This may be a silly question but does anyone know if Coppertone smells like it did 60 years ago?  Gosh, that's a long time but when I was a kid I loved Coppertone lotion because of the smell and my Mom always had it on hand because we would stay in the country for a couple of weeks and swim everyday and play outside.  If anyone knows, please share.

@Katcat1 I really don't know, I haven't bought it in awhile, I like the smell of it. You can go to a store, unscrew it and take a whiff.

@Jordan2   I am hoping someone will know so I don't have to do the unscrew cap at the store.  I actually do that with a few things to see if I like the scent.   lol

@monicakm  Oh yes, memories.  When I got 2nd degrees burns on face, arms and back.  In a lake playing games with my brother and his girlfriend and her brother and I did not realize I was frying.  I was in 7th grade and my mother made me go to school and wear a bra.  I had water blisters all over my back and on my face.  I will never forget that. I no longer worship the sun.  I will stay pale.  Thanks for letting me know.  I have to buy a bottle.  I have a spray that is unscented by alba Botanica.  I use it on my arms and neck for when I am in the car.

I just recently bought some just for the fragrance, Coppertone Tanning SPF 8 Lotion 8 oz. for $6.97 at Amazon.  It says its the same fragrance.  The bottle I got was the old packaging, now its called Coppertone Tanning Defend & Glow.  I get that old Coppertone smell from it, but it seems not as strong to me, but that just could be me.  I tried Bobbi Brown Beach fragrance, but it just wasn't what I was looking for.

I think some Coppertone has that scent, but not all. I think the brown bottle does, but I suggest doing a sniff test.

I love that smell. Also Sea and Ski.

OMGosh!  I can't even imagine.  I touched my leg to a boyfriend's side muffler on his car (I think that's what it was).  He had warned me against it several times.  Third degree burn   I tuffed it out during the rodeo he was riding in.  Lots of help from people with water and ice packs.  Can't believe it didn't get infected with all the dust at the arena.

@monicakm Interesting history.

I dated a 5 X World Champion rodeo rider for 2 years.

I guess we're twins!!!

@Katcat1 Ready for another funny???  Not only are we twins, but my step mother went to school with the inventor of Hawaiian Tropic! 

Their spray on is very light.  I got it when Neutrogena spray wasn't available!  I was expecting "motor oil".

Not a nice respectful guy to women in later life.  You can just imagine.  He's about 80 now.

@sunsetbeach   If you want to smell some very interesting parfums go to fresh.com  Select a fragrance and then select "Tell Me More"  There you will find the top, middle and bottom notes ingredients.  That's how I picked out 4 fragrances two of which are my very favorites.  I love Brown Sugar because you smell lemon with caramel and it's like you can't stop smelling it and then Citron de vigne which is bubbly champayne but to be honest it is more of a seductive scent but in a very feminine way. You also can't get enough of it.  I love to smell it on my skin.   Citrus fragrances are offered, floral, woodsy, etc.  Just check it out.  Nordstrom and Sephora sell Fresh parfums.

Yes, the subject comes up now and then and I, too, bought the BB fragrance.

Sadly, it smelled like wet cardboard on me 

I ended up giving it away.
