nope it smells soapy
It doesn't smell like Bain De Soleil, I'm old enough to know I made a special trip excited by the hype, I'm only rating the product on the smell, that was my only interest in it. For sunscreen it seems way overpriced

So happy this product has been revived. Amazing!
I stumbled upon this online and couldn’t be happier! My mom and grandma used to use the classic orange gel when I was younger and the smell instantly transports me to time with that. I remember how great it made your skin lock and the smile was wonderful. When I found this, I was so happy that this product has been revived. It is exactly like I remember it.

You can almost hear the song...
Every time I look at it I hear the original song from the commercial in my head. No, but really, it has a great fragrance and consistency and nostalgia aside is my new favorite sun product.

The Orange Gelée rises again!
Takes me back to the taming days of my youth! While friends placed baby oil on, i had this marvelous gelée that had an exotic aroma of faraway seas and white beaches! This gel is almost perfect! The first aroma is more floral than I remembered, but then the spices begin to gently waft through and those tropical wave start flooding my senses. Welcome back Bain de Soleil!

Great replacement for Bain de Soleil
Years, well decades really, ago I loved Bain de Soleil. Sadly, its use probably contributed to my recurring problems with skin cancer since the SPF was 4 at most. This new Vacation brand smells and looks very much like my old favorite but provides a 30 SPF. It's a bit of a splurge compared to other sunscreens so I don't use it all of the time.

Very Disappointed
I am very disappointed. You advertise it’s just like Bain de Soliel, even the scent. I used Bain de Soliel for many many years and your product is nothing like it. You can’t even compare the scents. The only thing it has is the color orange. I should have returned it.

Just like old Bain de Soleil but with actual SPF!
Just LOVE that someone made a sunscreen that feels just like the old Bain de Soleil orange gelee but with actual SPF! Not only did it protect my skin perfectly, but it goes on easily, is super hydrating and gives you that glossy look with just a hint of bronze. LOVE IT!

Very disappointed. Smell is not bain de soleil. It is very greasy. Not reef safe and includes endocrine disrupting ingredients. Will not buy again.
