The Sunscreen That Smells Amazing

Sunscreen often has the wonderful scent... of holidays. These sunscreens, in addition to their protective functions against UVA and UVB and their moisturizing power, often have irresistible fragrances or scents that evoke paradise destinations.

The brain associates a scent with a memory. That’s why it’s not uncommon to remember, years later, the smell of the sunscreen from your youth. Here are some holiday-inspired fragrance ideas to help you choose a sunscreen that smells great.

Monoi, tiare flower, frangipani, orange blossom: the floral notes of summer
Monoi is often the star scent of sun care products. Floral and essential, it envelops the skin in a product that is both heavenly and gentle. With a sunny and delicious fragrance, monoi is often combined with tiare flower and the milky notes of coconut milk.

Rich and voluptuous, frangipani has a scent that is both almondy and vanilla-like. This fragrance can be enhanced with fresh green floral notes, creating a holiday perfume full of freshness.

Like a real perfume, sunscreen can have oriental notes, giving it a fragrance that is feminine, sensual, and full of character. How do you recognize an oriental scent? Three elements are essential: a vanilla heart, balsamic touches, and an amber base.

Coconut, tonka bean, vanilla: the sweet scents of sunscreens
Typical island fruits like pineapple, pomegranate, mango, or passion fruit offer sweet and fresh fragrances, ideal for children. Without being too strong, they bring a touch of the exotic.

Coconut is a key scent in the making of sun care products. Coconut vegetable oil is very nourishing for the skin, thanks to its softening and moisturizing properties. Hair products with a UV filter often contain it.

Suave, tonka bean often brings stronger, cocoa-like notes to sunscreen. Finally, one of consumers’ favorite fragrances remains vanilla. A product with a hint of vanilla will have a caramelized and delicious touch, reminiscent of childhood perfumes.
