LEAF - Your Breath After Chewing Gum
I sampled all of Jil Sander's Olfactory Series 1 collection the day after their release in-stores, and this was the first one. It was a delight. I immediately got a green tomato leaf note, which I'm glad someone else corroborated, since it's not listed here. It lends an natural herbaceousness and rescues the composition from becoming straight toothpaste.
The mint here is sweet. So while it's not full-blown toothpaste, it does remind me of Wrigley's Spearmint gum—soft, green, and chewy. I think a good comparison is the way someone's breath smells after chewing spearmint gum. The sparkling, menthol-quality of the mint is gone, but you're left with the sweet scent that's a little flatter and smoother.
