What does Nivea Sun smell like?

It opens with green notes, moves into blossoms at the heart and dries down to powdery notes. Fresh and floral accords lead, with sweetness and a creamy softness alongside them, and a synthetic, clean feel running through.

Longevity and sillage are moderate. Most voters pick summer and spring, and leisure, daily wear and the office come up most often. It reads mostly feminine to voters, though a fair number call it masculine. Dior Cheval Blanc Paris and Adopt' Nostalgia share a close profile.
