Sun by Jil Sander

For: women Designer: Jil Sander Olfactive Group: Floral Fruity

This sunny fragrance was created in 1989. Citrussy top notes are just like the bright sunshine rays, sunny and fresh, composed of sweet orange blossom. The floral heart is an unusual bouquet of iris, ylang-ylang, heliotrope and carnation. The base is warm and sweet due to vanilla, while tonka, cedar and benzoin also lend their warm character to the composition.

Yuck! This perfume smells like rotting orange peel. Tell the truth about him! Superlatives and so on what basis?

i love ´Sun´ totally and it´s of course one of my favorite scents with it´s warm attitude reminding me of the days on the beach with tanning oil :)

And now i am much more happier because today i bought a magnum size of the sun which is 250 ml :) huge happiness

Upon first spritz I politely shoved my wrist under my hirsute man's nose & waited for his thoughts. "Urinal cakes." Well, sod him....I like this perfume & so I will wear my urinal cake with a sunshine grin.

In truth, I understand how his lavatorial link was made....the first 10 mins are a strange fake citrus-mix, underpinned by a faintly warm orange-blossom/vanilla. It is more than a little loo-like...although I feel it resembles a posh vanilla toilet air freshner at this stage, not some scummy public pissoire.

A wee while later (excuse the pun) & all that is a distant memory. My wrist smells delightful: heady, sensuous, creamy, warm & gloriously golden. I am not overwhelmed by any particular note - the effect here is of a lazy, hazy sweetness wrapped around a cozy vanilla base....some flowers, some fruits....but the sun has blurred their outline & renders them unrecognisable.

I mistakenly believed this would be a delicate fragrance but it has some substance & a sillage that graces the air around me as I move. Quite thick, quite heady.

Sweeter than I am normally comfortable with....but something keeps drawing me in to sniff closer....& then I smile. It really is a happy, uncomplicated scent. A nice ray of simple sunshine in this cold winter.

I like this fragrance, but I must say that everytime I wear it I feel much older :(
I think it's more suitable for older woman...

It was my first fragrance ever. I was 12 years old and loved it so much.

Now, I hate it. Every second woman wear it. It´s too overpowering especially for summer - it kills me.

Sorry to all fans!

Great smell like sun lotion, but on my skin doesn't last that long.

Oh my, it smels so heavenly! Soft but strong, sweet in a creamy way, it is simply amazing! It envelopes you in a cuddly aroma. But it is so hard to find here! Why, oh why!

Sun.. Hmm..In my opinion it has nothing to do with sun except from the fact that it smells pretty much like a sun lotion!.. This was my first unsniffed purchase and though sometimes I enjoy wearing it, I'm pretty sure that I won't buy it again..
It has an interesting unique smeel but it also has some strong disturbing notes to my nose, it cant be easily specified because it's not that the fact that it smells bad, on the contrary.. but still there are some unnatural notes that sun lotions also carry..

Sun Sun Sun.This one was my signature for a long time i had three bottles of it.I'm so surprised, to see that it's floral fruity,because it don't smell much fruity notes.Jil Sander Sun is a unique fragrance and it have the typical Jil sander look.It's very hard to discribe the smell.
It's creamy and fresh,powdery and floral,and only a bit fruity the bottle and the name fits perfect to this scent it's definitive a summer fragrance but i also worn it on the colder day's.Sun is also a very clean and soft fragrance,i loved it but smelled it to often many womans wear this one,and i don't want to buy a fourth bottle, but this is a great fragrance,i had good moments with wearing this.

I'm reviewing the sun fragrance mist, which is very similar but you have to give this a chance. It does leave a weird film on my skin which I don't like but after spraying it takes it about 10 minutes to develop into the heavenly scent. It actually reminds me alot of Revlon Ciara... never thought that before but again this is not the edt its alcohol free fragrance mist. I like it..

A great scent! A summmer's classic! And yes it smells 100% of summer in a bottle. No one can create a better summer scent in my view. Particularly suitable for blond types.

I love this fragrance! It starts out kind of citrussy but then it dries out to this warm sweetish flowery scent with a touch of vanilla. Great for summer but I also wear it in winter.
Staying power is good, one application lasts me all day.

Great great great scent! Today's summer scents are watered down, they are too much fruity or have too much marine notes.. This is not like that, hard to describe but you still feel like you are in lovely summer night.. or at the beach.. Everybody who smell it on me said that I smell like I layered myself with sun lotion, which is not bad.. I feel happy when I have this on.. Perfect staying power.

A true summer fragrance :-)! I used to wear this during holidays when I was much younger. I think it has quite sweet, fresh yet warm notes in it. I received compliments wearing it, all the time! Would not wear it anymore though, find it a bit too heavy to my nose nowadays........
