I was so intrigued after reading the description of CB Beach, I ordered a sample, hoping it would perhaps be even closer to the true "suntan lotion" experience (wasn't called sunscreen in '66). Alas, not only does it not smell like my memories of 1966 Coppertone and the beach, it has a cheapness that resembles spray deodorant or certain hand creams.

I can see the outline of a movie, LOL... How romantic, to work at a library a few blocks away from the pier where you had your first kiss! I can see the outline of a movie, LOL…

I grew up in a beach town and had my first kiss under the pier in 1969...a young surferboy slathered in Coppertone. A cold, salty kiss. I now work at the library just a few blocks up from that pier, and I have worn this scent to work a few times...people love it. At The Beach–I love this stuff!

Can you see any French woman wearing this? The concept reminds me of all those Calvin Klein fragrances. I have tried it...because the smell does bring back those Coppertone memories by the pool. All I can say is the flies really seemed to like it. This is a very American scent. Can you see any French woman wearing this? The concept reminds me of all those Calvin Klein fragrances.

I love all the water formulas, because really you can use them either way (room or person). I do, anyway. K, Surprised, would have guessed you would like MHH better than ATB.

It does smell synthetic, but I think of that as part of its authenticity...I mean, suntan oil smells synthetic. But the first minute or two is rather harsh. Thank you M!

It really captures something special, even if I've not personally experienced that something. It's just a neat, very neat, fragrance. And fun! There's nothing overly serious in it to distract from the fun of it. I'm still flummoxed over Mr. H, and still can't decide whether I like it or dislike it or whatever... I think I might take everyone's advice and get it as a room spray, because I think I"d like it to linger in the air even if I can't wear it. Hope you have fun at the beach, enjoy your vacation!
