Sun Men

I’m addicted to this. I don’t use it on myself but I love love love it on others. It’s the sexiest “men’s fragrance” to me, that is also light and sweet enough to pass as unisex. Actually one of the most ideal unisex smells, imo. If you look at the price tag it’s quite ironic that this cheap-y is actually way better than vast majority of high-end perfumes, when it comes to smell, silage and longevity. If you’re a guy, who’s young, athletic but also creative, this could be for you. If you’re a woman, tomboy, androgynous (or non-binary) , check this out! This could be for you, too. I actually smelled it on a woman first, and thought it was something niche and overpriced. She had a great look and personality, a hot tomboy. This fragrance elevated her even more. I couldn’t stop sniffing her neck! We would talk for 5 minutes and make out for hours and hours and hours. She gave me the bottle as a parting gift and one of her tops. I would spray this fragrance on every night, and cry myself to sleep.

smells clean, fresh, powdery, smooth and creamy, slightly sweet, not cloying a bit, very very good for summer. You would get a ton of compliments if it was a good performer, but unfortunately it isnt, its very inoffensive, short lived fragrance good for the summer ocassions where you dont want to smell loud and wont be there for a long time, great for gym or work. It lasts about 4 hours at best for me, i have dry skin so for you it might last more, projection is moderate for first hour then it becomes skin scent. It really isnt a performer, but if it was it would be best fresh scent oat. Opens citrusy and there is cardamom, but not too much citrusy, and dries into beautiful sandal wood musky nutmegy scent, with traces of cardamom. Smells like you are on the beach smearing sunscreen over your body and sea waves are splashing your feet. Its so cozy and reminds me of childhood vecations with my parents. Would recommend it, for the price its good, just dont expect some massive performer.

Very nice scent! Got this as a birthday present bought on an airport. Nice spring summer scent and I even think I could get away with it in the early autumn. Not sweet at all pleasantly spicy on me. Mostly rosemary and in a good blend with nutmeg. Someone below mentioned the 90th and I can in some way agree but in this case it is the better part of the 90th. I can't sense any cardamom or sandalwood but there was a hint of citrus at the start but it blended in to the spices quite fast. 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 9.30 pm. Lucky me!

I really enjoy this one. Personally I use this as my summer fragrance, but this can be used as an all year fragrance aswell. It is something unique, but basic. I was not a fan of it when I got it last year. But for this year's summer I started wearing it and I got a lot of compliments. I was amazed at how long it lasts on my skin (around 6 hours, even on very hot days). What took me by surprise even more, is that it popped of my skin very well. People in a 2 meter radius could scent it around 2 hours after spraying it. Overall, it's a very pleasant scent, and a perfect gift for someone, making it a good summer blind buy.

This is very classy. The notes are minimalistic but it really smells like summer. Easy, non-offensive, simple, and safe. You could get it for around $20, and this combined with the safe DNA is what makes this basic fragrance so good. There is little competition in this price range, so Sun Men stands out. Although the sillage is average, the longevity is on the weak side, which is expected for such fragrances, especially at this price point, but still a bit disappointing, so carrying a small decant is a must. But besides that, I could easily recommend it for someone who is looking for the cheapest safe deal.

Tried this. Compared to Bvlgary Aqva Marine and smell wise, they are close, same fresh oceanic vibe. But Aqua Marine lasts way less than this. This has a beautiful bergamot note, that is mostly linear from start to finish, mixed with some sandalwood at the end but it keeps going and going. It is so easy to wear, so summery, so non offensive. The first thing I thought was... this is what I would love to smell in a hot summer day in the bus, at work, in the city, crowds... Beats Aqua Marine for me. Smells a bit better and lasts a whole lot longer!

My to-go summer perfume by the beach as a woman who loves to play volley or any type of sport on sand with friends. It's fresh, with a nice citrus outcome, but in the same time, it has the confidence of a men's fragrance. Because it is on the fresh, natural side, the longevity is not the best, but it does the job done in the hot summer days. And I find not so sweet like the perfumes for women from Jil Sander, they are too choking for me. Definitely my favorite, on the budget perfume for summer.

