Which Should You Buy?
Jil Sander Sun is a total trip back to the 80s, polarising everyone it meets. Some find it a nostalgic, warm hug of a sun cream (the proper European kind, mind), others recoil at what they call an old-fashioned scrubber. Either way, it's never boring.
Vigour is a proper powerhouse, a bold men's Oriental Floral that doesn't mess about. It's a love-it-or-hate-it kind of scent, divisive for its sheer strength and complex blend. Not for the faint-hearted, but if you want to make an entrance, this is your weapon.

Season and Occasion Fit
Seasons
A summer scent - airy and clear, designed for hot weather.
Occasions
Its bold projection and strong warmth make it less suitable for formal or office settings, where it might be too much. It shines in casual settings, particularly on holiday or during relaxed evenings, aligning with its "sun cream" and "beach" associations from reviews. While some find it good for dates, its distinct, sometimes polarising character might not be universally adored.
Seasons
Occasions
Its potent projection and intense warm, spicy, and woody accords make it quite unsuitable for an office environment, as it could easily overwhelm. However, its sophisticated and sensual nature is perfect for date nights or formal events where you want to make a statement.
Similarity Breakdown
Both share Warm Spicy, Woody, Amber accords and Sandalwood, Patchouli notes
