Sun Shake
by Jil Sander
Sun Shake by Jil Sander is a light, effervescent fragrance that opens with sparkling citrus notes of bergamot, lemon peel, and mandarin orange, creating a fresh yet gentle first impression. Within minutes, it transforms into a soft, powdery floral base with frangipani, lotus, and hints of heliotrope, evoking a warm, creamy, and slightly sweet atmosphere. The scent settles into a mild, intimate presence with woody and musky undertones, feeling more personal than dramatic. It performs best in warm weather, particularly during summer, and is associated with daytime wear, with most users finding it ideal for spring and summer. The concept of a dual-phase liquid that must be shaken before use adds a playful, experimental element, resulting in a visually cohesive, peach-hued mist upon spraying.