Summers where I live are very hot and humid, and THIS cuts through the heat and moisture to actually leave an impression of freshness and energy! Longevity is about 3 hours when it then becomes purely a skin scent. For the price, you really can't go wrong! I definitely get the tart aromatic citrus, on a base of white musk. If it's not HOT when you wear this, I can see it being almost too fresh! This is a great every day summer freshie with decent performance for the price.

Just purchased a 2.5mL bottle from beautyspin.com. I cannot wait for this to come. I remember purchasing this scent about 12 years ago from Sephora, and I loved the way it smelled. I'll never forget one night I put this on and was hanging with my sister at my boys house. He had the fan blowing and it just so happens that I was sitting in front of the fan. My sister says "What the hell is that smelling so good?" Turns out, it was me. HaHa!!!

Very nice! So different than other fresh summer scents. It's citrus orange and spicy woods. It's not bright like the name would imply, it's a little orange and fizzy but spicy and woodsy. Reminds of the decade it was made. Not comparable to anything in mind, worth finding online and trying. I will be using this a lot. I also spray heavy because it seems to perform fairly well that way in the heat. Bottle is simple and pretty. Nice looking.

What a wonderful scent. I go to school in Houston and let me tell you this place is a hot and humid mess. This fragrance meshes so well with this climate. I am no expert in fragrance notes but I can tell you that it gives me the vibe of a sexy and fresh sunscreen. Imagine a model laying by the pool side after a swim basking in the sun after applying some fancy sunscreen. That is the image that this fragrance evokes for me.

This is so good and fresh. Smells like an orange grove. Sits close to the skin and doesn't project much. Lasts about hours. Probably best suited for the summer, but I like wearing it throughout the year as a pick-me-up when I'm in the mood for something fresh and fun, especially during the bleak winter months when sunshine is in short supply. I like layering this with Nebras. Hard to beat for $20!

Lasts 7-8 hours on skin and days on clothes. Sillage is moderate, which is ok, because if it were to be stronger it could cause nausea to some people. Beautifully blended, gets you a lot of compliments, ladies and girls of all ages seem to like it. It is a positive, optimistic scent, not groundbreaking but like a good dependable friend that sticks with you and tries to cheer you up.

Summer in a bottle. I first wore this on the Aegean Coast of Turkey, at my beach house, and every time I smell it, I'm transported back to when I did. It's sun, sun, and more sun. Unfortunately, my ex also loves this on me, and I did wear it a lot with her, so... this reminds me of her as well. So yeah, sun, summer, love story cut short, and innocence in a bottle for me.

Recommended to me by a friend Batch number H8 03627091133. Creamy, sweet and spicy!... Quite an unusual scent, for me a massive thumbs up... I just wish it lasted and projected more... I hope it performs better in the heat as I only wore it in the winter so far Summery Sporty Sensual Love it Perfume 10/10 Performance 2/10 EDIT: Compliment received at work 16-03-19

This is what I mainly use during summer. It is fresh, classy and elegent. Projection is soft/moderate so it won't bother anyone but will still make you noticable during the 3h period since you started to use the parfume. Lasting though could be better. It won't stand more than 4-5h so wearing it all day was not possible for me. Quite orange and somewhat spicy!

This fragrance is a wonderfully fresh scent that is definitely a little bit unisex. It's a very clean smell but the powdery aspect gives me a more feminine impression at times. However, this is not off-putting in the slightest; I think this makes the fragrance perfect for a Summer evening date or morning sunrise-very inoffensive, clean but not brash.

Several people are complaining about the complexity and forgetting that simplicity can be attractive. I'm a woman and I think this scent is one of the sexiest summer men’s fragrances ever because it doesn't assault my nose with harsh leather or tobacco notes. It smells fresh, safe, subtle and the correct reaction is "mmm, nice."

