as the other posters have stated unfortunately nothing extraordinary however nice and inoffensive.
good frag, good for the wallet too :)
got this one during summer sale and like it, suits almost any occasion althoguh i find it a little to 'warm' for a pure summer scent.
a thumbs up anyway

At first I swore this was spicy suntan lotion but that was my brain playing tricks on me with word associate with the name. Distinguishably a Jil Sander frag because it also reminded me of Jil Sander Man. It has that sweet undertone to it but the topnotes really shine. Mint and rosemary make this a fun cooling yet refreshing scent. A good one.

Sun Men is a vibrant fragrance that is both luminous and warm... Jil Sander have done well in capturing the essence of summer in this creation. It is light, yet projects well, and one cant help but feel a sense of well being and vitality when wearing this. A nice play between citrus, herbaceous and woody accords.
Of the entire men's JS fragrance portfolio, this is the standout scent for me. However I have growing concern that it may be on the way out, as I have seen stock diminish in stores I've visited internationally. Time to stock up! This is a great fragrance to add to the wardrobe for balmy summer occasions or fresh everyday wear.

I just got a sample of this and I must say that it is better than I expected. It sure smells quite "common" and synthetic, no doubt about that, but it has another familiar tone to it that I quite like. It make me think back on a specific summer I went on holiday in Israel when I was about 13-14 years old. I was wearing a mini of Samba Man and this one comes quite close to that one. For the sake of good old memories I will always kind of like the smell of Samba. So here it is, but with a lovely note of rosewood hidden within.

I could see myself purchasing this one, when in need for something ozon like for the few times I don't want to stand out, but enjoy what ever I'm wearing none the less. On the contrary of how MonkeyManMatt feels about it, I find it quite powerful with fair longetivity.

I do want to seek out the female origin however...

Like most Sander fragrances, this one lacks teeth. It's a fair scent, good for spring and summer, but it smells like any fifteen other spring/summery fragrances that you can get elsewhere. Excellent bottle design and packaging, but the scent itself lacks distinction. Why they keep this one and the Jil Sander Man while discontinuing Feeling Man and Background (two Sanders that actually have a backbone) I'll never understand.

Divine. Simply love it. Smells like the sun. In my limited fragrance knowledge, I think it resembles Amouage Dia for men.
