Jil Sander Man Jil Sander 2007 Eau de Toilette

Once again, a fragrance that beams me back to the past.

This scent smells like jute or burlap on my skin! So coarse sack linen. Very natural and distinctive. I would say it's a very masculine fragrance and quite unusual for its time of creation. The Eau de Toilette does not develop much on me but smells from start to finish like this natural fiber. Over time, it becomes increasingly powdery. I can describe the overall impression better than filtering out each note with my nose.

Maybe I was just conditioned in my childhood. Both grandparents had a small farm as a side business, and in the 70s and 80s, sacks made of sack linen were still in use. Additionally, burlap dolls became trendy in the early 80s. My mother also got into a crafting course like that, and our kitchen smelled of this material many evenings.

The longevity is good. The sillage is also noticeable with strong application.

Unfortunately, this newer product is already being taken off the market again. Unfortunately!