Açıkcası yoğun sıcak ve nemli havlarda fena değil başlangıçta naranciye baskın 15 20 dakika sonra baharatlı ama temiz bir kokuya bürünüyor 1 saat sonra kremsi pudralı ve temiz hissettiriyor kalıcılığı 4 5 saat rahat görüyor fiyatına göre gayet yeterli ve özgün bir klasik

A great underrated summer fragrance with a brilliant olfactive recipe, based on low performances, but this doesn't matter so much when the smell of this is sooo sooo good! Smells like the sand burned by the sun on a tropical beach! A great typical summer concoction.

A very special scent that you will understand after using it that it has not become a classic for nothing. A stylish, comfortable summer perfume that all ages will love. It entered my collection, and as soon as I finished it, I immediately bought a new one.

Sexy sun creamy woody perfume. One of the best for beach and summer holidays. Very soft but not in a feminine way. Sillage and longevity medium to low unfortunately. Still banger anyways. 8.5/10 (would be 10 if sillage and longevity were high)

Yaz için oldukça uygun, üzerinizde durdukça biraz bisküvimsi hava bırakan güzel bir koku. İçeriğindeki kaküle ve bergamot açılışta bana biraz YSL La Nuit de L'homme'u hatırlatsa da ilerleyen saatlerde daha tatlı bir kokuya dönüşüyor.

This is an absolutely amazing scent. It reminds me of a warm summer morning sitting on the beach watching the sun rise and looking out on a beautiful orange sky. I really recommend this if you like fresh scents.

So happy to have this again. Wore this for a summer when I was younger and had forgotten how nice it is. Truly a summer scent, for warm and hot days only and unique to anywhere outside of Europe.

Jil Sander Sun is literally bottled fun in the sun. Very sunny, fruity, slightly sweet, young, uplifting and vibrant. A perfect summer fragrance for a young and urban man.

It smells like warm skin after a day at the beach, but with a refined, soapy edge that keeps you feeling fresh even when the air is thick.

Nothing special, you can wear to the gym or basic daily activities. Lasts about 4-5 hour and projects about 45 min-1 hour.

I’m obsessed with this smell. It’s my husband’s, but I totally steal a few sprays sometimes, it’s just that so good!

Very distinctive smell...fresh but classy too. I always get asked what the fragrance is whenever i wear it.

Such a classic! This is how a happy summer smells! So sad longetivity and sillage are below average.

I like it! nice scent for a nice summer; It smells like a sunny day on the beach. weak longevity.

First impressions on my new 125ml bottle; Cool frosted glass and bright orange cap so will this be an icy fresh citrus fragrance? Not quite. It's not going to give you that icy fresh blast needed on the hottest days but it's certainly most suited to the warmer seasons. With it's soft spicy twists Sun Men is a little different from the many 'summer' scents I've tried thus far. 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. The scent soon dies down to become a paradoxically familiar (some would say the G-word - generic) yet somehow unique fresh spicy aromatic. 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. This wouldn't appeal to those seeking natural cologne type scents but someone looking for a unisex, modern (synthetic) casual fragrance with a relaxed, feel-good vibe and uniquely alluring spicy accord should check it out. I get the feeling Sun Men may suit summer evenings or warm overcast days better than the intense high heat (French summer). Update: Four days since spraying twice on my sleeve it is still very noticeable without having to put my nose right on it, so it works remarkably well on clothing for a 'fresh' fragrance. Second update; this stuff lasts forever on clothing!

