Suntan Lotion by Demeter for Women - 4 oz Cologne Spray

I bought this because it smells like Coppertone. Reviewers who complain about a cheap chemical smell must be expecting something else. What they expect I don't know. The name of this is Suntan Lotion. Now, there are suntan lotions with various fragrances but Coppertone, to my nose, is the best. This stuff lives up to its name and it's a lot less expensive than Bobbi Brown Beach. Five stars.

This smells like SUNSCREEN- NOT Sun Tan Lotion as described. No banana/coconut awesome smell- nope smells like plain Sun SCREEN. Very disappointed it was my birthday present to myself and can’t even return it.

This comes on strong. A floral mixed with coppertone. It isn’t unpleasant but it took me a minute to really begin to understand what I was smelling. Then I got a visual of being a teenager at the beach with my friends on a hot august day. The smell of my coppertone mixed with sea salt and sweat. This is it. I like it for new august day memories with my granddaughters playing in the sand. This one is nostalgic for sure. Totally tubular!!!

This smells like suntan lotion. But! Not that tropical coconut type... This smells like the 1990s copper tone that Cho mama used to put on you before you went to the beach in Florida in 1998. Also, it is a touch floral and alcoholie at first.. But it settles.. This is pretty good, not perfect.

I've been reminiscing about this smell for quite a while tiring of all the coconut scented sunscreens. This smells just like the real deal! I saw reviews about bottle leakage but my bottle arrived leak free. Give this a shot if you miss those good old Gidget or Beach Blanket Bingo kind of days.

I was shocked to learn that Bain de Soleil - the orange one with the intoxicating smells-like-summer fragrance —has been discontinued. This cologne was recommended to me as a possible dupe — and it’s close. The initial spritz has an odd, almost acrid smell, and it’s way too strong for my taste, BUT several minutes in, the fragrance softens and settles down to a reasonable beachy dupe. While I don’t doubt the reviews with low ratings, I wonder if those reviewers just needed to give the fragrance a little more time to settle. Initial spritz - maybe 2 stars; half an hour in - 5 stars.

At first, it doesn’t smell bad. And then you get this horrible stench. Thank God it doesn’t last much more than about five minutes. IF the smell was decent .. it would only last for about 10 minutes. It literally goes away completely 100% after 10 minutes. Do not buy this sent. Do not buy this product. You will be sorry.

I love perfumes & various scents. But there’s something in this particular scent that smells very foul to me. It might be me interacting with it or hormones. I was hoping for a more tropical scent than this. Good price point though.
