Hola chicos! Today, we’ll be talking about a scent that most of us guys have likely encountered at some point in our fragrance journey – Sun Men by Jil Sander. This fragrance is often one of the first summer scents guys get introduced to, and for good reason. It offers a decent, crowd-pleasing aroma and doesn’t break the bank.
Quick Facts:
- Scent Profile: fresh, floral, citrus
- Season: summer
- Longevity: less than average
- Occasion: leisure time
- Price: $
Smell:
Sun Men by Jil Sander has a straightforward yet enjoyable scent profile. It kicks off with a robust mandarin note, accompanied by a refreshing breeze and subtle white florals in the background. Sure, it’s a bit generic, but not in a bad way. The first 90 minutes are especially delightful. Ever had a Capri Sun? Sun Men smells a lot like how Capri Sun tastes (minus the sweetness).
This is the kind of fragrance perfect for casual settings, like an outdoor picnic or a trip to the lake. While it’s called Sun Men, it’s not exactly a high-heat summer fragrance. It can be a bit sweet and strong for those scorching hot days, so I’d recommend wearing it in temperatures up to around 25°C.
Longevity:
For the first 90 minutes, Sun Men packs a punch with its delicious scent. But after that, the fragrance profile changes a bit, becoming weaker. Overall, you can expect about 4 to 5 hours of wear time, which isn’t too shabby for a budget-friendly scent.

Final Thoughts:
Sun Men by Jil Sander is a summer classic for guys who don’t want to splurge on their fragrances. It has a fairly simple, yet pleasant aroma that won’t necessarily turn heads but is easy to wear and exudes a happy-go-lucky vibe. It’s best suited for casual daytime activities.
If you’ve grown fond of Sun Men and are looking for an alternative that’s a bit more upscale, consider giving Afternoon Swim by Louis Vuitton a try. This fragrance also features a fresh mandarin note, but it’s executed even better (and, of course, comes with a heftier price tag). In any case, Sun Men is a solid choice for anyone seeking an affordable, easygoing summer fragrance.
