Versatile and relatively cheap

This fragrance is great for the warmest days of the year. Often times I run into people who wear fragrances that are ill-suited for hot weather and end up choking out everyone around them. Not with Nivea Sun!

One thing to note is that it's an Eau de Toilette. Now, I know not everyone will fancy this but the softness and lightness is actually one of it's biggest strengths and the factor that makes it perfect for hot days. It doesn't matter if it gets humid or is a dry heat, Nivea Sun works. It doesn't overpower, its sillage is quite intimate which I think is very important in hot weather. It doesn't have the best staying power, yet if I get close and sniff my skin I can still smell it 8 hours later. No one else will be able to smell after about 3 or 4 hours of wearing though.

The scent itself does smell like the sun lotion upon spraying. Over time it develops into a little more powdery, yet still sunny scent. No babywipes here! It's a perfect blend of notes as nothing really stands out or takes over the other notes. On top of that, this is the most perfect scent to put on top of sun cream! Sometimes fragrances would turn sour on me when I layered them over suncream, yet this one doesn't.

Pricewise it's not the cheapest fragrance out of the collection in stores, yet it performs well for it's pricepoint. Definitely consider getting Nivea Sun if you're looking for a fragrance fit for those extremely hot days, it that will keep you smelling fresh and goes great with sun cream.

Underrated gem

Bei gott Nivea Sun ist für “junge Leute”(ig) die einfach Sommer fühlen. Es riecht einfach wie Sonnencreme nur irgendwie noch frischer. Der perfekte Duft für den Beach. Würde ich für den Preis jedem empfehlen. Die Haltbarkeit lässt safe zu wünschen übrig kostet aber auch nur 20€ da darf man nicht meckern.

Who's the greased one now, huh?

Oh yes people, it is still summer, and it is sometimes more pleasant, but often hotter than hot, which can spoil the summer, that's the way it is with me. 25 degrees is the most optimum, what there is, but no, the summer means every now and then that one could slam on the 25 degrees times so evenly whole 10-15 degrees more on it.... Yuck yuck!!!

And yes, you don't like it either! Am I right? With the exception of a few brain-brained people who think that the summer really starts at 40 degrees, everyone else will find it quite exhausting when the days are extremely hot (and possibly also humid), so that you sweat at least two liters with every smallest movement and get sticky everywhere. Of course, at the lake or at the sea it is a little less bothering, as one can cool down quickly in the water and thus one even notices that the cool wetness or a shady place under the parasol is much more pleasant than in the brooding and brutal sun. Then one also realizes that Don Juan de Cat was absolutely right and that the heat can be really exhausting, especially if one doesn't have the possibility to go to the lake or to the sea every day.

Ha! So listen to me once in a while. I may often complain and scream here, but every now and then I also spray total wisdom! :D And speaking of spraying: Yes yes, especially in summer you should be less stingy with sun cream and spray yourself best with it, which brings us to my latest comment: Nivea Sun!
(PS: Yes,... at the moment the weather is certainly more pleasant... but as always that's just the calm before the storm, wait and see... soon it boils again!!!)

The fragrance:

The fragrance begins with a great sun cream note that immediately conveys a feeling of sunbathing on the beach. Or at the lake, at least something with water and sun. Well, you can sunbathe in the garden or park or on a meadow, but without water it would be too boring for me. The distinctive level scent is somewhat lower here than in the EDT, because the sun cream note is simply much more intense here. Green notes, which are indicated here, appear in the top note, but only very briefly, so that one soon has to smell more precisely at the sprayed spot in order to perceive the green notes at all.
Flowery notes are better perceived there. For a fraction, the floral notes appear heavy and sultry, briefly reminiscent of flowers like ylang-ylang. But as already mentioned, this is only very short, so that one can soon smell more beautiful, loose and also slightly sweet flowers. Otherwise, the fragrance is soft and slightly powdery and looks, of course, also quite creamy.
Towards the end, the sun cream note loses itself a little, because the fragrance then becomes even more sweetly floral. Actually he stays that way afterwards, but you also have to say that he won't last long anyway. If you want to enjoy the beautiful sun cream scent again, you should spray it on again after three hours. But one way or another, the scent is pretty good!

The Sillage and the shelf life:

The Sillage is somewhat weak and will therefore only be perceived from close up. Well, just like sunscreen. The shelf life is also rather short. After three to four hours there are only light, sweet-floral notes left, which do not last that long.

The bottle:

The bottle has the same disc-shaped shape as the original Nivea perfume, but is transparent with a golden yellow hue. Therefore there is no lid, because the spray head is integrated into the bottle. The bottle is reminiscent of the Nivea cans and looks quite okay.

Ah, the scent is great! Especially at the beginning, one smells a certain scent, which should be known to everybody as described above, especially in the summer or during the summer holiday: Sunscreen! Exactly, this creamy note with the distinctive scent that 50% of mankind smears on the skin as a precaution when the sun is high in the sky and everyone sizzles without mercy. The other 50% of mankind are unfortunately a bit too careless and careless in dealing with the sun and just stubbornly think: "Nothing happens!
Yes, maybe this could have been said in the 60/70s, but today, where every year gets hotter than the previous one, you should really use sunscreen. When sunbathing anyway, but also if you are out in the sun too long on really hot days or have to work outside in summer. So, you know, don't be too stupid, people, and use sunscreen once in a while. There have been sun sprays for years that are much easier to apply than sun milk,... just a little hint if you didn't know that... :DD

Well, so the fragrance, how could it be otherwise, has become a summer fragrance that is more feminine than unisex due to the floral notes. It is best used during the day, especially because you smell sun cream and associate it with a sunny day instead of evening. For all sun worshippers, the fragrance is a must, at least as far as testing is concerned! For me it smells much better than the normal Nivea fragrance. Well then, get out into the sun (well, as soon as the sun should shine again in a few days) and test the scent, I'll grab a place in the shade,... and from there I'll look at the ladies applying some cream, mu ha ha,... oh you sound perverted... :DD

Have a nice evening, see you next time :)

A little heat, a little light

Those who have already walked alongside the beach promenade in Travemünde in winter might know this moment: only a few more walkers are on their way, the air is clear, the sky is cloudy, but underneath there is the sea - dark blue and silent. It's a bit like time stands still and nothing reminds you of the full summer afternoons with colourful beach towels, playing children, French fries kiosks and Co.
On such a winter afternoon I walked into the Nivea house there and tested Nivea Sun out of pure curiosity, actually without great expectations.
The fragrance evokes childhood memories of warm summers, skin salty from seawater and bare feet in the sand. It is not a sparkling good mood perfume that smells of the Caribbean, tropical fruits and sunshine, but more like creamed skin on a bright, sultry summer day. The scent brings back memories of warm summers even on a cool winter's day.

On me I strongly perceive a heavy flower note, I could swear it is tuberose. Very luxuriant, but warm and feminine. The fragrance does not show much development, from beginning to end the powdery heaviness of the flowers predominates. Sillage and durability are good
