I’m curious about sunscreen as a note or accord in perfumery.
I don’t mean beachy marine scents, sea salt, ocean breeze or aquatic summer fragrances. I mean the specific smell of freshly applied sunscreen: creamy, soft, slightly sweet, warm, clean, maybe a bit powdery or floral.
I’ve noticed that Escentric 02 by Escentric Molecules gives me a summery feeling that points a little in that direction, even though it doesn’t smell exactly like sunscreen to me.
What notes or materials usually create that sunscreen / sun lotion impression? Are there any fragrances where you think this accord is done especially well?
