won't lie-- I go very heavy handed with this. It mixes very nicely with Balmain's Ivorie.

This does remind me very much of coppertone sunblock. Sunblock smells a bit better to me and this is a little sneezy.

Being a Mediterranean girl and having spent my summers in the greek islands in the 80s and 90s I have to say that this perfume doesn't smell like the beach I used to know:( I'm still looking for something to bring me that memory. I still like it though and have purchased it twice, and think about getting it again. I also found that the new version (square bottle) smells less like jasmine, which was quite overpowering in the previous bottle version. It still smells mostly like jasmine (more than anything else to me) and I almost don't get the sand or sea smell unfortunately:( Also I noticed that whe I wear it in the summer it smells better, as compared to wearing it on a winter cold and windy day (bug spray resemplance) Maybe I should try I hate perfume's beach version and see if I have more luck there!

One of my favorite summer scents - warm, thick, hot yellow sand - reminds me of Miami - South Miami Beach to be exact. Love this juice. Can't wait until I can afford some more.

This is 'Beach' in a Bottle. Nothing cold or Marine, nor even oceanic about it. If you love the beach you will really like this :))

Surprisingly, Bobbi Brown's Beach does actually smell like a day at the beach. To my nose, it's the scent of sunscreen, wet sand and salt air.

A floral aquatic is just about spot-on when describing this fragrance. The jasmine accord is fairly dominate in Beach, particularly in the opening. When the scent first hits the skin, you could be forgiven for thinking that Beach was a light and airy white floral.

The sand accord in Beach is not unlike Dior's Dune for Women. I like both of these fragrances, and much prefer them over and above other beach related scents, ones that resemble the synthetic smell of suntan lotion and cheap, fake tans.

The drydown does have the tendency to smell a little bit like sunscreen, however to my trained nose, I realise that it's only the scent of creamy jasmine blending with the warm sand.

I've only recently moved to a suburb close to the beach, and since Summer is not far away, I'm eager to test Bobbi Brown's Beach in the surroundings that it was intended for. Many reviewers are saying that Beach smells a lot like Coppertone Suntan Lotion. I'm an Australian, so I'm not familiar with that product.

The sillage is fairly soft, however I found the lasting strength reasonably impressive. It lasted a good four hours on my skin. I recommend.

Yeah,yeah! Coppertone suntan oil in perfume!!!
Why not!? I love to smell like i have just come back from a lovely day at the beach,and sun has been captured in my skin leaving me warm and happy,smelling like my suntan oil but clean just out of the shower and not feeling itchy from the salt on my skin after swimming!!!...that's BEACH for me!
(i will add and the appropriate song for this perfume if i am allowed... TEXAS-Summer Son)
For those who looooove summer and those who looooove Coppertone!
It lasts......and lasts...

A very realistic 'sandy' scent,just sand and sea water on my skin. It reminded me of Bourjois Shower Gel Sable Blanc!It doesn't remind me of suntan lotion,it's not sweet or cloying,it smells like warm sand and sea waves!There's a whole line behind this perfume,body lotion,shower gel and body scrub,which accompanies Bobbi's Beach. Warm salty skin and hot sun,that's Bobbi's Beach perfume. Great longevity!!!

I am really wanting a bottle of this, and if anyone has one they do not want, I would be willing to trade, providing I have what you want to trade for. This scent really and truly reminds me of the old Coppertone suntan lotion. Brings back many memories.

This smells nothing like the beaches where I live, on the North Sea coast of England, where the sea is a suspicious shade of browny-grey and no-one sets foot on the beach due to the lack of sand and over abundance of stones and litter.
BUT.....it does smell like a tropical, white sand, clear water holiday type beach. Thank Goodness.
I never really noticed that sand had a smell, but this fragrance definitely reminds of a hot sand, the kind that you can't walk barefoot on as its so hot from the tropical sun. Its salty, sharp and I really like it very much. it was a blind buy (I really should stop doing that!) but a very successful one. Summer is finally looking like its arrived in England and "Beach" is perfect for tricking the mind that I'm in a much nicer place than I am in reality.

This is not a typical perfume. My positive reaction to it is because I love being reminded of the beach. It's taking advantage of my memories to fool me into thinking it's a good perfume.... or maybe it is a good perfume? It is impossible to know for sure.

The scent itself is extremely synthetic which, granted, much sunscreen is. It's a bit strong on the salty and chemical notes, but the overall effect isn't unpleasant.

