Not-so-stinky Sunscreen

Wow, how did 18 months go by so fast?
Seems it was ages ago when I booked my first safari for my son and I, and now, 18 August is knocking on the door. As Willie sang: "Funny How Time Slips Away."
Anywho, sure have learned an awful lot on this forum, feel we're pretty well prepared for the trip, much kudos to all those who post in detail.
Knowing scent is/can be a real killer on stalking the PG that we will be after, is there any specific brand of sunscreen that doesn't leave you smelling like a fresh cut coconut or some tropical Hawaiian flower?
I'm a fair-skinned Finn, and the sun is not my friend.
Got Permethrin and Picaridin for the bugs, and a wide-brimmed hat, but, unsure on what to use for sun protection?
As usual, your suggestions and first-hand knowledge will be much appreciated!

Avon Skin So Soft with bug guard is THE best all around product for these hunts. Insect repellent that even works on tse tse flies plus sunscreen. I'm wheels up for Zim at the end of the Month and I'll have a bottle or two packed,

An email through your website Contact Us link was replied to the next day with the tracking info for the correction.
