Perfume that smells like suntan lotion/beach?

Does anyone have a recommendation for the above?

I've just used up a body mist (Zoe Botanic'eau) which smelt just like hot skin, suntan lotion - that lovely on the beach smell. Amazing! But not particularly long lasting and now it's out of production It wasn't expensive. I should have bought shed loads of bottles!

I'm wondering if any of you can recommend a perfume that genuinely smells like this?

Yes nivea make their own, if you put nivea sun eau de toilette into amazon. Its about £25 a bottle.

I’m sure Nivea have just brought one out!

Maison marguila’s beach walk. You can often get it as a sample from feel unique.

InsaneInTheViralMembrane you know i've got a vague memory of having a sniff of that one. I'll look at the packaging and see if it's the one i remember.

Nuxe do a summer version of their perfume and that reminds me of sunshine

Rosehipbrandy · 30/06/2020 19:43

Nuxe Prodigieux is summer in a bottle. It smells like expensive sun lotion!

The reviews for Nivea sun on amazon are really good. But they don't seem to have any for sale right now. Neither does the boots website.

I'll have a look at superdrug.

NUXE! I have the huile prodigieuse skin oil. That smells amazing. I use that after a shower in the evening. I didn't know they did a summer perfume!

Try the "So" body mist range. They sell it in Tesco and Superdrug etc.

Estee Lauder Bronze Goddess Eau Fraiche Skinscent. Must specially be the Eau Fraiche Skinscent version (there's a few).
