Sunscreen (suntan lotion)

Not a plant: a memory of beach lotion, rebuilt from coconut lactones and salicylates.

What it is
An idea of a smell that perfumers build: there is nothing to extract it from.
How perfumers build it
Worth knowing
Salicylates double as real sunscreen filters, which is partly why they read as 'beach' to so many noses.

Not named by the house of any of the 1080 perfumes read so far.