I had to write a review cause this one isn't getting enough love. This fragrance is the ultimate sunny weather fragrance for people who don't like obnoxious in your face type scents. I think not everything needs to be complex. it literally smells like you've been on the beach sunbathing and you got home and smell this on your shirt. It opens with a lovely fresh citrus blast which is pretty common and fools you into thinking it'll be boring but just wait. As it dries down and begins to mingle with your skin it transforms from a fresh citrus perfume into a softer sun lotion type scent that starts to hug closer and smells delicious and creamy like maybe a sun lotion would. This is one that I see myself reach for on days where I want to smell good in summer but not like I'm wearing a ton of perfume. It's very comforting and feels very natural in a way. I can see this working for a woman that likes mens colognes but doesn't want to smell like a man per se too, if that makes sense. It has a very vague boyfriends pillow vibe to it rather then screaming MAN. Overall I find this a very soft and very elegant fragrance for what it is. It didn't break the bank either. I'm glad to have this for my spring/summer collection and I think you might too if you like the sound of this.

For an experienced nose, Sun Men is nothing all that special. Actually, its quite simple and slightly generic. 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. You know, that musky light airy type. If I had of had the chance to sample it before hand then I probably wouldn't have bought it. It smells to similar to individuel or presence by mont blanc with slight hints of forever by moschino. Now, with all of this complaining out of my system, this is a great fragrance. It is light and inviting while maintaining a slight masculine air. It has a nice clean quality that is never overwhelming which makes this a PERFECT fragrance for spring and summer. The cardamon and nutmeg give it that extra depth that it desperately needed, and gives it a slightly unique quality. Do I recommend Sun Men? Yes, I undoubtedly do! Of course, that is only if you don't have fragrances with similar qualities and rundowns. But, Sun Men just doesn't reach the level of the fragrances I mentioned earlier. I recommend those over this one. My opinion: 8.5/10 Light, inviting, never cloying, and perfect for summer

Bought this as part of blind haul and was mildly impressed. Just like the female version of Sun this evokes a strong beach association with me, though the scent isn't your typical citrussy, marine freshy. Instead it projects images of a summer afternoon after a hot day at the beach. The mix of sweet sunscreen, sand, dried seawater, a little bit of BO (not unpleasant though) and the sensation of the burning sun are encapsulated neatly into one sensory package. As stated by many the performance is extremely weak. Hardly any projection and a 2-3 hour longevity on my skin. So for me this is a scent to take with you and re-apply or mix with other low performers throughput the course of the day. And for the price (<20 Euro for 100 ml) this is a pretty safe blind buy if you're not expecting wonders. Still recommend it though.

Jil Sander Sun.... yes, summer fragrances DO NOT have to smell like a gazillion clones and flankers and extensions of Cool Water and friends pumped up with Calone. There are cold summer fragrances such as Davidoff cool water, airy summer fragrances such as Giorgio Beverly Hills Wings, soft summer fragrances such as Antonio Puig Agua Brava Azul, dry summer fragrances such as John Varvatos Artisan Blue. Jil Sander Sun is the WARM summer fragrance. It smells like a suntan lotion boosted up by nice soft spices. When it came out it had good longevity but the blend is a little weaker nowadays but also less expensive. Walking near the water in La Jolla, Kiama or Westerland in shorts and a linen shirt...it's perfect for that....

Love it. Great summer scent. It was an undiscovered hidden gem for me really. I personally dislike screechy sharp mens scents of which there is many nowadays. and this one is very pleasant on my nose. It's delightfully creamy and soft. I can best compare it by saying it smells like a good expensive sunscreen and stays close to you like one too. The herbs creative this soapy quality that mirrors the chemical smelling properties of a sunscreen. It's a beautifully fresh creamy smell. It also doesn't break the bank and performs well when at it without being overpowering. This is definately one of the safe buys for daily wear for me. It's inoffensive l, clean and elegant, definately a good no frills creation by jil sander!

Reaching for this I find myself singing Pharrell Williams' Happy. I consider it the classic summer scent: crisp, clean, light and airy. Just perfect for the warmest of days. Its popularity endured many years from the time of its launch in 2002, and its prominence at every airport duty free I passed through was like nothing else I can remember. It really was everywhere - virtually ubiquitous. Suitable for all ages. I never tired wearing it. I wore it then, and it remains in my cabinet today. Never been better value than right now either.

