Completely underestimated...

In my opinion, this wonderful fragrance is completely underestimated. At least that was the case for me over the last few years... some time ago, I just sprayed "Jil" in the drugstore. More like passing by and without high expectations... a lovely sweet, but not sugary scent comes towards me. At the same time fresh but not too fresh. Mature, but not old. The lavender note... delightful! In the heart note, the lavender has disappeared, instead it becomes more powdery... I smell a balance that never annoys me in any way. Nothing pushes itself to the forefront. A beautiful scent for the day for a woman who has class, knows what she wants but has nothing stuffy about her. Really lovely. The base then simply becomes soft, gentle, and feminine. This is the fragrance that, by the way, is all the way at the back in "my" Douglas, in the last row and right at the bottom. Sorry, it doesn't deserve that spot! If you feel like I do and have always somehow "overlooked" "Jil," then definitely give it a try! My current everyday go-to....

I loved the scent, but unfortunately, it reminds me of a not-so-great time in my life. Still, I definitely recommend giving it a try. It's something special!!!

That's true. Totally underrated. I have it in my office too, and it always stands out positively. Perfect for fall/winter!
