All the ones we have (Nivea, Garnier etc.) all smell absolutely vile - the kids hate putting them on, and I don’t blame them.
Are there any UPF50 ones that have no/little smell?

I like the Lidl factor 50 spray one. I couldn't say it's unscented but it's not a stong smell, and it goes on clear and dries quickly. It was the sliminess of suncream I hated as a child.

We all use the Aldi factor 50 spray

Altruist is very good.

I swear they make the smell stronger every year, can’t deal with it.

Altruist - smells of nothing and non greasy which is another bug bear of mine as I can’t stand feeling sticky.

@cloudjumper another vote for Altruist. As well as being fragrance-free I like that they do a 100ml tube that can go in your hand-luggage on a flight: https://www.sainsburys.co.uk/gol-ui/product/altruist-dermatologist-sunscreen-spf-50-ppd-52-100ml
