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?

I use Fragrantica to research my scents, they may give you some comparisons based on the scents notes. They also provide links on where to buy.

Definitely the Estee Lauder one, bronze goddess. It just smells like summer. The next one is a good dupe for a really reasonable price.

Avon do a body spray which is the scent of summer holidays to me - can't think what it's called but it comes in a turquoise bottle - it's less than £5.

Samster45 · 30/06/2020 22:35

Any of the escada ones. They smell like cocktails to me and I’m straight back on holiday aged 18 on the beach whenever I smell them.

I was going to say the Avon one too...its called Tahitian Holiday and has good reviews.

I've got the Hawiian Tropic. Its gorgeous 😍

FrankUnderwoodsWife · 30/06/2020 22:38

Bobby Brown Beach literally smells like summer in a bottle. I think it costs around £50?

First you can shower in Nivea's Love Sunshine. It has their original sun lotion scent.

I have Hawaiian Tropic Golden Paradise Fragrance Mist. Warm sand and creamy coconut scent.
It's very summery.

I did not get to Debenhams or M&S today. Boring life got in the way.

The list of things i have to look for/sniff when i do get there is fantastic now! Grin

Bobbi brown beach or the new limited edition Estée Lauder Bronze Goddess Azure.....

Maybe not exactly beach, but summer and holidays, have a look at Funny by Moschino, not expensive

therealkittyfane · 01/07/2020 18:34

I love the sound of the nivea one!

Came on to say Nuxe but if you've got cash to splash the Tom Ford soleil blanc is unbeatable for that summer smell

cloud1183 · 01/07/2020 19:38

Juliette Has A Gun- Vanilla Vibes would be perfect

LadyEloise · 01/07/2020 20:04

JustJack do a dupe of Tom Ford's Soleil Blanc.

NewCatMummy · 01/07/2020 20:09

Bronze goddess and virgin island water!

SisterVanHelsing · 01/07/2020 20:14

Not sure you can spray samples on in store at the moment - all the sample bottles were missing when I went to Debenhams the other day.

But I'm seconding Bronze Goddess, which I'm wearing right now in the hope it'll convince me I'm watching the sunset from underneath a beach umbrella with a plate of tapas and a jug of sangria.

tomhardyfan · 01/07/2020 20:15

Another vote here for nuxe

I love it 😍

OutComeTheWolves · 01/07/2020 20:29

4160 Tuesdays- what I did on my holidays. It's lush.

missingmum · 01/07/2020 20:37

Next summer sun is almost identical to bronze goddess and much cheaper, I've had many compliments when wearing it.

toomanyplants · 01/07/2020 20:40

@Samster45 I buy myself escada every summer!! Sunshine in a bottle!

jay55 · 01/07/2020 20:46

I love Sol's Brazilian crush hair and body mist, makes me feel like I'm on holiday.

LadyEloise · 03/07/2020 11:32

Hawaiian Tropic Golden Paradise fragrance mist and Creed Virgin Island Water are pretty similar.