It's what I'd consider a great novelty perfume and great for when you need a change from the day to day.

First of all, I love how this smells like sunscreen. But there is a slight kick to it. There is a very slight citrus floral in the beginning, then it dries to a warm jasminey sand. It is gorgeous. I cannot wait to spend a hot day outside, wearing this fragrance. It dries down very close to the skin, and I'm hoping that the hot weather will boost the sillage a bit. 'Beach' really does carry out it's namesake. Double thumbs up for me!

I do like this scent, but i find that it can easily smell like sunscreeen to me. I do like it, though...

whoa! holy moly this might be the best beach scent ever, VERY nice and VERY true beach scent. I maybe be adding this to my wish list.

One word for this awesomeness and it is " coppertone"!!!!!

Went with the body oil on this one.... Compared to the EDP the body oil is richer, not to mention moisturizing, and the texture is reminiscent of the original application of the scent, which was "apply while on a warm sunny beach"! This is sand and sun and beachy goodness. There's no other way to translate. I can't imagine wearing this for anything other than warm, sun kissed days of summer....

I bought it today and i love it!!summer in a bottle

I have to agree with those who say, "Coppertone!!!" I am a child of the 70's and 80's and remember the scent very well, having been a regular at our local pool. It has a salty/briny undertone that is subtle enough to be refreshing, and some floral notes (I don't recognize different florals very well; I know what I like but can't elaborate on it). I find the scent nostalgic, essential summer in a bottle, free and warm, definitely not to be worn in any other season because it is SO summery. It would smell out of place in any other season, so since I have other fragrances, why fight it?

This does NOT smell like a beach at all, but rather like wallpaint/cleaner/floral mixup.
The initial impression is waaaaay toooo much!

It slightly mellows to strong jasmin and floor cleaner scent. Utter disaster. Good thing I only purchased a tiny tester.

Coppertone spf lotions from 80's and 90's smell whole lot better than this weird thing called Beach?

If you like this and want a much cheaper version try Suntan by Demeter, it's an exact copy of each other.

WOW! Found this today in the mall.. and well it smells IDENTICLE to Jennifer Aniston's perfume! (which I already own) I cannot belive it! So if you can' tfind this or its too expensive I would go for JA.

This smelled almost bitter to me, nothing like the loveliness of Jennifer Anniston's beachy scent, or the wonderful memories of Coppertone. Is it possible the tester bottle had gone off? I will have to try it again another time...

loved the scent in the bottle. definitely a trip back to childhood on happy beach days...but can't wear it without getting a headache. the jasmine just does me in.. so i take a sniff of the bottle, now and then, when i want a little nostalgia. definitely vintage coppertone.

Got my blind buy bottle of this today. It smells exactly like Coppertone sunscreen. This is nice for when you're feeling nostalgic about childhood days at the beach, mom rubbing you down with sunscreen. A nice casual scent. I'd say it has medium sillage and longevity. It's nice. I might try layering it with coconut lotion for a little different kick.

edit: I went ahead and layered on some Aruba Coconut lotion by Bath & Body Works...it is a divine concoction!

To me (and many others) this smells like Coppertone circa 1974. Happy childhood memories! Beach is a warm, sunny scent that smells deliberately artificial. I think it's an actual attempt to smell just like vintage Coppertone, not "beach flowers" or something like that. We used to call sunscreen "suntan lotion" back then. I usually opted for baby oil, to get the darkest tan of all. My how things have changed! It's wonderful to be reminded of carefree days. Beach also reminds me a bit of Bond No. 9 Fire Island, but Beach is better. I wish it was longer-lasting, but it's not too bad. This is great for overcoming seasonal "blues".

Coppertone! To my nose this was a perfect replication of the famed suntan lotion.

BEACH IS CRAZY GOOD!!!! LOVE IT:) easy to wear, makes me happy!

Perfect frag,brings me happy memories while I was been sunbathing covered with Coppertone suntan oil.

I love this scent. At first, it smells very flowery and synthetic. But the drydown is addictive, it's like a memory to me of summers past on our lake. Unfortunely, Beach does not last long on me.

CB I hate Perfume "At the Beach 1966" is another coppertone smelling scent. The water perfume does not last long on me either but the absolute lasts a bit longer.

Beach is a rip off of Coppertone suntan lotion.

for me was a headache in a bottle .Tooo strong jasmine and made me sick.But if it suits you you are lucky,because is good perfume and long lasting
