Most successful German fashion designer. She is known for her androgynous style and designs, and I am all the more surprised that she has created such a sensual fragrance. Just looking at the fragrance components already suggests a romantic scent.
I first tested it on a paper strip and found "Jil" to be incredibly boring. Actually as expected, but as an experienced fragrance tester, I sprayed it on my skin again and was surprised. Vibrant warmth and a hint of security enveloped me. Call me crazy, but it had something physical about it. I was completely lulled and managed to snag a sample at Marionnaud. I wanted to test it on a living object, so my favorite classmate Luna had to step in. She wore it the next day, and I was overwhelmed. She smelled subtle yet somehow seductive. It also awakened a cozy, snuggly feeling in me. Luna thought it was fantastic, and it became her signature scent. Every time my colleagues and I caught a whiff of this fragrance, we associated it with Luna. Wonderful scent, but why?
Heliotrope (also known as vanilla flower), amber, musk, and vanilla are known for their flattering personality, which also brings a certain glow to the fragrance. All of them are soft in perception and soothing. I find these components very skin-affine or closely related to the skin's scent. They blend wonderfully with the skin's natural scent and enhance it. Therefore, "Jil" does not come across as intrusive; instead, it is perceived as a personal scent. Almost like a second skin.
"Jil" also smells romantic, and I imagine a young woman (aged 20-40) in a delicate dress with ruffles and long hair. Perhaps it is even curly.
Conclusion:
This fragrance is absolutely recommendable because it suits almost any occasion and gives every woman just a bit more femininity. Subtle seduction might also be a term that fits here.
I would be happy if more women would wear or at least test this fragrance to see how they experience it on their SKIN. If you're already testing on paper, then it's better to use a cosmetic tissue, as the scent disperses better on a delicate fabric and gets more air. The alcohol evaporates faster this way, and the fragrance molecules can unfold their effect more quickly and effectively!
So my ladies (and gentlemen, too): test it and give feedback! :)
Thank you very much. @Louce: I didn't expect any romantic, soft scents because you yourself are more androgynous, as is your style. It has nothing to do with your sexual orientation.
The first scent from Sander was the best. Women Pur, 1979. It's a shame this fragrance is no longer available. The fashion from Sander was also much better and of higher quality. Still, a trophy for you!
Thank you.
