Description
Jil Sander launches its annual limited editions of the original fragrances Sun (1989) and Sun Men (2002) for the upcoming summer of 2016. Two new fragrances are named Jil Sander Sun Shake and Jil Sander Sun Fizz and with the message that “summer is not just a season, but also a state of mind – celebrating the here and now”.
Jil Sander Sun Shake is a fresh, fun and cheerful scent that carries the atmosphere of summer all year round. In accordance with the modern vision of Jil Sander, Sun Shake is the first patented bi-phase perfume technology – an innovation that subtly fuses the scent’s tropical colors by simply shaking the perfume bottle.The composition is announced as an oriental – floral – fruity, developed by the perfumer Nathalie Lorson. It opens with bright citrus accents of bergamot, mandarin and lemon peel. Pink grapefruit makes a sensual cocktail with frangipani flowers and lotus at the heart. Heliotrope, musk and precious woods end up in the base and symbolize the sunset.
Available as a 100 ml Eau de Toilette with 150 ml body lotion and 150 ml shower gel.

Sun Shake is almost identical to Laguna by Salvador Dali.
They both possess the same notes : delicate lemon (like in lemon extract cake, lemon meringue) + powdery vanilla + melting plastic note. Sun Shake is creamier, Laguna is more fresh.

I’ve bought this perfume a year ago. While I liked it straight away it was nothing special – very citrusy opening and once citruses fade it became sweeter and more floral. It did’t leave any lasting impression and I gradually completely forgot about it.
But lately I have come to know and really appreciate frangipani. When searching for frangipani scents I came across mention of this perfume. I’ve pulled out this bottle again, which was hiding forgotten behind other perfumes. And yes, there it is, my beloved frangipani, shinig from behind citruses. I’ve came to love this perfume and often layer it with coconut fragrances and find it divine.
But again, it’s not a complex scent, if you like citruses and frangipani you are going to like it, but if you’re searching for something deep and complex you better pass.
But I for one love it and find it’s a perfect summer scent to make me feel clean and refreshed.

I already wrote a review, but it was for other Jil Sander, so deleted it and here I go again. Well, I like it. Not simmilar to original Sun and on me, almost no citrus notes, I smell some fruits and flowers which I can not identify. The note I feel the most is frangipani (and I shake it well). Behind it I can feel gentle woody and musky notes. All together I like it, but not love. IMO, the colour and bottle does not fit the juoice inside, but still quite joyfull. Considering the price and moderate perfomance I can recommend you to give a try. It has Jil Sander vibe.To make it simple, it is like mild floral soap which stay close to the skin, and worth of buying only if you get it for a really good price.

This starts off with a lovely lemon meringue scent which fades quite quickly into mildly sweet slightly powdery floral. Overall it isn’t very strong but I got a large cheap bottle so I’m not fussed. This is quite unisex, which I only realised after my husband said it was a bit aftershavey, and as soon as he said it I could see/smell what he meant. There is something underneath the thing, a little too much wood and bergamot which tips it into unisex territory. The wibbly wobbly double layer liqued, which you have to shake up together before you spray, is quite fascinating, starts clear pink and clear yellow and then turns opaque peach, then watch the weird sparkly effect as it settles back and separates again. Shake, mix, spray it says on the box. Shake, mix, fun! 😀

Fresh and light but not very special, just a lemon summer breeze. It opens sparkling and a bit harsh so this could be a unisex scent either. Not compareable to the original Sun. Sadly its not turning into a powdery floral on my skin, all I get is lemon and citrus. Reminds me of shower gel.

I blind bought this for its bi-colour concept which is very unique and interesting.
I thought it would be a very fruity citrusy fragrance… however, the actual scent is not really what I expected.
It opens with nice citrus notes but about 10 minutes later it goes into floral soft powdery base. This is a disappointment for me as I am more into citrus fresh fragrance that lingers long instead of floral, but if you are into floral fragrance this might be nice for you.
