A Sun Sorbet??
Hello you comment-watchers! Welcome to a new fragrance description from me. If you were hoping for a special scent today, something noble, niche, or something like that, you might be a bit disappointed because I will be presenting a very simple fragrance. Namely, Sun Sorbet by Jil Sander, but sometimes simple mainstream fragrances can be quite nice, so stay tuned and watch… or read… hmm… maybe I should really start a YouTube channel or something, mu ha ha ha :DD
Anyway. Sun Sorbet then. Sun sorbet? An ice cream with sun flavor? How can one imagine that? Well, either it’s an ice cream that is as hot as the sun (I don’t care if that’s impossible, just imagine it, but no, once again no one here has any extravagant fantasies, and yes, I can also fantasize about other things than just ladies… tssss…. What people think of me again…!). Or it’s an ice cream that perhaps reminds one of the sun in general, maybe because it smells like sunscreen? I know that many ladies are crazy about sunscreen scents, so why not an ice cream with such a fragrance note? He he…
Well, in any case, the more likely explanation is also the most boring one: It’s a fragrance that simply reminds one of ice cream because it’s summer, and one likes to indulge in this airy, delicious mass. Ice cream is, so to speak, the chocolate of summer!
Good, on paper everything sounds nice and harmless, let’s see how the scent really is!
For the time being, that’s about it, as the fragrance is quite simply composed and therefore smells for a while only of jasmine and blackcurrants. What I find a bit difficult is whether the blackcurrants also smell like a sorbet,… well, it could be, it’s definitely fruity, and I think because of the sweetness of the jasmine, it does smell a bit like ice cream.
In the base, it smells as before, the fragrance doesn’t change much anymore. However, the muggy aspect gradually fades away, which is very pleasant. Additionally, the sweetness of the fragrance increases a bit, and everything smells pleasantly powdery-creamy. A fragrance that is unremarkable but still nice.
I mention this because this fragrance has not been available for some time. You can still occasionally find it with some online retailers, especially on eBay or the Amazon marketplace, but since it is no longer available, it usually costs between 50-100 euros now, and I recommend that you definitely do not pay such prices, as the fragrance is not really worth it, and as mentioned, there are plenty of similar alternatives from Jil Sander. For example, just try out various “Sun” fragrances from Jil Sander (or, if they still exist, the “Pop” fragrances of the same brand, like “Arty Pink” and so on,… by the way, I really liked Coral Pop!), I think there’s something for every taste. And these fragrances are also affordable, so you can easily use them for a summer.
Well, that’s it then. And hey, I managed to describe a pure summer fragrance again without using the term “bikini babes” (this doesn’t count!! :D), he he.
So then, have a nice evening and see you later :)

The Scent:
The fragrance starts off lightly citrusy, but mainly with a creamy-powdery blackcurrant note. The citrus fades away very quickly, and an intense sweetness from the jasmine comes in. In the background, there are probably indeterminate flowers, or something similar, because in the heart note, despite its casual nature, the scent seems a bit muggy to me. For the time being, that’s about it, as the fragrance is quite simply composed and therefore smells for a while only of jasmine and blackcurrants. What I find a bit difficult is whether the blackcurrants also smell like a sorbet,… well, it could be, it’s definitely fruity, and I think because of the sweetness of the jasmine, it does smell a bit like ice cream.
In the base, it smells as before, the fragrance doesn’t change much anymore. However, the muggy aspect gradually fades away, which is very pleasant. Additionally, the sweetness of the fragrance increases a bit, and everything smells pleasantly powdery-creamy. A fragrance that is unremarkable but still nice.
The Sillage and Longevity:
The sillage is rather weak, even if the fragrance should seem more intense later as it becomes muggy. It will only be detectable from close up, and even then only for a shorter time. The longevity isn’t very long either, but it’s not as short as other summer fragrances. I would estimate it to be around three to four hours. The Bottle:
The bottle is quite simple. It is square, has a red-tinted glass with the typical Jil Sander inscription on it, and is topped with a large white plastic cap. Overall, nothing special, but the color of the bottle is at least quite nice. There might be a slight risk of confusion with Jil Sander Sunrise. Conclusion:
So… as expected, Sun Sorbet has become a rather simple fragrance that also comes across as quite unremarkable. Of course, none of this is bad, as it does smell quite nice. However, it belongs to those fragrances that you don’t necessarily remember and that might be quickly forgotten, and where you wouldn’t be particularly sad if it were no longer available since there are plenty of alternatives available, even from Jil Sander itself. I mention this because this fragrance has not been available for some time. You can still occasionally find it with some online retailers, especially on eBay or the Amazon marketplace, but since it is no longer available, it usually costs between 50-100 euros now, and I recommend that you definitely do not pay such prices, as the fragrance is not really worth it, and as mentioned, there are plenty of similar alternatives from Jil Sander.
