After Sun

I’ve been misting myself with After Sun since I first discovered it in Ulta last year. I finally bit the bullet and I am very happy with it. Most testers at Ulta and Sephora have gone bad or something and often what I try on smells different than a fresh bottle. So I now test multiple times from multiple sources before investing in a full bottle. This here smells great. It’s refreshing and green without smelling manly. This conjures ideas of the spa to me. It smells like a more elevated and less sweet version of cucumber melon. Even though I think cucumber melon smells good, I was traumatized by it along with sweet pea in hand sanitizer form in my tween years. After Sun is more akin to the discontinued Dove Ultimate Deodorant in Cucumber Water and Mint, but still smell similar to the regular offerings of Dove Cucumber and Green Tea fragrance. If you like either of those soaps or deodorants, you’ll enjoy After Sun. If you were looking for something closer to Native’s Cucumber Mint, then Noteworthy N,470 Floating Garden is what you should be looking at. It’s a little more masculine leaning, stronger and has a powdery linen hint to it.

One of my new favorites. Got a mist after sampling in store after a very hot day at the beach. Had a tank top on with a sunburn and sand still stuck to my skin, I was the ideal candidate for this: Instant, cooling, refreshment. Similar to how the coolness of aloe Vera gel left in the fridge on a red hot sunburn. There is not much in my Florida man collection that cuts the heat like this boozy, ozonic gem. The folks behind Vacation's scents have created another masterpiece. This is my favorite of theirs and my current go to - $17 for a bottle of body mist that one can stash anywhere for instant clean. It’s honestly yummy and makes me want a sprite, though there is incredibly no citrus here. This really is the scent for them that makes sense. It’s an absolute masterclass on a modern fresh aquatic. Big love and I don’t need to buy any more scents. Won popular fragrance of the year from the Fragrance Foundation. The original was a hard act to follow but this act actually beats out the previous triumph. The Miami identity is too cool for school, the juices are completely legitimate and salud to the 305 baby - daleee 😎

this is one of the best green fragrances i've ever smelled!! so nice and clean, it's like the perfect spa day. the aloe vera and gin really stand out in the best way possible BUT....................... god the projection and longevity suck 😭 especially the projection, you can only smell it if you're sniffing right on wherever you sprayed. the longevity is only around 3 hours for me. if they improved the longevity and projection it'd be perfect, but as it stands is probably something i'll only wear to sleep or lounging at home. def will serve as a pick-me-up when you wanna feel relaxed though!

Unexpectedly loved this! More perfume than functional fragrance overall. Lightly white floral with loads of vintagey "aquatic" notes. 10/10 🤌 Side note: Vacation, After Sun, and Grand Cuvee can be layered to wonderful effect.

I love the simplicity of After Sun. It’s clean and fresh without the zest of citruses. The aloe and tea notes are relaxing and spa-like. Another spring/summer easy reach! Like Vacation I need a bigger bottle!