It's a bit feminine but I actually like the fragrance, nothing sunny about it, neither is there anything summery. It feels more like an Autumn fragrance to me. Would have made more sense marketed as unisex rather than male but then agin, it's from a German designer so I figure gender fluidity is a thing. If you're a guy who wants to project alpha-masculinity because you are not confident in it in yourself, then avoid this one go get Grey Flannel - lol. If you're a confident man who is certain of his masculinity then, go for it.

Likable, Inexpensive, clean, fresh, summer in a bottle, pleasant, you don't go wrong. Weak performance - typical 'you get what you pay for' Performance: 2-3 hours Sillage: Arms length with quick slow down For whom: Unisex >20 My background: I only write reviews about scents I have worn already (until the bottle is finished or given away) or are in current use. I'm a Gentlemen - middle aged - predominantly in an executive office environment wearing suits and representing with many official gatherings.

It’s a pleasant, budget-friendly, and refreshing summer fragrance. If you plan to be out for an extended period, you’ll need to keep it in your bag for reapplication every couple of hours. It doesn’t offer any surprises—neither in a good nor bad way—considering its price point. Longevity: Around 3–4 hours on my skin. Sillage: 7/10 during the first hour, then it stays close to the skin. Scent/Price Ratio: 9/10. You might be able to find dupes that are better than this scent around same price.

Nice fragrance. Fresh and a bit spicy-sweet. Cardamon is the main note on my husband's skin. It is pleasant and soft. The opening reminded me of Luna Rossa Sport. I don't find it similar to Mandarine and Cardamon from 4711, Sun Men is way more gentle. What more can i say? it is not unique but it is inoffensive and well done. It is ok for the price. Try it if you are looking for a summer scent that is a bit more sensual. Final note: 7/10

I really like the opening of this fragrance.It's strong little citrusy and that bergamot , I'm in love with that the dry down is very similar to mont blanc legend night. I'm currently testing the longevity of this fragrance but after 5 hours it sits close to the skin.I believe in the summer time it would be grate and can be very safe for the summer night dates not to over powered but powdery sweet and really easy to like

Fresh and dynamic summer scent with moderate sillage and excellent longevity. Great for everyday use, as it's not as expensive as other designer fragrances. 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.)

Orange Creamsicle pure and simple. I can see how some might consider this scent too much in super-high heat but the summers where I live are fairly mild, so for me it's perfect. Lots of creamy citrus and a touch of fresh spice over a light woody base. I agree that it isn't the longest lasting fragrance out there, but it's super cheap at $30 for 4.2 oz... so spray away and enjoy!

A well blended lime/bergamot and mild cardamom/cinnamon combination. It’s a fresh yet slightly warm and masculine opening. It stays herbal/spicy for a while. Not groundbreaking but the quality and execution are there. Easy to wear, most suitable for autumn/spring/winter. Unlike other reviewers, I don’t think this is a summer fragrance but I guess if it says Sun it has to be lol.

I just finished my bottle of sun. It was my signature scent for the last two summers. I wore it so hard every day and collected a lot of good memories. I enjoyed it, but I won’t repurchase. I let it go. It smells very fizzy, orange candy like, lemony, watery and very fresh. The drydown also has a powdery sweetness. It showed a different face every time I wore it.

adı üstünde yaz parfümü, kremsi, ne koktuğunu algılayamadığım sentetik hissettiren bi koku. yanlışlıkla aldım uykuluydum hııı iyimiş dedim aldım pişman mıyım çok da değil. gün içinde ilçeden çıkmayacaksam sabah işlerim varsa kullanıyorum öbür türlü herhangi bir datede ve önemli buluşmalarda kullanılacak bir parfüm değil. çok sıkınca mide bulantısı kaçınılmaz.

Smells like a high end sunscreen in the best way possible. If you live anywhere coastal, this is a no brainer blind reach. Interesting enough to know it’s a designer fragrance but simple enough to not over think it. Must own year round for anyone within 3 miles of a coastline.
