“Sun by Jill Sander I think that’s what it’s called”

Yes this. I used to wear it and bought it from Amazon for nostalgia purposes. It’s still nice (although sweeter probably than something I would choose now).

New West used to remind me of beaches, early summer mornings and ozone. I wish it was still available Sad

Tom Ford Soleil blanc

Estee hibiscus palm (I think it’s called)

Armani She smells like holidays to me, I don't know why

Christian Dior used to do one called Dune Sun, it was amazing, I would love to get my hands on that again.

Bobbi Brown Beach smells like childhood beach holidays to me.

I love Wazamba (Parfum d'Empire), which smells like sunshine on pine trees.

Lumiere Doree or Missoni Acqua.

Another vote for sun by jilsander...wore it all last week...was living in hope 😂

raspberrysuicide · 02/05/2018 22:30

Island Sunset by Marks and Spencer is a very holiday smelling perfume.

MotherofPearl · 02/05/2018 22:32

Tom Ford Neroli Portofino

FrankUnderwoodsWife · 02/05/2018 22:32

Bobby Brown Beach

Bobbi Brown Beach smells like a cold seaweedy beach to me, Bronze Goddess smells like a hot foreign beach. Avon Tahitian Holiday is recommended as a dupe for Bronze Goddess but although pleasant is nothing like it to me. I favour Hawaiian Tropic tanning oil just for slapping on straight out the shower, or their Golden Paradise body mist.

Aqua di Gio by Armani I’m going to buy some for this summer

ShirleyValentineswall · 02/05/2018 22:37

Another vote for Estée Lauder bronze goddess - EAU de toilette NOT perfume

Yes, not the parfum, it's nothing like the skinscent.

MonaTheMoaner · 02/05/2018 22:38

You cannot get better than Estée Lauder - Bronze Goddess.

Crispbutty · 02/05/2018 22:40

I used to wear hanajuku lovers but it’s really hard to find now. Smells of coconut and is lovely

DaisyChainsForever · 02/05/2018 22:55

Have you tried real monoi oil as well Onynx, it's beautiful stuff. I used it on my hair over the weekend.
